3D renders

Here are some test renders of my current model, which I intend to use to produce my final drawing. The model uses the site as a basis and draws upon my site analysis

Site Selection

Today I visited woolwich and had a bit of a walk around to try and select a specific site.  The site I selected was General Gordon Square.  Usually when I go to Woolwich I use the town centre as a through route never really stopping to experience the town, however today I saw Woolwich and in particular my site in a totally previous light.  Before the regeneration of the space General Gordon Square was a place I would class as out of bounds due to my perceived conception of enclosure as well as being told the area was unsafe due to a series of sinister events, however the regeneration of the Square has totally changed my perception.  This supposedly cordoned area now has the feel of the community centre, I watched as people sat down on the landscaped stairs arranged in a rake like fashion to eat, chat and to watch the large television screen that was used to show Olympic events.  A total transformation of the space.  

In terms of video on Friday I was planning on using a multi-screen set-up to carry through the setup of my first video combined with a series of collaged elements inspired by questioning the local community,  although since my visit to site I'm considering setting up a continuous pan shot to combine the collaged elements although if I created the space in 2.5d I'll probably have to create a mask in order to hide the layered images during the movement.  Not really sure if to combine both ideas or just to run with one or the other?  

Anyway here are a few pictures taken on site as well as a test of the panning shot.  I've found I'll have to play around with the amount of movement and time in order to make sure the pan movement stays smooth.       

 

Crit drawing

The following drawing series has been constructed to record the main events in each Time-Space / camera view,  I have noted the main events as being:

Camera 1: Lady eating 

Camera 2: Train doors closing

Camera 3: Train pulling away from the station (The main event, all other events occur coincidently in the same Time-Space) Also secondary event of Lost man on the stairs 

Camera 4: Lady entering the frame  

Post tutorial...

Here is the re-edited version of my video that I showed during Wednesdays tutorial.  I have cut the video down so that that it finishes when the train leaves the shot in the bottom left hand corner.  I've started to take a look at the references that were mentioned to see how they can help to formulate my drawings.

I've also added a link to the video that I mentioned called Numbers In Action by Wiley, I really like some of the techniques that have been used here and would like to try and use them in my own work this year in order to develop my After Effects skills.
