Final Masters Project

       Allow me to present you my final year masters project, which took me whole summer to accomplish from scratch to finish. Mostly I was concentrating on destruction of hard materials such as metal or concrete. For that purpose I made my project development blog where you are able to see the whole process documented with obstacles I was facing with over 30 entries dedicated just to this project.

Project summary:
       The project is a short animation called “Connected Mistake”, which emphasise the dangers that could occur during reckless driving. It is in 60second and 30second format to fit the typical advert placement for television. Stylized semi-realistic look and non-linear time progression through storyline should stand out from the awareness film-add pool and transfer the consciousness message as for mature so for immature audience. The film explores the conversion of happiness to misfortune with colour mood change, where a small carelessness caused by cell phone manipulation during driving in sub-urban environment could lead to tragedy. Animation starting with disrupted storyline with nonlinear time progression first showing the outcome of the disaster.  Time is dramatically slowed down to emphasise the details of the crash. Timeline is swapping between backward slow motion time progression and normal forward time evolution. Film should point out the mobile devices manipulation and dangers involved while driving.  It is placed in semi-urbanized environment in European lifestyle to attract the wide range audience of cities and suburbs, mostly situated in affected areas where the risks involving driving are high.

Interactive 3D PDF

       A few weeks before summer and before we started developing our final year project we had to make a proposal for our projects. Those proposals were under codename “25 Word Game” and the idea was that we should explain our projects in 25 words as best as we can. The rule was to use exactly 25 words, not more or less.

       For that reason I prepared interactive 3D animation in PDF format, so anyone could open it and play with it. The animation is set in loop and the user is able to change camera angles (interact with camera as desired), rendering techniques, colour pallet, backgrounds and play with features.
Controls are shown in bellow picture, so try it yourself, experiment and have fun.
