semester 3 project idea


3 Semester projects
Firstly, I am going to have a different approach to the project. This will entail on building the movement around the environment rather than having the idea of the movement than putting it in the environment. 
In addition to this, I want to have to the end product as a short story which will be on the lines of my inspiration for the project (super 8) NOTE: this will be a short clip which I want to recreate, so parts won't the be the same as the movie but the main actions which the viewer will see will be created from the storyline. Also, I am going to add more the scene which isn’t true to the storyline of the film but doesn’t happen, IE the timeline of the events.

The overall goal for the project
To design and recreate small 15 – 30 seconds clips which will be all be put together to make a small film. Each clip will be a small story snippet from the film, below is the ideas which I’ve chosen.

The Ideas for each clip
Ruff idea of what the storyline that ill be recreating.
·         Car cut scene
·         Arriving at the town
·         Seeing the train crash
·         All metal parts will move the water tower
·         Alien will appear at the water tower
·         the spaceship will fly off into space

The progress from the screenshots to the individual senses
From researching the movie and taking screenshots, I started the progress of splitting up the different images senses which I want to create.

Below is the brief of what will happen
1)      Starting with the car which is travelling into the town. B-roll shots of it moving and the detail of the car. This will be very simple senses but importing for the storyline and setting the senses.
2)      Car getting hit by the train which goes through the town. This will give the first action in the senses as the viewer will be able to see a lot happing. Explosion, train, and carriage flying around.
3)      After the train crash, one of the carriages will start to open, this is when the alien will appear. The player will not see it but will know what it is once they get towards the end, making the viewer think!
4)      Metal parts will start to move and start to head over to the water town, starting from little to bigger pieces of metal. The water tower will be where the alien spaceship will be and will launch from.
5)      The spaceship will launch and head up to space. Size and lights will be key to show the scale of the spaceship.

For all the senses they will be heavily B-Roll shots and will show the detail of the models and the movement in the senses


The movement
In each sense, the viewer will be able to see movement, from the last two projects I had a heavily involved moment which had many changes. For this project, there will be a subtle movement which will be highlighted throughout the video.
There will be general movements like cars, trains, and spaceships. Within this, there will be some key movement which will entail more to the storyline, like license plate falling and spinning in the ground. This is one of the examples and from each clip, there will be one special movement

Texturing

For the texturing I used substance painter, as I said in ‘Ovreveiw of the project and what I struggle with!’ blog. I was having a lot of problems of importing the animation into UE4 which took a lot of time out for my project. Finally, I found the solution to the problems and was working correctly but once I started to add the textures to the meshes another problem started, the modules in ue4 didn’t have the corrector textures allocated to meshes so I had to redo this again. After fixing the problem in Maya with the meshes having the right textures, I had the same issues first time round of importing them in ue4. I could add the mesh and the texture but there was no animation. I ran out of time in the project so I put the working animation as this the target for the project but that’s why the texture are just one strand colour.

The road

The road For the road I researched as I wanted to keep it all in theme, this led me to choose between a busy highway or side county road. As the project was set in outside of the town, I chose to have a county road as there is a lot of carter within them and I will be able to factor that into the end video. Below is the picture that I took inspiration from. From this, I could use for a reference point and be able to mould the road for the environment The telephone lines As the first part was set on the road, I wanted the have more realism in the environment. I started to research what other models I could use as a backdrop and content which I could use for the video     The car and why I chose it.   For the sense and the environment, I decided to have the car as 1974 Dodge Monaco front, this is because it fits the time frame and the location of the environment which is America. Another reason why I picked it was that it’s an ironic car from the film Blue...

Movement Within Film

Within my work, I want to incorporate moving parts. Such as cogs, large wheels, pipes, etc. Industrial mechanical environment features. I want to achieve this so I can create a fully immersive and exciting environment for the player to explore and work within.  I have been looking at films and how the CGI effects can be transferred into movement within a game. 'Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones' involves a scene that depicts a moving conveyor belt with many moving parts of machinery. I want to use these as inspirations because of the repetitive nature, not unlike an n airship the parts move to complete a sequence. This is something that I can utilise in my work.  The scene link is as follows :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzWyLDQvKng&t=1s A screenshot  Add caption
