Daryl's Concept work-ideas










Daryl gave me two ideas he had for the rooms in the set. on is the chill out Denist room and the other is a Scienist room. I took his two pictures and made changes and adding more objects to make the room look more like a Denist/science room.



The above I found on you tube are clips from the show Home Improvement and Suit Life goes Hollywood. I found these clips because I thought that the scene could help me with creating a studio set for Daryl's work.

Colour Guild-(Forest)

Below is the colour chart that has most colours that will be used:








These will be the main colours for my section of the environment designs:


When finding a colour chart to work from, I found that in the group environment colour scheme, that we will be using so many different colours, mainly blue, brown and green because of the project is a nature environment and they will be the main colours but also for the plants, mushrooms, foadstools, spider webs and other enchanted aspects that will come later in the environment development. Then there will be a verity of bright colours including reds, orange, yellow, purple and pink.

Concept drawings






Researching For Sal's Project

Mood boards on my research that connects with the designs that Sal is looking for in his project: these are images from Tale of How, The Secret of Nimh, Furngully Pan's Labyrinth, Labyrinth and images from enchanted forests, trees, colour charts and flower ideas:




When thinking of what type of enchanted forest to do, I begun reasearching into dark, enchanted, fairytale woods and forests that could work with Sal's ideas. I then went on you tube and looked at trailors for Pan's Labyrinth, Labyrinth and farngully which produced great work that I could use in my own concept art:
















Two Colours/Two Different groups

during the week I have gone to my other groups and have foound that they don't need my help until next term when the production side is about to start so I have been doing concept art fro my main group which is Sal's Group. So far I am enjoying what we are doing everyone in the group work really well together and we are making some great results.
Anna's Group that are doing the ride have said that they may not have much 3D environment for me to do and that their finding it hard to find something for me to do and on that note I said that for now to worry about the main people in her group and if there is something for me to do then let me know, so because of this I then began to ask around the other groups if they needed a 3D environment designer.

Daryal and I had a conversation on his projected called The Prof, and he said he needed help with his backgrounds. After I saw his idea and met with the people in his group I decided to join Daryal's group and work with Harrion on the main evironment background.So for this term Daryal has asked for me to do some concept work and we will go from their. Since I am in two group I will be using this blog to show both projects by having the writting in two different colours to make it clear that certain work are for certain groups by the colour of the text.

Sal: White
Daryal: Blue

Group's and Ideas

After looking at all the pitches, I want to get into as many groups as possible to have a variety of environments for my show reel.

When I asked my classmates about what their projects entail, the environments they wanted are very similar and I wanted to have loads of different environments to work with. I ended up picking three groups that I could see myself working for to make really good environments designs they are: Sal, Chris and Anna.

I have chosen my main group which is Sal's project because I wanted to have some 2D work as I have not got any 2D work in my show reel. The other two groups have 3D modelling in there projects and I wanted to also to have more 3D work because I am very strong with 3D environments.

Sal sent me an email with the ideas he has for his environments. I then started to design some concept art, which will also help with the development of the storyboards:

Below is the initial outline of what is needed for the environments.
  • Different scenes Hill top + moon and stars
  • Waterfall and river with trees around (water might be created in 3d)
  • Tall trees for sunlight to stream through tree for galuppi to climb, with pigeons nest
  • Tree to peak around
  • Frangipani flower tree
  • Clearing in forest for the courting ritual
  • Two tall trees for the galuppis to leap into montage of deforestation and pollution Forrest shot of dense forest for galuppis to disappear into
  • 2 x environments for galuppis to run through barely being seen,

include water of sorts, think enchanted forest I would like the background to be quite stylised, perhaps ink and watercolour - ref. The Tale of How. This is a good example of how I would like the backgrounds layered. Another good reference is The nightmare Before Christmas although too dark in its colour palette, i quite like the style of the trees. Think about making everything have a dream like quality to them. Try and add lots of little details e.g.toadstools, cobwebs, leaves that can drop to the ground, if everything is created on separate layers then they can be animated in aftereffects. Another good example is the game Little Big Planet. For the skylines digital photography will probably be used.

When Sal gave me the list above I began to look on You Tube For Nightmare Before Christmas and The Tale Of How, both of these films have what Sal is looking. The 2D environment have a mixture of layers to make the 2D environments look 3D or to give it a enchanted dream affect that relates to the poem.
