Maya: Game Modelling: Head Part 1-3

Transcription: Final idea. Real starting point

I've wasted two weeks too much on ideas and planning stage. Need to pick something and get started.

Final idea and one that I'm going to go ahead with is as follows:

Transcription - Painting to 3d Environment for Film
Expanding the Tower of Babel idea to a Babylon City Landscape

3 Specific Landmarks within this Environment
Tower of Babel / The Ishtar Gate / The Hanging Gardens

Environment Stylisation Influence
Bringing into a Alternate Universe, Future Utopian era. Still rooted into it's Arabic structure to an extent

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Future Utopia Influence - using same influences that was in Narrative for Environment
Using influences of Blade Runner (1982), Metropolis (1927), Deus Ex Human Revolution (2011). In addition to, Akira (1988), Matrix (1996) and Minority Report (2002),


To root Babylon's heritage - Using influences of Arkkadian, Iraqi, and Arab decent.

Babylon is Akkadian city-state of ancient Mesopotamia within Iraq

Transcription: Idea Two - Music to Music Video

Just to throw a bit of variety into the mix, this idea stems from the last few days of thought.

Idea Two:
Music to Music Video
A choreograph of a dance, music video, creating a character and stage, and animating that character performing to the song.
Inspirations:
Gorillaz-On Melancholy Hill @ 1:30
Michael Jackson - Beat it @(3:24)



---------------------------------------------------------------------

After talking to Alan today, the reason this idea was stemed was due to my lack of inspiration or will to push forward with the alternate future Tower of Babel idea. it's too uninteresting to work on for a full ten weeks.

I was given a few options towards how to approach transcribing 'Music to Music Video'. For example- A full blown music video, an animated short, a parody. As well as examples of the character, dancing houses, a demonstration like Napoleon Dynamite, a cockroach version of Michael Jackson. a character vibing with another character - a la Tom & Jerry:







or Daffy Duck and Donald Duck






This would involve modelling and rigging one or possibly two characters, as well as creating an environment-black screen or a full blown street.

I would need to also consider that I can only use a segment if I add it to my demo reel, as the music will most likely be copyrighted.
