Research For Depa's Project:

Ideas I've chosen to work on board...

After asking around people for job roles they possibly need for there ideas I end came a cross to a few teams:

Depa's Team:
Leap of faith - As a basic prop modeler and a secondary UV Mapper & Texturer (Props)

Shuhel & Leonard's Team:
As main UV Mapper & Texturer (Character & Props)

Tex's Idea/ Team:????
Wombed Man King of Gods - As a possible concept artist or a basic modeler as well as a paper mache assistant for some tree models.

Also Karen's Team / Idea:
As a UV Mapping & Texturing (One Character)

Project rejected...

Unfortunately my idea wasn't voted or favored so had to decide who to work for on other peoples ideas that got chosen or others who wanted to give it an other go for a 30 sec piece (that was given to us as a second choice be the tutors so long as we collaborate with other course students or so long as we have more than one student working on it) could be the same old ideas we had or even something new..

Synopsis:

With a bit of help from my friend Iredia I was able to come up with this synopsis.
Synopsis
After years of planning. Jim decides to make one final attempt at escaping from the mental institution. But will he be able to overcome the world's most keen-eyed warden..??

My Idea:

I finally decided to go for the one that applied to me more.. so choose the mentally ill guy esping from the institution.
I thought of titles like "The Loony" or "Luna" for this short animation.

Ideas:

Well.. having looked at stuff that I like and also find interesting. I came up with a few ideas.

Mythology:
-Prometheus
-Hercules' 12 Labor (One with the golden apples of Esperoides)
-Thesues Vs. The Minotar
-Golden Touch Of Midas
-Dedalus & Icarus (Hence the "Fall of Icarus" in the ocean)
-The Legend Of Phoenix (Death & Re-Birth through the ashes of Fire)

Personal Ideas:
-Adrenaline Rush:

-Skater Boi:

-The Lunatic or Luna

Looking @ Short Animations for ideas:

I found this animation on youtube done by Korean people. Simple, Smart and very nicely done.



Another simple idea of a short animation done by Pixar in 1997 "Geris Game".
Featuring an old man playing chess on his own but the way it's been directed and animated gives you the illusion that there are two of them.





Here is an other short animation again by Pixar "Knick Knack". Ok this seems a bit more complicated in terms of story coz of the more characters involved but they are simple which makes it easier to tell the what's going on.

Getting Started....:

Well this is the hardest part for me..
I have a few ideas in mind but most of the seem to lead me to dead end in terms of story.
There's loads of thinks I would be interested in creating in such as characters and environments but if u don't have a story to go with it it's pointless.
And trying to come up with one isn't as simple unless if u want something already done as an idea and change it. But I'd like to do something that would stand out something maybe with even a bit of meaning.

New Blog:

Dear all this is my new blog where I'll be sharing with you my ideas for my final major project for years 2010-2011 of my 3rd year BA top-up.
It's been a while since I've done this so bear with me.
As we where told from last year's that this year is very important, coz this year is the year that will be for some of us determining where about in the industry will we be ending up that is if we are lucky enough to get any job offers due to this collaborative project.

It's collaborative mandatory because of this years tasks:
_Forming ideas for an original idea, short story, an existing book, series of adverts or strings(Stings??)..

_Fortunate or Unfortunately we have to work in groups as to accomplish such a hard task. (Due to the fact we'll be needing help from each persons unique abilities or specialties that we developed from second to third year and over the summer for some.)

_Some people more talented then others and some more creative than others and more techincal then other all of that with help produce our ideas..!!!
