Fantastic Voyage - Final Influence Map

   In thinking bout my paper cut out style, I was think about an interesting way of telling the mitosis process. I want to keep the boldness of the paper cut out colours and luminosity but I don't want it to "this happened and this happens". Also in think about how to narrate what is happening, I want the proteins/cell names to be present so we know what they are. I began thinking about twisting, how the cells can morph to show the next stage, So the idea of Rubik cubes came to mind.

   In talking to my tutor about a rubik effect, pointers came up of looking at Rubik snakes. So, I did some research on how they change shape as well as other forms of rubiks. There is a lot of tutorials on creating different shapes, but it will be a case of trying this in Maya and keeping the desired atheistic. There will be clear areas of the cell like the membranes, and more dense areas.

   Also with the twisting effect, when the cells morph, their name will appear across the surface once and then break away. I was thinking of having a commentary, more likely a male voice. This means careful planning of the script is going to be needed.

  I have a basic storyboard which will have to re done due to this new development, but there seems to be a clearer picture coming to mind.

I have also obtained some rubik cubes to play with.
