I had three compelling concepts for my previs project, which I plan to present as my Final Major Project (FMP) story. With a focus on demonstrating proficiency in environment design and Digital Matte Painting (DMP), I aimed to develop a story with a strong sci-fi theme. Here are the initial ideas along with accompanying mood boards and basic shot outlines:
1. A boy trapped in a modern world discovers a mystical book and sets out on a quest to find like-minded individuals, only to realize it was all a dream.
2. A scientist creates a device that can access alternate multiverses. However, a malfunction reveals multiple versions of himself warning of the danger it poses to humanity. To prevent disaster, he must destroy his lab and everything in it.
3. In a futuristic environment, a groundbreaking medication allows people to experience different emotions at their command, such as the warmth and happiness of sharing a meal with loved ones.
After consulting with George, we decided to pursue Idea 2 as it offers more potential and aligns well with the skills I want to showcase. This project will be an immersive exploration of a sci-fi narrative, focusing on creating engaging environments and impressive DMP work.
In the coming week, I will work on creating the moodboards and some basic shots in Maya.
