NG: Lamp

Rhys gave me the modeled lamp, I tweaked it slightly

I added a directional light to give a stronger light down and an ambient light to bring out the lamp shade

NG: New Idea!

Ok, so my group and I have been trying to figure out our story and with the three factors we've got, we're having a struggle to place them together, so I thought of a possible new story line that will hopefully help us!

Angler Fish!

So the story goes quite simple, the little angler fish wants a bigger, brighter, better light. So he tried using all sorts from LED to car bulbs to disco lights,

 but when he finally finds a really nice bright one, no one goes near him as it's too bright and he is easily seen by predators, so he goes back to his original light.

Here are some different types (breeds) of angler fish.

Angler fish are ugly, lets be honest, so can we style a new one? well of course! I done some research on different artist styles and if we have a small angler fish (maybe a baby) we could make him look quite cute, if there is such a thing as a 'cute' angler fish?

I found these two images which I thought would help characterize our angler fish, :) 

And they can be cute!

NG: Style research

After discussing style's with my group, we came to the idea of incorporating both 2D and 3D, or how Alan put it 2.5D. Here are some examples of possible styles which incorporate 2D and 3D or in which looks like it's 2D.

The bottom 2 are style's with 3D that I liked as well.

Narrative - Group Project

SO! Day 1 and it's straight to work! We have been giver our first project, Narrative - Group work, in which we have to create and animated short, which also is a form of advertisement.

We were split into groups and one person from each group chose two cards at random, our chosen cards read .

UNDER THE SEA 

and

 IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. 

Two quite interesting combinations, so together as a team, we decided to set off separately first and thing of at least three possible outcomes of this.

I first decided to look at the meaning behind the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".I found a video on the phrase which spells it out very easily.

My first initial idea was with Hermit Crabs, the second to do with a Fish Tank (Marine) and the third to do with the BP oil spill and bringing the idea of a "?" after the phrase.

The BP idea came from a video I once saw about Lego working along side Shell, if we all realised the change it is doing to our environment, will we change it? well, no, especially if we don't know it's broken. so it's bringing a different twist to the phrase. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it? Why not?"
