After taking small adjustments and discussing it with my team, we have finally managed to come up with a final design for the hall where the talent show will take place. The designs are messy as we wanted the set to look like it was designed by the children themselves, which is why none of the designs are neat, and why even the school logo is messy as well, to emphasise this I also made a brush out of Mooms hands and used that on the back wall to show that the walls are meant to be messily painted. I also changed the colour of the back wall, because I felt that, along with the hands the wall looked like a murder scene, so I changed it to green, the other colour of the Atypical Academy and I think it brightens up the set more and allows the character to stand out better. Looking at this I feel that the walls and the signs nee to be less shiny, but overall i don't think we will need to make anymore changes to the set and we can now focus more on the characters and their outfits.

Initially I wanted to have the images be projected onto the 3 image planes and rendered from there however I found that they didn't show up in the render view so I had to thin and stretch out four cubes and project the wall designs on the Uv's, which I felt has done a good job at creating the set like appearance we are going for. I also wanted to try and see how the props, such as the basketball hoop and the mat would look and so far I am also happy with the effect they are creating within the set, and I think it helps to amplify the world we are trying to project, which is also why I also de...

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.
