Collaboration: Set Design Update

After speaking to Alan we decided on a style that we want to use and carry onto the final design. This is inspired by the background design from the 70's Paddington Bear, where it was hand drawn and looked very fake and supported by stands, which we thought would be a nice stylistic choice to make the set and the world feel more unique as well as to act as an aid for some more gags in some of the children's skits. We also wanted the world to look like it was designed by the children, which is why we decided to make the line art and colouring so rough and flat, as we thought it would add a certain charm and make it easier for the audience to understand who designed it. In Maya, we are thinking for tying to create this idea by using the Image Planes to model the set and then maybe flatten some cubed to act as smaller bit of card to project the basketball hoop and the mat on.

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

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
