drawings and boards. Adding a scene with a ray of light energizing the grid (sort of like tron).

week 3 critique

2 things that are missing: 1. gird 2. regularity

(not very obvious on the frames)

- Everything lines up. Keep the camera moving among the grid.

- Can move left to right along a vanishing point.

- Think about four directions: left, right, up, down

- Think of: Cause & Effect. (Solar energy has the power to transform the world.)

- Solar -> grid -> transformation of the world

- Energy is what driving its transformation of the grid. When the energy lightens up the grid, it forms the world/city.

For next week:

- Revise the storyboard.

- Think out every single shot in pencil sketches. Be very consistent and upfront.

- Experiment GRID in cinema 4D. Have a camera travel among it from diff. angles and see how it looks.

"GRID POWER"

Scene 1-establishing shot- as morning rises with muted dark blues we notice a grid of solar panel in the distance. As we begin to rapidly approach the solar panel grid an energy force is revealed, it surrounds the entire grid and is the driving force for the naturalistic environment that begins to form.

Scene 2- Medium shot- as we are brought into the grid it begins to move in a wave like pattern, forming mountains and trees. We can see light rays and energy molecules falling upon the environment causing the elements to appear.

Scene 3- Close up- the camera is close up on an abstract geometric shape building up as the shape continues to take form we realize they are trees growing. As more trees grow the camera pulls back revealing what looks to be a forest with a silhouetted skyline building up in the distance.

Scene 4- Wide shot- as the buildings appear from the ground begins to take on a different form. We notice the buildings are being constructed from smaller cubed shapes resembling the "Grid Power". We are now immersed in a city surrounded by cubed buildings.

Scene 5- we begin to follow a wave of energy that is guiding us through the city. As the energy wave travels by certain elements we notice them begin to function and light up with a glow.

Scene 6- as we are traveling through the city the sun starts to set. The camera then travels away from the Grid Power and we see the whole city is being lit by the solar energy.

City concept

Some quick concept models that i did. Let me know what you guys think

Stuff to think about

Here's a little exploration I did for the concept of our tree. I remember seeing Tony doing a drawing of it.

I think we should all spend some time thinking about the concepts for all the important elements:

Trees, mountains, cityscape, details of the buildings, music, etc.

Please upload anything.

pics, drawings, models. it's all good.

Story overview

1. far view of the solar panel, mountains forming. (Sun Rise) sees energy flowing like IBM baby

2. zoom in on the panel sees energy forming the land. maybe some energy molecules also.

3. grid form begin to move in sort of like a wave. nature evolving ( mountains & trees) 6 secs

4. trees popping out like origami

5. a couple building black popping out from the ground.

6. and the breaking into little cube thing that kinda resembles the grid

7. a train passes by and guides the camera

8. train taking us around the city. we see the entire city formed.

9. begin to zoom out as the sunsets

10. zoom out seeing the whole city and the entire world. as the scene turns into night. we see that the lights of the city is still on and it's still operating.

Let's keep exploring the music.

upload cool references if you see any!

hey guys
