Personal Project

Also as a sub section in Major Project we are to do our own personal project which can pretty much be anything but has to be done in a style you have not tried before. Back in second year i loved doing the title sequence for 'Dexter', i liked the darkness of it all so wanted to bare that theme in mind again. After much thought i decided that i would do the concept work for a ghost train of my own. My ghost train will travel through an abandoned orphanage, i want it to be creepy yet quirky so have decided to do it with the 'Angry Birds' style in mind. From this i want clear design imagery and an After Effects little title sequence for riders to see when they are queueing up for the ride, which i have named 'Disturbed'.

The following designs are for the rides logo, i knew i wanted it to have something to do with an orphanage.

This is the final logo i am really happy with it, it is relevant and does not give too much away. If i saw this on a ride i would be creeped out.

Now for the backgrounds, i am going to do some concepts for the key environments within the orphanage and a couple of storyboards to show how the coaster moves around each of those places.

I wanted an establishing shot of the orphanage, which is where the public would queue as well.

This was my first attempt at the establishing shot and although i really like it, it took two days to complete and i did not really feel i was pushing myself with a style i had not tried before, so i did some more stylistic reasearch and thought it would be cool to try a background in the 'Angry Birds' style.......

 

So this was my second attempt in a different style and i have to say i am really very happy with this, i have never drawn in this style and i actually felt quite comfortable doing it this way. I think it captures mood perfectly and helps make the ride appeal to a wider audience.
