In this week I have double checked the development of my chosen story ‘Pocket Fantasy’, and here is my upgraded version for finishing the whole 3D previs in Maya. I have been given feedback of focusing on the interaction between the two main character, and how they have been balanced through the performance:
Meanwhile, due to the opening scene is a park, I have been given advice of looking at the videos below to find inspiration and reference:
In the second video of understanding basic types of shots, the male is also waiting for someone in the park. Hence, I have added similar types of shots into my creation as shown in the below:
The extreme long shot allows me to expose the whole set to my audiences, and the medium close up is good of showing my character’s action in the screen, the long shot dennotate the costume of what my character is wearing.
Due to we have been asked to do a sheet of introducing our characters in the story, here is my creation of the couple and how the love story has been triggered by their underwear:
Due to I have to finish the previs this week, I have built up a mind board for the set design:
It contains a few primary pictures I have taken in the Elephant park and the Walworth park, which give me a clear direction of what can be added to the park scene:
I used the basic tools such as simple geometries and deformers to structure the shape of green and the tree branches, giving them basic colours through assigning different Ai standard surface material:
Also, I have done a shot list to see which shot will be transferred into the female character’s brain:
In the mind scene, I have mainly inspired by the inner structure of the male’s pocket wand what could be put inside:
And eventually here is my complete previs from this week:
I used Premiere Pro to edit several play blasts together and to see the result:
