Tests

These are two tests that mess around with the parallax within the scene. One was within the 3D modelled environment and one was within a 2.5D environment. The 3D one enables me to manipulate a lot more within the scene which may be good for playing with the objects of architecture which are embedded within any one of the scenes in the film. The 2.5D method also has merits in that it will help me emphasis the idea of there being a layering of narratives with the film. One level of parallax manipulation operates with in the character environment and another will simultaneously operate on a level above that which ultimately breaks the fourth wall which could occur again and again....

A Few Final Renders from Film - 33a

These are two shots from the interior spaces created in hte film 33a. It is a slight parody on my own activities during the week that we were asked to make the 3D modelled film. I found myself so engrossed in experimenting with the 3D modelling program that I decided to make the film as I felt.

Inhabited Canyon

On 'Jed's' journey he ventures into the deep canyons created by the multiple Centre Points. As he explores further it becomes apparent to him that only what he sees is actually constructed. Finding himself to the rear of the film set unveils that all the buildings are only partially constructed.

Following his nose he ascends into the skyscrapers to find that the spaces within these high rise studio constructions are actually inhabited. The internal organs of these buildings have functions and facilitate studio upon studio that are either the remanence of past film productions or studios in full use.

Opening Sequence Drawing

Capturing the main moments in the film, this drawing represents the moments at which the mind of Jed slips into his synthetic creations of urban landscapes induced by his consumption of film and the perceptions he builds up of filmic geographies.

Tight Face Shot

THis shot begins to show how the obsession with film has taken a grasp on his life and perception of life.

Character Wide Shot

Establishing the character and his obsession of watching film.

Opening Shot

Over the Shoulder from Richard Young on Vimeo.

The opening shot sets the scene as an ambiguous location with no reference to anything other than the characters location within this room, watching movies.

Centre Point from Richard Young on Vimeo.

As the ships pass over Centre Point the shots become tighter and focus in on specific landmarks and how they have been affect by the production of London. As this was an initial test I have not yet worked into the actual physical state of Centre Point yet but will do so in the next couple of days.

Test 01

City of London from Richard Young on Vimeo.

This is a test of the London Transportation Ships approaching the city as a fleet. It encompasses the essence of London in that the horizon is 'that horizon' taht everyone knows and recognises.

This is the initial animatic that I have produced that has the same explanation as the storyboard previously posted.
