This week George wanted us to create storyboards for 3 stories and present them.
Story 1: Can
My first story is about recycling, littering and marine pollution. It starts off with two soda cans in a store falling in love but one being brought by a customer and taken away, ultimately being separated from each other.
In the next scene the can is shown littered on the beach and washed up into the ocean. From there we follow the can on a journey in the sea and washed back on to the shore where it is then made into a home by a hermit crab. Then it is finally is recycled and repurposed into a can again, where it is put back in the store again and reunited with the other can. At the end I want to have the phrase, Reunite, Reuse, Recycle, as a play on Reduce, Reuses, Recycle.
I’m looking forward to doing some of the modelling for this project. I’d really like to model the Can and other things that I will use for litter such as bottles. I’d really like to tackle the environment modelling too. I’m looking forward to learning UV unwrapping and texturing.
Story 2: Bird dance
My next story was about a bird being propositioned by several potential suiters though elaborate dancing. The bird turns down the first two and by the time its the third birds turn, it does a very elaborate dance and is the most flamboyant. It wins over the affection of the bird.
This story I think will be something I’d like to create for December as it is a lot more complicated. I think it would be a great opportunity for me to look into modelling with ZBrush and experimenting with the dancing animation.
Story 3: Notting hill Carnival 2123
My last story is about Notting Hill Carnival and how it would look in 100 years time. I love this idea as carnival is a part of my culture (my family are from Jamaica and St Vincent:)) and I love the idea of incorporating science fiction into it. It would give me the opportunity to experiment with environment modelling, texturing, lighting and rendering. Along with the crowds and the intense character animation it might be a personal project that I complete in the future.
