Title Credits: Rush Image Tests

After I had worked out the different stages of the opening for the film Rush I sat about creating some images for the different points and to also try out the style that I hope to use for the animation, similar to using a storybroad.

Image 1
Image 1 - The arrows are meant to be James Hunt and Niki Lauda when they are racing each other in their early years when their rivalry started.
Image 2
Image 2 - This is one of two images that is meant to shown to Hunt winning against Lauda.
Image 3
Image 3 - This is the second image of the two and shows Lauda winning against Hunt.
Image 4
Image 4 - The next image shows the logos, at the time of the 1970s, of the two teams that Hunt and Lauda raced for in F1. On the left is the logo for McLaren which was the team Hunt raced for and on the right is the logo for Ferrari which was the team that Lauda raced for.
Image 5
Image 5 - This image is meant to be the rain before the 1976 German Grand Prix.
Image 6
Image 6 - Another image of Hunt and Lauda racing each other.
Image 7
Image 7 - For this image I wanted to show Lauda's crash. For this I used a loop to show that he has crashed and spun around before his car burst into flames. Here, however, I have made the arrow brake into a number of pieces.
Image 8
Image 8 - The part will show Hunt's arrow (on the top) racing along as normal with Lauda's arrow (on the bottom) moving along slower before picking up speed after Hunt's arrow has left the screen. This is meant to show Lauda winning in F1 while Lauda recovers from the crash. Lauda's arrow is still broken but the pieces have been put back together.
Image 9
Image 9 - The last shot will show the two arrows on the start line again as Lauda has come back to racing in F1 after his crash.

While I was making theses I started to think about the colours that I would be useing for the titles. I picked and red and white as theses were the colours of the cars that Hunt and Lauda were driving at the time. I also picked out some of the colours in the film so that it fitted in with the colours that appeared at that time period.

Film Review - 2001: A Space Odyssey

Image
Fig 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey Poster (1968) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is one of the many classics brought to life by Stanley Kubrick. The film stands out in the world of cinema nowadays for the way it was produced but at the time of its release it didn’t receive that many good reviews from the critics, however, it inspired future film makers such as Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott. Like with most of his films Kubrick frames or centres most of the shots using the rule of thirds a technique that he learned from his days as a photojournalist for Look magazine. As shown in Fig 2 the rule of thirds involves placing a 3x3 grid over the image and lining up the key subjects within it so that everything is not cluttered on one side, in Kubrick’s case he places key subjects in the middle of the grid with other subjects on both sides of it so that the audience’s eye is drawn to what is being shown in the middle. As show in the example Dave Bowman and Frank Poole are on ever

Film Review: Kung Fu Panda - Act Structure

Image
Kung Fu Panda (2008) directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne can be broken down in to the different acts that take place. Sometimes it can be broken down in to a 3 act stuctre or a 5 act stuctre but ever way they both have the same points that happen in the story that introduct the characters, show us what problems they have to face that lead up to the big cilmax before everything is goes back to the way that it was at the begining. Below is how I have broken down Kung Fu Panda using the 5 act stuctre along with working out the plot and ending type of the film. The 5 Act Stuctre shown with Freytag's Pyramid The plot of the film is similar to a Arc Plot. Po changes as the story goes on and the characters around him also change. This means that when one thing happens it will affect what happens next or start the next sturcture. I see the ending of Kung Fu Panda as being a Partial Ending as the story has ended but we get the feeling that this is not the end of Po and

@Simon - Mesh Mishap

I can't unfold the mesh. :( I've done everything in the video but for some reason this won't work. The error at the bottom says: "Mesh has non-manifold edges. Clean up the mesh before using unfold." and I don't understand what it means.
