This week my task has progressed to visuals and layouts. The best thing about my job is to create a universe of my own. As a kid we all used to believe that the world is perfect, pure from all kinds of pain, misery and on top of these we felt that everything is fair. As we grow up the realization hits you that the actual case is far from what we perceived. This is where an individual’s creativity comes in. I remember creating artificial scenarios and situations in my mind where the world operated on my commands. Arguably that used to be the best time of my day where the world was perfect and I understood everything for its existence and its reasons.
I feel the good old days have returned. I am doing the same thing that I did as a kid. My work that shows a completely different universe is perfect in every account. Everything that goes in there is part of something that I understand. Right now, I am making the mood boards. It’s my discretion to add anything in it, anything that I deem fit to be added. The next line of action would be converting this 2d storyboard into 3d design. [1]
In the college library I came across Titeuf le film artbook and it hit me that even tv shows with a limited budget can have a film quality, it all depends what the tones are and how they are rendered and executed.
For this, I have again started reading books and watching TV shows. I look for references that will bring perfection and finesse in my work. Some of the historians have said that Da Vinci used to sit alongside a road and watched people passing by. When inquired he said I look for the ugliness in everyone’s face. A mass so disgusting and cruel that I wish to use for Judas’s face in the Last Supper. However, my reasons are another extreme. I wish to add maximum beauty in my work. To make high-quality animations, I am looking to create my own art style with extended depth and meaning. For this I have added shadows and gradient to improve the overall production experience. My primary references have come out of Kloss’s movies.
