Not really new... new to you. I made/used this to help conceptualize and produce the maya project.

Digital Arts Project 3


I go into detail my reasons for choosing digital arts as my major, on the sheet itself. But long story short I'm fascinated with the possibilities that Render, animation and modeling hold. And I want this to be my main medium of exploration mainly because the diverse opportunities the field holds. So I want the full foundational experience with maya, so I thought what held geometric aspects that would be easy for a complete newcomer to the field to emulate while still retaining a resemblance to organic shape and structure? LEGO PEOPLE! So I'm going to setup up a scene that centers on lego people for my rendering project.

Ideas for homemade edited video

A few days ago I was forced to watch a training video at my work. And thus spawned the idea of make an instructional video for the mundane. I'm not going to bring in some heavy conceptual idea to this. The video will purely be for the comical effect of heavy explanation on a completely simple and useless topic. I have yet to get the topic of my instructional video, but I'm fairly sure by Monday I will have a storyboard in process or done detailing how the video will be shot and script.

Explanation of Photoshop piece

The 5 images I submitted for the photoshop project are the panals from the first page of the prologue of my comic. Seeing how I am creating a narrative, that is comical in nature, but has an underlying message about the american society and our pointless titles that we give each other, all inside what I hope is a entirely unqiue visual style all my own. So I wanted to establish the exbisition of my world that the storty is going to be told in, So thats why I started the first panal with a grand sweeping view of the narrative's solar system, and gradual moved in closer throughtout the 5 panals until we get to the grass ground where we see my main character's feet and the door of the town that starts him on his isnane quest for cake. All while keepin the sun infocus to keep the scale of where we started and were we ended up from the 5 panals. Also Since the comic started with a grand sweeping view I wanted a wide panal. and since we got closer the scale got smaller the panals themeselves got smaller to help carry the fact that we are getting closer to our target dot that you can see in each panal.

Digital Arts 24 Refference Images




I created 24 images, to help me brainstorm possible storyline, characters, and places for my characters to interact with to create an interesting comic, that is both stylistic and funny.
