@Alan Diabetes monster - New orthographs



In the images above, the pink lines show where I have improved the orthographs for the character. After speaking with Alan I have tapered the gloves, made sure that the shoes face forward on the front view orthograph, made his shoulders narrower at the top and changed his head shape slightly. The new orthograph is shown below:




I have altered some of the character's features further when creating the orthographs in Adobe Illustrator. I have adjusted the shoulders so that they were the same level in both views. I have also ensured that the top and bottom part of the face is also aligned.

    Hi Tia, There was nothing wrong with the front view before. Just the feet needed to face forward. So keep the rounded/sleek look. The feet need to be wider in the front view to give him more stability. Side view, the head has a bump/corner in it (back/top of the head), make it round.

    To be honest Tia, we are getting to the point where (as a third year) you should be making these decisions for yourself and being able to quality control your work on your own - Time to take the training wheels off etc. I understand that you need help and feedback (and of course ask) but I think you can afford to take ownership of this character quality control it. Less "Is this it?" and more 'I know what is right/wrong'. Try to notice the flaws in your work, the bump in the head for example is 'obviously wrong' and falls more under the category of 'quality control'not a character design question. Hope that makes sense?

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
