Research Development and Storyboard

I have done the storyboard same time while I'm doing my concept design. Because I feel while i'm doing or developing my research, a storyboard starts to generate in my mind already, so I'm just putting them down.




This is a concept design for the airchair. I really like this machine and want to make it the 'main' element in the film.

I have also found some nice patten which would come in handy when doing the texturing.

More image is available on my Flickr! IT IS PART OF MY BLOG, so do check it out, THANKS!

Research

First of all, all my research and storyboard images can be found in my Flickr.
Here is the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mli29/

The main credit goes to google and deviantart.com as I found most of the pictures from it.

I also found a book from LRC about funfair. In it there are some very detail enginering drawings that would definally help with modeling.



The reason I love to find pictures from deviantart.com is that...it's more artistic and gives me so much inspiration. For example this airchair's coloring. It gives me a sence of movment just because of its camera angle.


And lighting....

Openning concept

This is to show the overall view of the funfair. I've put 5 main elements into this, which are: The Gate/Horse(or Cup)/Spinning Chair/The Tower and The Wheel.
The Camps as background are less detailed, which requires little modelling and texturing.
