The city breathes

 Here is  the Vimeo link to the final piece for the City in Flux project. Could have done better, but not having used After Effects before this term, I still need to practice with some features and effects.

Storyboards

 

Storyboards created for the development of the short story. Pleased with the results and happy with the process.

City in Flux WIP

 

Work in progress for the City in Flux Project. At this point I began physically drawing the farms to be included in the final animation. It was a time consuming process.

Mood Boards

  

Here is a photo of the mood boards created for the development of the short story. Moodboards are  fantastic way to plan out a project and I found that they are also very helpful to visualise the final piece. Experimented with various words, fonts, images and materials.

Dense Liquid Animation

The fourth and final animation created on Cinema 4D during Workshop Week. I enjoyed creating this one especially for the great effects, including lighting and gravity.

Materials and Lighting Test

Here is an image created on Cinema 4D as a lighting and materials test. I really like the lighting features on this piece of software; I find them extremely effective and simple to use.

Pilot animation

here is the first of 4 simple animations created during workshop week. This is my first time using Cinema 4D and I'm finding it relatively easy to use so far.

Work in Progress

Work in progress: Storyboard/plan for final City in Flux piece. I find that drawing out my plan for the final piece helps with visualising it and fixing any problems with the development.

City in Flux Trailer

Here is the link to the complete trailer for the City in Flux project. I 'm quite pleased with the result, due to the fact that I have never worked with this software before.

After effects

Screen Capture during the production of the After Effects trailer. This was my first encounter with After Effects and I found it slightly complicated to familiarise with the program's interface.

Short story

" I was told to sit quietly and wait till doctor Miles arrived, and I did so. I found myself observing the cold, grey room I was hurried into just moments before. The walls where a light grey and in the center of the room, where I sat, was a white desk and two white plastic chairs at each side.

I jumped when someone walked in and loudly announced their presence “Mrs Hailey. How are we doing today?”

I didn’t reply straight away and I watched him as he sat in front of me and checked some papers he brought.

“I’m doing alright, thank you…. Though I’m not sure why I was brought here.”

He smiled a smile that I found quite irritating, arrogant and compassionate all at the same time.

“You’re here so you can get better, Mrs Hailey.”

“Better? I’m absolutely fine.”

He smiled again. (...)"

Introduction of the short story inspired by a news paper article created for Physical Studio. I really wanted to portray a slightly eerie atmosphere to the short story, due to the main character's personality and development. 

Mind maps

Mind maps done on A2 paper to help with the research and the creative process. Post-it notes were also used in this part of the research; I found that physically moving key words helped in the generation of ideas and concepts.

Time Lapse

Time lapse taken on campus, in front of the Creative arts building, as a study on the flow of students and staff on campus grounds. This was taken over a 30/40 minute period and is in aid of my idea generation stage for the project.

Research

 



Screen capture of the first page of the initial research. I started my research based on what I did during my previous studies in Italy, and I found that it really helped during the reseach stage as a whole.

Tree in a Lightbulb

Here is the image we created in the Photoshop tutorial. It was simple to make and the result is very effective.

Show Reel Backwater Gospel

This piece is a series of various illustrations, concepts and animation reels that describe the development of raw ideas into the final piece, an original and peculiar animation that stands out for the soundtrack, art style and the general atmosphere that this piece illustrates.

The final animation is entitled Backwater Gospel and it's made by the youtube user Bo Mathorne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkDrIacHJM)
