Manfred's Project Development: Scene 2 + Lighting and Rendering [Project Notes]

http://manfredprojectdev.blogspot.com/2012/08/scene-2-lighting-and-rendering-project.html

Tuesday, August 7, 2012. Scene 2 Lighting and Rendering [Project Notes]. A view of the models for the scene without textures applied. A closer look at the photo frames. One of the early tests of the lighting with global illumination. Really nice lighting and shadows. Another test of the global illumination, with the textures applied. An off-camera view of the scene. A close up view of the photo frames. An off-camera view to check if the camera is positioned properly on the monitor screen.

Manfred's Project Development: Google's Lego Storage [Project Notes]

http://manfredprojectdev.blogspot.com/2012/08/googles-lego-storage-project-notes.html

Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Google's Lego Storage [Project Notes]. An image of the Lego storage for reference. I also experimented with the camera movement and tried attaching it to a spline so that it arcs around the model and also tried using the outro animation as a transition to the next scene. A close up of the power unit. One of the vents along the front of the storage unit. This one presented a bit of a challenge for me to model. An overall view of the completed model. The side view of the storage.

http://manfredprojectdev.blogspot.com/2012/08/google-is-being-used-all-time-and-it-is.html

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Google is being used all the time and it is sure to gain some amazing statstistics. So I am focusing on how much it is being used, where the searches originated from and a few facts about the I'm Feeling Lucky button. I decided to make a globe with a free texture of the Earth from the web. I want to show that there are searches from Antartica, with the globe rotating to reveal it. A simple sphere with the Earth texture applied. Rigging the claw to open and close. Google is bei...

Manfred's Project Development: June 2012

http://manfredprojectdev.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Storyboard Draft [Project Notes]. After the script is done, the next step is to create the storyboards. As this is a video infographic, it is important that the scene reflects the information described in the script. For example, when the script says that Google is worth $210 billion, the scene will be populated with related elements such as coins and bank notes. Storyboard Page 1 of 7. Storyboard Page 2 of 7. Storyboard Page 3 of 7. Storyboard Page 4 of 7. Storyboard Page 5 of 7.

Manfred's Project Development: May 2012

http://manfredprojectdev.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. First Draft of Script [Project Notes]. Instead of just presenting facts after facts like a standard Did You Know video, I decided to make it more like a narrative and try to link the facts to each other. I did not want to just simply throw in a bunch of unrelated facts one after another and be done with it. My first draft of the script is as follows. First Selection of Facts [Project Notes]. Read on for the list of facts that Ive selected. Selecting the Typeface [Project Notes].

Manfred's Project Development: Title Scene + Style of the animation [Project Notes]

http://manfredprojectdev.blogspot.com/2012/08/title-scene-project-notes.html

Monday, August 6, 2012. Title Scene Style of the animation [Project Notes]. I obtained the Google logo in vector form. From the vectors, the Google logo is extruded in 3D and shaded according to the colours of the logo. I then proceeded to make the remaining of the title in "cards" and coloured the borders using the Google logo colours to keep it consistent. A different view of the animation of the title. An off angle view of the opening scene. The opening scene as seen from the render camera.

Manfred's Project Development: July 2012

http://manfredprojectdev.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 3, 2012. The next stage after the storyboard is the creation of the animatic. Basically, it is a slideshow of the storyboards to get a sense of the timing. The only audio I will be using in my animation is the background music, but it is not necessary in the timing of the animatic. A draft of my animatic is show below. Also, the music at the moment is current ly Does This Hurt (Instrumental). From SoundCloud. It is only a temporary plac. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Visits since 11 May 2012.

Manfred's Project Development: How much Google is worth now [Project Notes]

http://manfredprojectdev.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-much-google-is-worth-now-project.html

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. How much Google is worth now [Project Notes]. This scene will show how much Google is worth now. The amount is representative of Google's stock value. Therefore I decided to add elements from the stock market such as the stock tickets and the ticker bar below the billboard. I also added stacks of US money, gold coins and gold bars to further tie in the idea of Google having a lot of money. I modelled a very simple gold bar shape and duplicated them. Google Search [Project Note...
