Fantastic Voyage: Creative Partnership Archived

This is my creative partnership archived. I feel that the more we were into this project, the more challenges we've encountered. With the facebook page I've created for the 1st years, I believe that it has been helpful for everyone, if not most. Any problems we faced was put out there and help comes from anyone who knows the solution.This has definitely expanded beyond the creative partners we were assigned for this project :)

Ferntastic Indeed!

After emailing to 50 voice over artists and as I was not that willing to pay the cheapest quotation I got which was £80, FINALLY there were still people out there who were willing to do it for free. Not one, not two but THREE of them have agreed to help me :D

So here's the various narrators (including the original one) Any feedback on which voice over artist I should choose will be gladly appreciated! :)

Indeed, good things come to those who wait and I am glad I did not give up on my search! :D

Fantastic Voyage: Digital Set Concept Art

Figure 1 was my original idea of my digital set. It was simple and quite plain.

After the suggestions and feedbacks given, I went to rework on the concept art for the digital set and this is the end result.

Fantastic Voyage: Book UV and Textured

Fantastic Voyage: UV Layout of Digital Set

Before I was able to place any textures on my objects in maya, I had to UV map them first. By doing so, I avoid any kind of distortion to my objects once I place the textures.

Fantastic Voyage: Wordings' Refinements

I've decided to add a bit of texture to my words that folds out to give it an extra edge of realism because it was too plain and too clean when there was not any.

Fantastic Voyage: Room(Digital Set) Refinements

For my digital set, I've gone to texture the bookshelf, added a glass texture to my window surface and shadows to the scene.

Currently, the glass seems to be too reflective and it looks more like a mirror. I am correcting that and in terms of the overall lighting, I am quite satisfied with it.

Fantastic Voyage: Room(Digital Set) Further Development

I've added the skirting board, adjusted the borders and the colour of the main wall. Though it has been suggested to add a poster to the back wall, I do not want it to be overpowering the educational posters that are already on those walls so I've added a bit of texture to it but it doesn't seem to take effect. Hence, I will try bump mapping it to give a more realistic feel.  Apart from that, I was thinking of adding a couple more poster to the left wall (by the window) as the space there seems a little bit empty. In addition to the further enhance this set, I've done some adjustments in terms of adding folds onto the posters. However, it still looks unrealistic. The lack of shadow might be a contributing factor to this problem. 

In comparison to my previous shot, this looks better but I am not satisfied with the overall look as it still looks too CG. I will further enhance the scene by fiddling with my lighting set up and I have decided that this will take place at evening time where the light from the outside world would not affect the scene as much except giving some rim lighting to the top of the bookshelf and the edge of the table.
