I've spent the last 4 weeks coming up with ideas and concepts for my 3rd year project and pretty much finished my animatic for showing this Thursday. However, I changed my idea at around 3am this morning...
So now, instead of doing what I said I was going to do, I'm now having a small narrative, pretty much just to aid the flow of my work. I found with my previous idea I wasn't feeling very inspired and something was missing in a way, so I feel much better with this new idea. It hasnot changed entirely. I'm still using the layouts I designed and plan on using the same walk-through. The narrative is based on the idea of the phenomenon of Astral Projection. The guy in the concept below, falls asleep and goes into a projection/his astral body and in his first-person perspective, the audience is taken through a set of environments. It's surreal and very eerie and I want there to be a lot echoey sounds to try and depict a different state of mind. The journey ends when he is pulled back into his body and everything seemingly returns back to normal. Although there's a character, I want this to be about the quality of the environments and not the story.
The current situation with the storyboard is as follows, from left to right...
I changed my idea late last night, so there's quite a lot more needing to be done before the showing of the animatic on Thursday. Plus the storyboard still isn't finished!!!
As I've created a new start to my environment short, I've had to come up with some new concepts...
I'm currently working on the "demonic" scene towards the end. Will post when done, hopefully tomorrow. I will also be posting some concepts for objects to model and I'm also still thinking about whether I should suggest a time period around the 1960s or 1970s to aid the theme I'm going with. The popularity of the Ouija board.
