DSDN101 Development

Story Board Development

A rough draft of my brainstorm. This was made to help me with making my stop motion. I kept looking at it for reference as I made the claymation.

A screen shot of my work. I used this tutorial here: http://www.5min.com/Video/Photoshop---Turning-a-Photo-into-a-Cartoon-P1-19944616 to learn how to convert my photographs into a cartoon like style to create my story board. I just used this as a basic guide though, as I adjusted the layers, levels, blacks and other adjustments custom to how I wanted the result. I then coloured the frames in Photoshop CS5. I stuck to the three colours: Black, white and purple to portray the films real aesthetics. 

Beginning with one of my photographs - 

And turning it into an image such as this to use for my story board. These are the rest of the frames which I will then layout into my story board.

The Film Development

Frames for my Film.

Creating the development of Pacman - Did over 40 frames, made on Photoshop CS5. I then printed them as thumb nails and put them onto the clay computer monitor for each frame. This shows the character "coding" and developing Pacman, deciding on his shape.

I then took a template of the Pacman game. I added in Pacman and the dots and made each frame on Photoshop CS5. I then printed these as thumbnails and stuck them onto the television screen. I changed the picture each frame as the character played the console.

Precedents

My precedent images are all related through spiral forms and bone shape. The bone structure of the seahorse and spiral tail has inspired me. I want to use this to create a circular form.

Development

Skecthing ideas.

Creating models.

Solidworks, making the basic seahorse structure.

Renders.

Final Model.

Developing a story - giving context. Inspired by the idea of evolution - the starting point of my model (the basic seahorse shape) and the way in which it's evolved into my 3d printed model.
