Minor - Continued Design Research

   Before Jumping into modelling, I decided to do some more research on bedroom furniture and to explore shapes. Creating some mood boards and highlighting areas I found the most interesting, the aim is to try and create some of these elements in my own models. As a style, keeping to white wood with a little "princess" flare feels like it would be interesting and mixing this with a different range of toys. 

Shapes
Bedroom Sets
Beds
Mirror and Toyboxes

When it comes to the modelling, there are some areas that was highlighted by a professional modeller online. These are:

- Irregularity
- Asymmetry
- Exaggeration
-Proportions
- Thickness
- Variation
- Level of detail
-Avoiding 90 degree angles.

A lot of animations studios uses these rules in different levels of variation, (Pixar is more subtle compared to Sony Pictures/Illumination). However, I don't want to go OTT with these, so I will try to keep them subtle as possible. I may model the assets first and then then go back to makes some final tweaks.

Minor - Project Brief and Proposal

  Following the Minor brief, a proposal is required to allow the correct planning and work production though out the project. A element that is most crucial is that any work that is being carried over from premise needs to be re-evaluated and fine tuned. This is something I aim to do over the next week or two, hopefully resulting in a new animatic/ pre-viz for the OGR submission and allowing me the greenlight to move into production.
