Images to help with Box







I was a bit unsure on how to involve the grandad in the room whether to have him slobbed out on a sofa or fallen asleep at the dinner table. I thought him falling asleep at the dinner table would make the set smaller and easier to re-create. I wanted the set to look a bit messy, with the chairs pulled out making it look like the other family members have got so bored of waiting for the grandad to finish his chistmas meal that they just left the table.

I want the set to look quite christmasy, I'm going to base it around what my house looks like a christmas. I might just have a couple of christmas cards hanging up and a couple of presents in the corner. A fire blazing away and the christmas meal. I might steal a few aspects of the holiday thanks giving because that has a huge meal quite like a christmas dinner and its really easy to find images of a thanks giving. I also got a few pictures of a sunday roast that my mum had made so I could see what the chicken would look like when it had been carved up.
















I didn't realise how purple the chicken was until until I took these photos. I shall include these colours in my bird bones, even though its a turkey and not a chicken I'm guessing it would look very similar.

The colours used in the chistmas meal and the entire room are very warm. I want to try and recreate that warm feeling. To make the interior of the house look even warmer I might show what the exterior of the house looks like, for example you would be able to see there neighbours house from the window and there would be snow all over the trees and grass.

Ideas for set

The Ideas I had for the set for my second assignment was to make the punk rockers bedoom. I would probably make the walls black with a couple of punk posters hanging up. Props I will need are the bed, sink, mirror and a drum Kit. I might have some exta bits of furniture in the room just to fill up the space. I already have a drum kit which I made a while a go out of clay, I might try and use that.

I'm going to get some wallpaper from a DIY store and just paint that black. I haven't decided what to use for the floor yet I might just try and paint it a wood texture.

Ideas for box

The idea for my box was to make a scene too show after a christmas meal. I have looked at a lot of images and people tend to be slobbed out on the sofa sleeping, plates stacked up.

Things I shall try to model

Plates
Table
Sofa
half eaten chicken
wine glasses with left over wine
Old man fallen asleep on the sofa
knives and forks scattered about
burnt down candles
party poppers
crackers
old man


Things I'll need to buy

Table Cloth
MDF for sofa and table
Clay to model knives, forks, plates half eaten chicken,
Card for the crackers, party poppers
tissue paper for napkins
Material for old mans clothes

Assignment Ideas

The Box Assignment

The event that has occured would be a christmas meal, it would be after the meal has been eaten so a lot of mess and a man sleeping on the sofa with a bit of a podgey belly.

The.. Assignment

The music video will be based around a punk rocker. It will start of with a CGI section. The rocker would be on the stage with his drums but he gets booed off. He decides to drink this weird looking potion which his manager gives him to hopefully improve his skills. The scene cuts to stopmotion version of the rocker sleeping in his bed. He starts to morph into a monkey. When he wakes up he sleepily walks over to the mirror. The reflection in the mirror would be drawn animation. As he slowly opens his eyes he realises he's a monkey, screams and somehow makes it over to his drum kit. He realises that he is a lot better at the drums as monkey than what he was a man.

I'm not 100% sure about how everything is going to happen so the story line might change slightly throughout the project.
