Entry 7 - Visual Attempt


Here is a side by side comparison of my attempt at the visual aspect of the project. As you can see there in no one in the actual shot. As there was no model free at the time, this was merely a test at an illustration without a model. It was notably difficult to illustrate a character without any form of reference and when there was the lighting could not match as such a lesson was learned regarding this project, a model was necessary for this project.

Entry 6 - Attempts at sound

Time has not been in my favor as of late, as such the photography has been set on hold.

In the meantime, attempts at the audio aspect have been made. Beginning with Audiosauna. Audiosauna while nothing was truly produced was very intuitive with its audio capabilities, but going through the entire list of options, nothing really suited the idea I had in mind for the audio.

Immediately after that was the use of FL Studio. FL Studio filled with all so many possibilities had a learning curve issue and as such took some time to get used to, or still getting used to, to be honest. But it does seem to have what I am looking for in the audio aspect. Jass like tunes seem to be possible in this program.

Entry 5 - Visions and Wonder

The concept of visions and wonder is filled with infinite possibilities, with the selected idea in mind, it  was clearer that the theme of visions and wonder would fall on the concept of everyday life. The idea of everyday life, as seen like so would feel rather dull, but seen from a different perspective it can become interesting.

The images would be of natural scenes taken from a camera, illustrated over to show a different feel or emotion while the audio would act similarly to a game where it would be something like background music.

For this the process in which the story would take place will fall on the concept of time, starting from the morning and either ending at night or by the next morning, similar to a repeated cycle. The idea is to take a specific shot at a specific time and illustrating it to have a the feeling of the time it was taken, for example a shot at sundown would be more orange or a shot a night would use colors like purple or blue.

Entry 4 - Ideas

With more time given a variety of ideas came to mind in my attempt to create my works.

A variety of options were presented.

A orchestral group, an image showing various musicians holding onto different instruments as the camera pans. The audio for this piece would increase per the specific musician. For example a my audio which may have  a piano will increase in volume as you pan closer to the pianist.

A game, this would fall more to the audio as the visuals would look like screenshots to a game.

Photography mix with illustration. Taking shots in the most natural environment in order to get the natural lighting from my artist. Once the photographs have been taken, it will then be illustrated over.
