Initial Ideas


It’s hard to think of ideas that aren’t entirely influenced by the classic alien and spaceship designs. This is probably why I can’t think of anything right now. The initial ideas that I liked have been jokes in my head that don’t entirely fit within the alien theme. I might pursue these ideas since they could lead to interesting designs and concepts later on. I have an idea about a bounty hunter and another about a family reunion; it seems most likely that I will pursue the bounty hunter idea.
 

VFX

It's time to start writing about the new module. In this module we have been given a storyboard called invasion. We need to stick with it however we are allowed to choose how it will end. Invasion is simply an alien spaceship beaming up an unfortunate photographer. This means we are given a lot of space to apply our own ideas to the interior of the spaceship and the reason this person was beamed up in the first place.

We are working by ourselves however we are allowed to collaborate by swapping skills. Since I enjoy the concept art and working in Maya, I am going to try and find someone who could take over what I am not very good at or comfortable with.
