Fantastic Voyage: Finch Rig and New Model

 Started rigging my Finch for the wings open model, using the tutorial for the human rig and altering it as I went along, so rather then having a shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand I have a shoulder, wrist and what I'm calling a pinky joint for the last two, which I will have bending in individually. I then added on three more longer fingers joins that will help move the wing forwards and backwards.

 When making the joint I didn't know what I wanted to do at first, so I created a control behind the wrist control and had it there until I decided that I just wanted the joint to turn forwards and backwards, so I eventually replaced it with another circle nurb that I will use for the bend, by doing this I don't know If I will create custom controls for the wings and instead might just restrict the rotate control instead for the animation.




 When I had finally made the rig I realised also that the joints where extending outside the model so I had to re a-just them so they fit.
 After I did that I experimented with moving the joins around and realised that the rig wouldn't be able to suit some of the controls I wanted as easier as I would of have liked, so I decided to make a fourth model, combing one of the wings from the T posing Finch and the other from the wings down model to place it onto of the rig with only one of the arm joins and doing the same controls on that one.

Sound Experiment 04

 Today I decided to record some more natural sounds, this time seeing how the sound of wind would sound through a window before I recorded it outside, as I think the slight whistling noise through the window would make it sound more interesting, I am planning on collecting more natural sounds, but I wanted to see how it would sound before I progressed onwards in case the background noise was too much in comparison to the wind and ruined it.  For the second sound for my second image, I wanted to continue to find something more sharper so I tried to record the sound of cactus spikes, particularly if I ran my fingers through it, as it makes a very sharp, high pitched sound that I think could work better, especially if I could replicate the sound to reflect the more smaller portions of the image.  Lastly I wanted to try and collect a more electronic sound for image one, to match its sharp, electric colours so I wanted to start by recording a microwave, as I thought is humming noi

Premise: Room Design and Development

Image
After finally deciding on a character design for the lead in my story, I decided to take that design and explore I will approach the environment where the story will be set. I wanted to look at making the room look very dull and also mismatched and dated to suit the juxtaposing feeling it has against Drew and how they feel being within the environment and how it feeds into their feeling of loneliness. I want ed to have an obvious focus toward the room looking old and not suited for Drew by looking at dated carpets and duvet designs to show how ill suited the room if for them, so I mainly focused on 50's patterned and designs. I also wanted to explore how I could structure the bed before finally comparing how I wanted the room to look colour wise. I am struggling to decide whether the rom looks good or bad against all the unflattering colours and designs, and as well which room conveys the idea I had for it the most effectively (e.g it previously being a young girls ro
