Lifting Tower Bried pt3

After testing some ideas and making some initial animations we were asked to have a feedback session. Basically all of the groups came together and showed what they had, it was very close to the deadline so it was expected that at this point we had some finalised stuff. Most of the animations I saw were really cool. Mike gave us some really good feedback as well. The feedback I got was to maybe change the transition scene into a Leeds skyline instead of a forest. Mike really liked the snow idea so he suggested to take the same animation but change the attribute into candy canes or something like that and book I'd have a few more animations. He also like the triangle/ xmas tree test and asked to extend the animation on the swinging triangles. We did not have much time to fix everything, so I managed to  make some more snowing stuff animations, I made an additional one as well where I played with snowflake shapes I also fixed the xmas tree/triangles thing like Mike asked-

Lifting Tower Brief pt.2

This is the lifting tower we had to create projections for. We had to take into consideration the building, its texture, the audience and the theme which was christmas.
After all of our workload sorted I just wen on doing tests and playing around with ideas. We were told to use simple shapes and bald colours, so I just played around with those ideas-

So in this one I played around with the idea of a christmas tree and then try to play around with the visuals and see what comes out of it. You can see the marks for the window and the anchor point for the triangles because (again) it was a test. Another thing I did, was some snow. My team wanted to make it a bit more original so they asked me to make the snow flakes triangular.

I also made a quick test of transitions, as it could transition the scenes one from another-

Lifting Tower Brief pt1

Recently we were offered to take part in a paid brief. I jumped at the chance because it kills two birds with one stone- experience and a bonus on PPP. We were briefed on the project and basically we a month to get it done we would work in groups and we would have to create christmasy projections for the lifting tower. It was really exciting because we had an opportunity to work with people from other courses and for me it was interesting to do projection mapping for the first time. The idea was to create tasteful projections because the location of the display would be in a business part of city centre but nothing that children could watch. Also ideally it would compliment the building it would be display on. We were also instructed about the colours, it was recommended to work on dark backgrounds, contrasting bright colours because the projection usually washes down the colours so you cant really see tones or shades. Also it would be a brick building so we need to consider the texture , if the designs are too thin it might distort the image. I was grouped up a bit later on so my group already had an idea they work working around. I felt a bit useless teamwork wise when we were brainstorming because I could bring any ideas to the table, the idea was to play around with some characters like a yeti, penguins, snow  and stuff like that. We ended up deciding on who is responsible for what, so the illustrator dude was responsible for the all of the designs and attributes and the rest of us were responsible for animating. I took up doing fillers, basically transitions between animations, and Lauren and Emma did the main animations.
