Class Log 02-09

Today's class was full of great developments for Analogue! We discussed the flowers scattered throughout the city.

Anne gave a rundown on how the flower Bougainvillea would inform our town. It means "paper flower," and it is common in the mediterranean. We decided to use this to name our town Bougainville, and to have flowers everywhere. They come in all sorts of colors, which is perfect for the festive environment.

For characters, we offered feedback to the crew about how the proportions of the main character needed to line up with the background characters. They made some quick modifications mid-class and we approved them. The character crew also showed us some clothing options for background characters, which was exciting!

I shared my modular approach to building structures, and I am planning to keep pushing more ideas forward for smaller pieces of the puzzle.

 


Since I was the one who developed the courtyard, I also did a rough sketch of the overall shot we could use to establish the character in the first scene. I plan to color this and use it to help the digi-scout team develop their textures.




 I also showed my storyboard thumbnails, which generated a lot of great discussion about how our character behaves and what prompts her to step off the main road into the quieter alleyways. We decided to remove the other study abroad student because it made her seem too fearful. Instead, she is going to see how busy the crowds are and take a shortcut. She's quirky, not scared. Some of the conversation this generated was about how varied the camera can be and how crowds can play into the environment as well.
