Time Management

Welp, I've learned the hard way by letting down my team. The submission folder shuts at the date mentioned. I'm gonna have to be more vigilant about time. This is because late submissions are not accepted in studio, so it's for our benefit.

Neon Noir - Dystopian Cyberpunk

Working on this project has been interesting due to the sheer amount of ideation happening. It's been exciting so far.

General Feel for the streets

My protag concept. I wanted to fuse robocop from Jerwin's suggestion and some typical noir elements

First Landscape concept with very sheer vertical drops, the idea of a tall city

Art Deco Posters for inspiration

Some Gatsby to look at for patterns

Punks for the lowerclass

more mood stuff

art deco stuff

alexander mcqueen for high class

avante garde for the high class

Colour palette and feel as well 

architecture/environment ideas

I really think Blade Running fits what we're doing so well

Noir lighting is beautiful, minimal, and effective

I thought xcom and saints row would be good games to pull look and inspiration ideas from

The Manner of Organics

In my discussion with Dane last week, I realised that what I'm more leaning towards is the social aspect of production in terms of flow. There is a process through both mediums of column production in roman times and animation in the present day. Both have workers gathering and transporting the resources which were formed chemically in nature. The training of people to craft this beautiful objects. The bringing of them together in waves of productivity. Each craft mostly performed in the same place during daylight hours, planned to function over a course of time. Each part of the craft being made in little seperate parts with a central core. Timing is animations core, and the metal rod and central holy is the columns core. A time chart in this regard is comparable to the central core and therefore pure idea of a column. The position in space, the dimensions, and the feel is dictated by a gestural line representing both space and time for both animation and column building.

As advised I need to really start refining on what process I exactly intend to craft out of these two. It's bizarre because in my head I feel these two to be absolutely tied in a way that is unmovable. But to put it into words, that's another task. I would love to explore the nature between space and time but perhaps I should leave the social gathering aspect by the roadside to keep the assignment doable.

I really adore the idea of comparing the segmented process held by a literally pole of planning. In the form of a metal pipe. In the form a line to plot movement path with timing notes. It'll be interesting to represent this in a physical sculpture next term.

Spacial Time

I've been looking into an artist called Daniel Ramos Obregon, I love his work and I really like how he is sculptural exploring extensions of the body. I think it really goes with ideas of space, especially how organics fill space in different moments of time. I feel as though, whilst it deviates from the column idea, I could employ the process of both column and straight ahead animation together in my understanding of spacial awareness.

Transdisciplinary Thinking - Roman/Greek Colums

To produce a column, many things must happen firstly, the marble needs to have been created first. Marble is a physical solid state material produced by a series of chemical reactions, that came about from certain conditions.

Once the marble is formed it must be mined. Then it must be cut into the right shapes. Decisions about what kind of column it is and where it will be situated in the grander structure must be made.

Under the assumption that the column is an etruscan column, a fine artist would be required to create the ornate carvings at either end of the column. Whilst a less fine carver would flute the other pieces that make up the column.

A column is made with segments that all have a hollow tube in the centre. When it is time to stack the segments to make the column, a pole is placed where the column will stand in the final structure. The segments are stacked, and there stands a singular column.

Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of this process is the sheer number of people involved in bringing this all together.

I want to look into how marble comes about naturally at a chemical and geological level. I'm gonna spend some time collecting links to relevant things. For instance, I'm looking at marble formation now.

Tower Homework

I made a tower for the homework and I need to light it, but I need to keep making it. Classroom is being taken over. Gotta go
