This week we learnt to render a series of shots in maya and use different shots to explain the story and through this showcase ideas about graduation designs.
- The first scene shows two scientists who have developed a monster that has escaped from the lab. They have opposing views about the monster, one of them thinks it should be killed, the other thinks it has feelings and should be captured and brought back to the lab. Two scientists stand in front of the laboratory where the monster was once kept and argue fiercely
One of the scientists followed the monster to the remains of an ancient building in Egypt. The scientist tries to kill the monster, but is unsuccessful. On the roof of the building, the monster prepares to kill the scientist.
The scientist who thinks the monster can be saved arrives to find his friend in crisis and he calms the monster and protects his friend.
- The second idea was to create a story about traditional Chinese customs, inspired by temple fairs and ‘Nuo Mian’. ‘Nuo Mian’ is a mask that people wear during the Chinese New Year parade and the legend says that the person wearing the mask is a messenger of the gods. Most of the processional masks are designed as very majestic images of monsters.
In a village there was a monster with a terrible mask on his head and people were afraid of him. This Chinese New Year, a little girl was alone to release the lantern, she wished not to be alone anymore. When the lantern flew into the air, a strong wind suddenly blew and the lantern looked like it was going to fall. The little girl chased the lantern and accidentally walked into the monster’s residence. The monster is very frightened, but the little girl is very happy when the monster fixes the lantern and they fly the lantern together.
