start on how diagram could work

Photoshop!

The Website.

Final Website.
We each have our little section that we are in charge of, but they all need to fit, and work with bens overall template.

The front page of the site looks like this: + digitally done slugs.

and is 360 degrees rotatable.  The menu system is still being talked about, but will wrap around the body somehow.  We have 5 sections:

• Philosophy (scott)
• Genetics (Kev)
• Life Cycle (Byron M)
• Images (Me)
• PDF download

When you click on one of these links, the model spins around, zooms in on a part of the body and blows out to white.

What we need for each section are a series of images 1024x768 and the first and last slide need a white background.  So we need pretty much a 'presentation' for each section

Example of what would fit with the website

Not this much text either!!

Go for any images from the previous projects for these sections, or a close up of the slugs and their colour, but dont use anything that is going to lessen the impact of the finals from this time around.

Feedback on font is good! please.  But we do need to be consistant. we can pick them today.

I dont think any of the previous sites have done very well at incorporating text. 

This is being human:

Pretty boring.

And this is Post life:

Who have done it the best out of everyone i think.

Shoot Planning

Mental State Colour

This is a graphic I've combined using a colour wheel and a diagram from the Designing Emotions book I borrowed from Edgar to create a reference point for how we colour the slugs on the body.

Contribution to hand-in May 24th

My part in this phase of our project involved conducted further research into more specific aspects of the project:

-Culture and Language
-Sociology
-Psychology
-Anatomy
-Chemistry
-Biology
-Cannibalism

This involved reading books and websites, aswell as conducting 5 of our 7 interviews with our experts and compiling research gathered at these.

I was also the photographer for this stage of the project, shooting all of our images and doing some of the editing. We took nearly 1800 photographs and large amounts of video footage for this stage of the project.

This work was then written and compiled into the report we handed in as my contribution to the presentation.

Leech Spine

Solidworks renders of the Leeches spine. Rapid prototyped, then inserted into the moulds with the gelatin.

The website

The website:
Well the presenting off the website was sadly a failure due to technical difficulties (It would only load pictures and video from certain computers). However, when the website does work it takes images from the server (as many as are put into the pictures folder) and turns them into a series of generative leeches. I have tried to reproduce as much of the detailing of the real objects with ridges and highlights etc, using generative techniques (so that the leeches different every time, and can scale to fit as many as are needed).

www.flesh2090.com/part2



when leeches are clicked on an image gallery opens up:



there is also a link to play our videos, and to download the workbook.





This site is somewhat closer to the group's aesthetic than our first site, but for the final website, I intend on making this 2D website 3D.

Final Fluid Renders

Houdini voxel fluid timelapse from Byron Mallett on Vimeo.

Since Houdini decided to take 30 minutes to render each frame, I managed to grab 8 frames and blend between them to create a timelapse. I think for next time, I'll start my renders at least a week early, maybe get some render farm time.

Final Video

FLESH from Meredith Crowe on Vimeo.


How I actually made this:

• Storyboard

• Took lots of images and videos of our models
• Exported videos from MPEGstreamclip as image sequences
• Pulled all photos (46,000 in the end) into iPhoto and arranged them into sets
• Cut out 80% of the footage
• Export galleries from iPhoto (about 50)
• Import individual galleries into MPEGstreamclip and export as clips
• Import clips into photoshop and fix lighting and colour to make everything consistent
• Import all clips into Premiere

• Find good music
• Cut and edit music to fit film
• Fix frequency levels and track speed
• Import to premiere

• Cut and order the whole thing together
• Rework audio
• Re-cut and reorder the whole thing together

• Try and render - fail
• Fight with premiere excessivly
• Ben does loading dance
• Win fight with premiere
• RENDER!
• Compress!
• Render as flv for website

Audio for Vid.

I'm having a bit of a freak out about audio for the stop motion, started to wish I had just committed to writing some a couple of weeks ago because its taken me just as long, and i dont have anything I'm happy with.

If anyone has any suggestions - songs or artists, let me know aseep.
