I wanted to try a different way to explain my idea and the complications I met, so I tried to do two video logs, and as much as i liked using the technique to get my point across, i found that i criticised myself and ended up deleting the video.
In this video, I talk about what my idea is and how i came up with the idea.
In this video, i talked about the problems I faced during the third week and how I got through it.
As i carried on the project, i was starting to worry with the amount of time i had left and what i need to do; but no matter the time i spent planning and creating to do lists, my head began to spin. At first i was going to have an animated character that would interact with the products that i had modelled, but i didn’t have extra time to create these characters, which would leave a gapping hole in my finished piece. However with more thought and consideration, i created a new idea that should help solve my problem; like i did in my James Bond project, I will record a volunteer to act the necessary actions that go along with my new storyboard, and after i upload them to After-Effects i will turn the person into a silhouette/ holograms and add everything else i’ve created with maya. Another idea that i had to change, was the idea of an old fashioned theme with steam punk; as much as i loved this style, it wouldn’t work with the new plan, however to keep a hint of my old idea, i added different music style of genre called Electro swing, which is a mixture of old soul and club music; though some are too loud and repetitive, i found certain song called chambermaid by Parov Stelar. The intro is unreasonably long, so i trimmed it down to around 2 minutes which is perfect for my advert. My advert will still be based on the idea of Bioshock, but instead of 1900, the style will change to the 21st century. I’ve also had to change the different programmes i was going to use, originally i was going to use maya, flash, photoshop and after effects. As you can see i overloaded myself with these goals, but because i had to change my idea, i’m going to use maya to model my products like before, and after effects to put everything together with a little bit of special effects. I am disappointed that i could go through with my original idea, but hopeful my change of plans will be just as good as i originally hoped.
