 The general first idea was to have a playful

ghost flying around a building for their own enjoyment.

 The story of the ghost then became more

prominent as I developed my storyboards. The ghost was looking for a place to haunt and found this old worn out castle, as he began playing, while turning into shapes of rockets and umbrellas and such.

I wanted to get good a feel to the area as well as make planned shots.

SLIDE 5

A few rough storyboards describing the story of the ghost.

SLIDE 6

 3D modelled inside area of a castle.  The glowing ghost by using a ball and cloth in

3Ds Max.

 Photographs of the castle as far shot to

introduce to the piece.

 Special effects like fire for the rocket ship and

wind blowing.

 Sound effects like wind, blasts, moans similar

to ghosts.

SLIDE 7

 Camera. (I used my

phone camera as I believe the quality is suffice.)

 Chrome ball for

lighting information.

 Tutorials relating to

the cloth modifier and 3D ghosts.

 A little bit more

inspiration to make the character unique.

 Help from websites

like freesound.org for sound effects.

DONE: TO DO:

 Shots.  Sketches.  Equipment.  Trial and error with

animating the ghost model.

 3D model of castle plan.  Implanting green screen

special effects.

 Applying sound effects

in through Premier Pro.

 Blog.

If I cannot make my character unique or be able to form the shapes I wish for the 3D animation it would be a disaster. - However, I’d try counter it by looking outside the box a bit more and research if there is anything other than a cloth modifier, that would work. Or contemplate animating the character 2D on Photoshop, while giving it a detailed look.



My photos from the castle would not up to scratch, and would make my work look shabby. - I would attempt to bluff it and look at how digital painting helps with Matte Painting to improve the quality of it.



The render times at the end are too extreme and are over the limit of time allowed. – I would try to predict it in my timetable and remember to give myself a few more extra days before the hand in date. I could also bring down the quality of the work, as a last resort and use that for the bases of the project, while sending the HD resolution version later once it is complete.
