Chosen Visual FX Idea

 

When I came towards thinking of my idea for what I would like to film and include an 3D object within a real environment. I kept thinking about using an Aircraft land in an unlikely place such as a public park, so I created a storyboard. The idea was relatively simple, but didn't excite me at all...

 

 

So I decided to try again and this time I thought about making a simple game character enter the real world and then I could imagine our Animation/Computer room being ideal to film this in. The first and most simple non deforming game character I could think about was Pacman. This would work well as he could come out of the computer screen and continue to collect the pellets around the room, whilst a ghost chases him. So I worked on a storyboard to develop this idea... Trying to keep it simple, yet as visually interesting as possible.

 

 

 

 

After deciding this to be my chosen idea for my Visual FX piece. I then created an Animatic of the storyboard to display more clearly what I had in mind. I also point out what type of camera shots I will require for each section of the scene.
