I wanted to gather loads references for the previs. I started with the corner shop. I wanted it to look like a typical corner shop in the UK but I wanted like a Mediterranean twist with the colours and cobble stones.
I basically wanted a smash up of several different cultures like in Big Hero Six where it is based Sanfrantokyo.
The look of the corner shop is super important to me as it will be the establishing shot and the ending shot. It will be where the cans first meet. I want it to have a bit of a rough look so that when the love story starts there is a bit of juxtaposition.
From theses images I was able to create several art boards. I gathered many images, these are just some have I was collated, however, I knew that the running themes were,
- colourful
- run down
- Quintessentially British
- tired
- cobble stones
- plaster pealing
Once I gathered all my references I used them to make a basic model in Maya. I will be redoing it for the actual final major project. But I like actual set up I quite like. I would like to replicate the fridge’s position in the shot. I like how it is visible in the window.
I have learnt alot more about modelling as well and feel like I am learning more techniques and becoming more efficient when I do model.
