Silhouette concepts - arm mutation

Story outline:
My story for this short composition plays with the idea that the ubiquitous use of electricity in the early part of the 20th Century, had unusual side effects on the people who lived close to it regularly. The side effect I wanted to focus on was mutation, and in particular, just one limb, as this would allow me to also concentrate on the matchmoving process and also the over all look/style of the piece.

Week 1: pre production / concept
This week was slow going for concepts as Ive not only been sketching out ideas for the the CG arm, but chasing lighting (unsuccessfully), working out storyboards (to be posted), and the costume for the live action character.

CG Tool Kit - No. 3

This blog will catalog assignment 3 of CG Tool Kit / semester 2

For the final assignment, my idea for the composition of CG with live footage will look as using contemporary methods to reproduce early 20th century style film.



Whether the final work will be black and white or reproduction of early colour, isn't finalised yet, although the idea of early colour is an interesting direction to go in as it will add more complexity to the process colour grading. (early colour shot - Albert Kahn collection)
