I've also added the backgrounds. I decided to model and texture the street as opposed to using matte paintings. I did another pass with the same camera movements and have composited it together. I will use the street models for the next scenes too.
I'm tackling each scene chronologically and have a good work flow going so expect another update soon....
Hey Paul :)
ReplyDeleteNice voice over performance and you've obviously been working your fingers to the bone - but there's something oddly sparse about your bedroom; I know it's more work, but wouldn't there be a picture or two on the walls, something to break up that wallpaper; also, wouldn't there be two bedside tables, lights, a clock, a book, some slippers on the floor. The point is that, right now, your bedroom is a 'cg' space - not a credible 'period' space. The muted tones etc. do signal the time period nicely, but I think you should seek to work closely with Alan to nuance your lighting, because it just feels it needs to get punchier and more art-directed. For me, it's the 'lack' of real world detail that is working against the warmth, nostalgia and sadness of your work. I just don't think that empty, picture-less, 'thingless' room is credible yet - it needs some bits of business to sell it as 'human'.

Hi Phil, thanks for your feedback. I didn't include any other geometry because my dad said they were quite poor at the time. When I asked him what WOULD have been in my grandad's room he said a bed and a wardrobe. I do agree it needs something else, I like the idea of slippers and a bedside cabinet. It shouldn't take too long to make these amendments as I have saved each pass separately.
