Major: Sky Textures Test

I've been thinking about the style of the background for the animation. I havn't had many ideas as to what it should look like but I know that it should fit around the stage that the characters stand on.

Background Test 1
The first background test is acting as the place holder while I animate the characters. It was also the first ideas that I had about what the background could look like, following along the lines of it looking painted like the characters.

Background Test 2
The second design is based off of the first idea but I wanted to try out a different patten style. I'm not too fond of this one as I feel that it looks too much like the night sky with stars which shouldn't make sense in my story.

Background Test 3
I did get some feedback after I post some renders that showed the place holder background I was given the idea of useing shapes, as this would relate back to the shapes used to build up the characters. This could be where I go with the background design but I also feel that there is something else I could do.

Background Test 4
I've also had the idea that the background should represent the day and night that would be created by the Sun and Moon.

Any feedback is welcomed.

    I think the Day and Night thing would work, but your clouds would need to be more like everything else in your world - like shapes, as opposed to fluffy painterly clouds - perhaps the answer lies between idea 2 and 3?

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.
