First page

So basically I'm making a motion graphic photo album. That way I can achieve my original goal of telling a story.

I'll post the storyboard sketches later.

Here's the 2 Pages of the album:

Update

So I realized that I didn't really have a solid end idea for my thesis and it was making me struggle through the rest of the set up.

I finally came up with the idea of taking still images and putting them together in a virtual "photo album" then have them play through a video and have voice over work on top of that. That way I can show off the level.

Here are some of the shots I've taken for the final piece.

Images Ho

Revisions

So my thesis had to take a slightly different direction from the original plan of making a game level. Instead it's going to be an environment. Not so different from the original goal set.

I realized partway through the first couple weeks of this quarter that I did not plan out properly for a game level. Which in a way is actually a good thing....At least from a learning point of view. I almost wish I could start thesis over so I could do a better job of planning for a game level.

Almost.

I've got a few ideas about how to take a walk through into After Effects and making a video for my thesis defense. Lots of work left to do this quarter. I kinda wish thesis was a three quarter project.
