Workshop 7

Working into the 7th week of the modules and a week before the deadline, we haven’t started the artefact on computer. We have all the drawings and storyboard ready to start the film. I did the leg and body movement of the tiger on paper so it’s easy for the animators. During the workshop our group just discussed the idea of the tiger jumping into water thinking it’s another tiger. We came to know that it will be hard to start off with Maya then flash and then back to Maya. The modelling of tiger seemed impossible within the time we are left with. During this session we all came up with different stories and various problems with every story. Some of the ideas are as follow:
1.Show the tiger sleeping take camera into the eyes of tiger, tiger walking and jump into water.
2.Tiger on mountain, jump into water
3.Cartoon tiger with abstract environment
4.Tiger walking in abstract environment hits into glass reflection
5.Tiger in a city hits into Mac shop entrance as Mac shop only have glass front
6.Everything in jpegs. Rotate the pictures to turn into movie.
7.Tiger that walks into different median of glass, the reflection of the tiger will be shown like deformed shadow. Every after a few seconds of tiger’s walk the median of glass will change so will the deformed shadow.
8.Tiger in a circle of glass. Every segment of glass will show different types of distortion of shadow.
9.A tiger that just bumps into glass while wondering round in the city.

The idea of abstract came from darwinia. http://www.introversion.co.uk/darwinia/


To create an abstract environment will take less time and effort. Our final idea is between no.7 and 9.
Because we haven’t got enough time left so all of my group members will be meeting on the start of next week to finish the assignment.
