Minor Plan


Minor Plan

Planning out each entry of the journal, this will help me figure out what's going to be needed for each page. Once I know this  will be able to start accruing assets to make the journal when major starts or even before hand depending.

The Field Journal of William McManus

  • - Events introduction 

  • - Bio and equipment list 

  • - Day 1, Salt flats heading to waterfall finds small semi-aquatic bipeds in the pool 

  • - Climbs to plateau finds grass lands, finds large quadruped, and decides to move with herd.

  • - Do not go into the volcano there is a big insect in there. 

  • - I am at the top and see a large creature in the distance making huge tracks in the salt flats. 

 

 

Entry 1 explains what has led to this situation, The Events of The Endeavors last days as well as the landing and naming of the planets. 

 

  • +Drawing of the endeavor 

  • +View outside escape pod 

  • +Escape pod plans 

 

Entry 2 is an equipment list; explanation of the planet as can be seen. A picture of the Salt flats, planning to head towards the waterfall.

  • +Creature Bipedal Semi-aquatic 

  • +Waterfall pool 

 

Entry 4 after spending a few days enjoying the work William does, and finally fixing N.E.D. A plan is put in motion to 

 

  • +Plans for NED 

  • +Ned Renders 

  • +Vine Drawings  

 

Entry 5 at the top of the waterfall is a herd of large rhino like quadruped. From this position William can see the river that heads towards a volcano where he decides he needs to plant the rescue become so it will be able to reach his fleet if he is not too deep into unknown space. 

 

  • +Rhino Quad Designs 

  • +Environment drawing  

 

Entry 6 As William made his way along the river, he saw creatures standing up in the water. He did not realise the length of these creatures' legs and as such nearly drowned trying to cross the river himself. The tall quadrupeds are evolved similarly to giraffes but use water to hide from predators. 

 

  • +River and Plant drawing 

  • +Tall Quad drawings 

  • +Rest area drawing and plant close look 

 

Entry 7 After finding some rest in the shade of one of the large trees that follow the river William awoke to large crashing sounds as kangaroo sized bipeds crashed into the tree’s causing them to leak fluids which is edible. Following their movements brought me to the oasis. 

 

  • +Biped Designs 

  • +Oasis Environment designs Day and evening 

 

Entry 8 The oasis is attacked by a competing evolutionary chain looking worm origins. The Skin covered Eyeless quad. Chased off most animals and drove William into the Rocky Mountains 

 

  • +Worm Quad 

  • +Volcano and hill drawing 

 

Entry 9 similarly to the eyeless quad a large ape like creature resides in the soot of the volcano, a dumb creature that is very primal. 

 

  • +Large ape design in environment 

 

Entry 10 further up the mountain William encounters 3 bone creatures all similarly looking but each unique. He only gets pictures of their heads. He heads into the mouth of the volcano. 

 

  • +3 creature busts 

 

Entry 11 The Volcano has a large insect in in now nicknamed mother for the scariest thing know to him. The volcano got him to a high enough point to set up the beacon and has amazing scenery. 

 

  • +Insect Creature 

  • +Beacon overlooking environment 

 

Entry 12 Again William was woken up to a large rumble sound, instead he awoke to the sound of a large titan sized create walking in the space beyond the flats. Its immense size creating lanes in the flats beyond the volcano. 

 

  • +Beacon overlook with tall creature 

  • +Tall creature sketch.

Major Editing

  Major Editing The process of editing the clips together was simple, as the timing wasn't overly important for comedic or dramatic purposes. The editing was a chance to push the found footage aesthetic while organising them in some sort of order, overall the visual and audios where finalised and set up ready to be presented.

Major Creature 9 Reflection

  Major Creature 9 Reflection Reflection: Working on Creature 9 was the fastest and easiest creature to make. After many attempts of trial an improvement, I have ended with a pipeline for the creation that doesn't run into any problems. Even so this creature was the easiest as I didn't need to add extra details to me normal maps through Zbrush because of the distance and setting of seeing this creature.  After 4 successful creature rigs I am know confident in my ability to create characters and creatures for 3D. This is a subject I was unsure about for a long time and as such approached with apprehension and respect to the difficulty. I Think this was a good thing in the end as my research of detailed approach to the process made me gaining confidence a slow and steady process ending with confidence in my ability.

Film Review :- The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Film Review :- The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari The cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a silent film release om 1919, directed by Robert Wiene, influenced by the German expressionism movement  as well as other modern ideas of the time. The movie is about the story one man tells another on a bench, the story is about how the Dr. Caligari uses a somnambulist named Cesare to kill people. The movie is set in a physiological fantasy scape, In sets that use visual tricks and great design to aid the story. While watching the movie I noticed how a lot of the sets where very similar to play theatre sets, many using painted backgrounds with wooden constructed sets in-front of it, with lots of steps and ladders into the set as well as paths in and out of the screen sides. Its sets change and warp throughout the movie helping to tell the narrative, that  " lay down a template for today's scary movies, noirs and psychological thrillers."  (Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian) This being how the story...
