3D Project

I believe it is to safe to say that our group had a great selection of genres to explore within this project. Gangster, Samurai, and Western are three themes that more everyone is familiar with.When exploring ideas off setting and locations we wanted embody places that will well represent each theme presented.

With the Gangster theme we knew we needed something that was ultimately dark and gritty. I pictured a grimy alleyway where a smooth criminal lurked waited for his prey. In this case we made our gangster post up in a alleyway waiting to sell drugs. Here is an example of the tone we were seeking to recreate:

In our 3D project we evoked the darkness seen in the picture. We also try to motif the style and era, making in contrasty and gritty.

With the Samurai aspect of our project we knew that we need a scenic area of sorts. We brainstormed about what makes of a Samurai movie we all thought of the great landscapes. We knew that the trees, mountains, etc, provide for a rich and lush perspective and provides a backdrop full of depth. In this example you can see the vastness Samurai cinema put their characters in nature:

In our 3D project we dabble with simliar framing and used our surroundings to create a sense of depth and nature within the environment and trees.

When people think of Westerns automatically the idea of guns, fires, and the cowboy comes to mind. We new that we had to have that cowboy flare when tackling that theme knowing that a sense of style, confidence, and a badass should emerge from that character. With the example shown a true sense of a western cowboy can be seen:

When executing our 3d project we tried to create a sort of area that showed the cowboys den. We tried to create depth within our frame with a fire place and chair separating our character.

All in all the 3d exercise was a great experience and I can not wait to take it into post and further explore and manipulate what we have captured.
