Premise: Moon Design Redo

This is a re-design of Moon after I had got some feed back about the overall design. There are some elements that I'm not happy with, such as the crown and hands, but I do plan to go back and change them.

    can you try something new with the 'tail' - think of her as having legs in there covered by a long floating trail - for example, if you imagine the dress is essentially a long cone with a scalloped bottom edge...

    I think you need to think even bigger in terms of exaggeration and attenuation of her shape - I also think you should make those crescent moons bigger - create a series of iterations of this same character in which you REALLY push the exaggeration - so a version with HUGE crescent moons and then a version with smaller, but still BIG crescent moons - and a version where you put a massive long/wide cone dress on the bottom of her - think more theatrically - for example, imagine that her skirt is like this lovely big cone that is illuminated within by swirling moving shapes like one of these...

    and maybe considering giving her long 'evening gloves' instead to enhance her sophistication?

      Hi Rhia

      going on what Phil said, check out this beautiful music video by an Estonian artist named Kerli, notice the dress - how it glows and pulsates and the way that the hair is bulbous like a flower about to bloom, Kerli has always been inspiring at conceptualising the meaning behind her lyrics through her visuals (which she directs and makes all the costumes for) - it might inspire something in your designs, you should watch the making of her music videos too :)

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.
