@Phil 'What if?' Metropolis - Thumbnails 76 - 90


Here are my 76 to 90 thumbnails that I have created using my updated influence map. Using Phil's feedback I have looked more into how the buildings could be designed more organically. I've also considered what the inhabitants could use to access the higher buildings as well as how the buildings would be able to remain in position.

    You may have seen some of your classmates using simple sets of clean simple silhouettes, and combining them to create more complex structures - I think, given Chilhuly's forms, this might work for you too, because I think it will encourage you to make more 'complex' asymmetrical forms (more truly organic) without breaking the 'simple' quality you need. Can I suggest you create some clean organic forms using the shape tools in Photoshop which mirror your artist's vocabulary of shapes (so petal shapes, spheres, teardrop shapes, ellipses and so on) and then, once you've got an alphabet of these simple forms, start combining them (two shapes at first etc) into new iterations - and then build up from there - I think this will give you some strong forms to work into. If you think about Chilhuly, his more complex forms are collections of simpler elements combined - and I think you could try working in the same way :)

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) - Non-linear storytelling

Figure 1. Movie poster (2004) Non-linear methods: Chronicle (Linear storytelling)  - The film starts off  with a non-linear storytelling method. This is as the audience are unaware as to where they are, who the characters are and what they are doing. The scenes also change suddenly and time shifts backwards and forwards. The story then becomes linear once Joel starts to get his memories of Clementine removed. This is as he is in a dream state trying to stop his memories of her from leaving him.  Figure 2. Joel and Clementine meeting Retrograde (Events in reverse order)  - This is shown throughout the movie without the audience realising until they are nearing the end of the film. At the start of the film the audience understand that Joel and Clementine have only just met and that Joel and Clementine's feelings towards each other grow, but towards the end of the film it is made clear that not only did Clementine and Joel know each other previously, they were also

Film review: A Knight's Tale (2001) - A Hero's journey

During today's lecture we looked into depth on Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory on the 17 stages of 'A Hero's Journey' and how the stages are very evident in films such as Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and The Matrix (1999). The theory has 3 acts which come together to form the 17 different stages in A Hero's Journey.  Below is a diagram to explain Campbell's theory: Figure 1. Joseph Campell - 17 Stage Monomyth - A Hero's Journey (1949) The film that I am using to help prove this theory is A Knight's Tale (2001). Figure 2. Original Movie Poster (2001) Stage 1 - The call to adventure: The Knight that William (Heath Ledger), the knight's servant, works for, dies, meaning that William, along with all of the Knight's over servants, are left without a job. As the servants worry what to do next and panic as they haven't eaten in three days, one of the King's servants come over on a horse and explains that the Knig
