Guillotine Model so far on maya

looking good so far for the first small movie. Just need to add top and blade, and then the main thing for the scene is done muahah.

also i will add a hill in the background maybe some boxes and a basket but it will be simple. and i have moom ready aswell for animateing.

next up will be my progress timetable. so all the dates that i will work towards

Guillotine Research

here is some research to help me model my guillotine, im going to do something simple like the ones above but something that looks epic and scary

sky test

this is my first sky test done today. its to fast but i can slow it down easily. also the colour and style might be alot differnt to the final one. i might make the sky a dark grim red colour to make it more in the theme of the london dungeon

My areas of intrest & the Idea!

The areas of intrest that i have chosen for this project are as follows:

a) Character Animation
b) visualisation (texturing and rendering) MAIN FOCUS
c) visualisation (and modelling) MAIN FOCUS

THE IDEA:

I have 3 main focus points that i wish for my project to achieve

1. Make it fun: i dont want my shorts to be so gory and upsetting, i want them to have some comedy to them.

2. keep it simple: My sets will be simple but to the point so everyone understands whats going on.

3. Brand Awareness: I need to make sure that on every short that i make you see the london dungeon logo at the end or in the entire duration of the clip, so that people understand its for the london dungeon. ALSO make the shorts educative to people who dont know much about torture devices and the types of tortures that people didnt know about

The theme of my short clips will be based on torture, so for example the french giloteen. ( sorry cant spell it lol) and i will use the moom rig which was taken from highend3d.com to animate with. so far i have 4 ideas for the films just need 2 more ideas.

1. french giloteen
2. vlad the impaler spikes
3. hostle style chair torture.
4. spiked coffin
5. maybe the hang
6. maybe the rack or being bricked up alive.

also from the last project that i did, i will be re using some of the props such as the hostel chair, table and maybe the saw and axe, but i must get permission from stewart first. the style of the shorts might be cell shader or just full on textureing im not sure yet. there are a few tests in maya that i would like to try such as moving sky.

A few grim pictures from the London Dungeon.

The Brief??

ok my brief is to make 6 short animated indents for the london dungeon, instead of the original breif which was on the national gallery. The short films will have to reinforce the identity which is the london dungeon.

i will have to do a storyboard and research the london dungeon.

if anything gets changed i will edit this post.

The London Dungeon

Well hopefully The London Dungeon can be my theme for the Project. if not i have other back up ideas. But lets just wait until next week to see if the tutors give me the go ahead.

new year.....

well its been a nice xmas break but its back to work at college. A new project has been set and my mind is now focused on that.

more to come soon
