3D Modelling Proposal
Working title: Potion Room
Application/Visual Style
For my 3D Modelling project the scene I have
decided to choose is the CGI Element for a film. (On the specification it stated
that it was a sci-fi theme however I have slightly changed this to a fantasy
theme.) The scene will include a variety of models using mesh construction methods. I will be re-creating the potion room from the film Harry Potter series, I have
decided to make this as I will really enjoy making the models and it will give
me the chance to develop the techniques I have learned into making unusual and
unique models. Each model will represent an object from the fantasy world, for example a potion bottle would be used in a potion room that ingredients are kept in, therefore it is an important feature to have in this scene.
Target Audience
As I have watched all the Harry Potter films I understand the
target audience will range from around 12 years and over. As it being a fantasy
theme the choice of colour’s will be quite dark and gloomy and the models I will be making will be brightly lit; the room itself that I will be creating
will be quite dark also. Alongside the film Harry Potter I will be making a potion
room similar to the set they made; however I will be putting my own unique
quality to it.
Object to be modelled
To make my potion room I will making a number of
different models;
1) The first model I will be creating is a Potion Bottle, I will be making a
series of unusual potion bottles and placing them in different parts of the
room; I will be making complex potion bottle shapes with a lot of
detail, others will be made a lot simpler. I will be creating simpler
bottles than complex as I need to make time to create my other models; however
I will be paying attention to detail on every potion bottle I make.
2) The second
model I will be creating is a Potion
Book; every potion room must have a potion book and that is exactly why
I have decided to create one. I will be using the official harry potter text
from a website called 'da font' and I will be using this as the front
cover. The colour of the book will be dark and I am going to make it to look like the book has be worn out; the font will be gold or white so the title is seen.
3) A Potion Jar will be the next thing I tend to
create. Like the potion bottle I will be duplicating the potion jar a
number of times till I have several.
To save time all potion jars will look the same they will just have a
different liquids and different labels.
4) A Table is crucial object to have as a centre piece in the room;, therefore has to be
the most realistic and detailed model in the room. When making the table I will
paying attention to detail, my idea for the table is to make it look old and as
it has been used for a long time, my aim is to make a table that looks workout, as well as other little details to make it look ancient. The table will be the biggest model I will be making.
5) The next model
I will be making is the Cauldron, the cauldron will be in the center of the table and it will be the second
biggest model created. It will have a Smokey green liquid and it will
be brightly coloured; the cauldron will be black and have marks to
make it look old and rusty, the cauldron will also have a stirrer that will
match the cauldron and I will be making a wooden one to place inside the
cauldron.
6) The final model I have chosen to make is a series of Shelves. The shelves will be the
easiest model to make, I will be making a wooden shelf and duplicating them a
number of times to place other objects on them. With the shelves it will make
the potion room look more like a room than a set. There will be more of these
than any model I am making but with the shelves it will feel more like a potion
room.
Legal and Ethical Requirements
To avoid copy write I understand the legal and
ethical considerations I have to follow; to avoid copy write I will not be making
a model exactly the same as its original. All models will have their own unique
quality to it that I will be creating or they will be made from an idea I made
on my own.
For my 3D Modelling unit i have researched several different photographs of different potion rooms for inspiration when creating my own. The first images i researched were images of the potion room set from the Harry potter series; I got photographs from different angles of the room in order to get an idea of what it looks like from all angles of the room. This helped me get an idea of how to create my set, and also helped me what objects to create to put into it. This particular room is built in dome shape, so to make my potion just as unique as this one I will be taking inspiration from the these three images when creating my model.
