First Mock Up Alien!


Based on this model sheet i whipped up quickly today i had a quick session on 3D max and rustled up a mock up version based on our proposed alien. This is a low poly model so nice and easy to animate, from my experience though the face needs a really good modeller on it. For alien such as ones in the pub mooching around the detail isnt neccesary but when it comes to the news reader for example its going to need a good job done on it!!

meeting

Discussing houses

We discussed how the houses were going to look it was decided that we would model the houses and then apply an fdd modifier afterwards to give a twisted look.

So everyone need to get on and make a house and we will twist them when we get back.

have a good christmas Zac

twisted house


This is my suggested house
it is not very good but it may be a good representation of the style.

First scene and town plan



this is a video of a rush for the first scene 2 things i ahve noticed you can see the space ship in the background that is bad and also we want to slow up as we get to the door.










these are pictures of the town we are going to build the faces of the buildings colored grey do not need to be be textured, or modelled . As they are not shown in the video above.









this is the view from the proposed news camera showing the view down the street towards the space ship.
We will need trees and hills on this landscape or we will have to model more houses.

what we said we would do for next week.

1) Do a character sheet for our alien.

2) Do a model sheet for our house.

3) Zac to post up video of flythrough.

4) Chris to post up his pic. of naked alien.

I think that that is it. Please complain if you think I am wrong.

we need to add some story board sheets too reflect the additions to the script, I am not sure who was going to do them, I will do the news reader bits if you like

Have a good Sunday Zac

Pub scene- details

In the Pub

Characters- Barmaid
Old regular
Young couple
Pool players
Family eating

Camera moves around pub while aliens are eating/drinking etc.

News report comes on tv, camera cuts to the screen showing events happening outside.

"The doors are opening... the humans...they're coming out! Hold on... no I can't believe it... i think the mayor has been crushed... yes...I can confirm that the Mayor has been killed! laser fire
The council is fleeing the scene... i'm getting word in my ear... parliament has been destroyed!!
These humans are clearly not the friendly beings we thought......... they are now firing on the council, this is not what we expected. Camera shakes
They are now about to enter the Rampant Tentacle.... aaarghhhh!!"
Camera falls on side

The transition from outside back to the pub will be done with the opening of the pub door

5 soldiers- rush in

Camera positioned inside the pub, at knee height, looking back towards the door as th soldiers burst through.
The fifth soldier stops in the doorway, camera pans up to close up of face (sfx- glass smash followed by silence). Think buzz lightyear!!
Lip synch- "Everybody up!"
SFX- chairs moving

Camera moves to corner as aliens begin to file out through door.

Jump cut to last soldier leaving before camera pans around destroyed pub (detail) towards the character cowering behind the bar!!
