Every night she comes to life and plays with the display in the window. For example, if she is dressed as a rock star she strums on a guitar, if she is dressed fashionably (for example in a black dress) she will pout at a mirror. I also thought she could have a toy dog at one point and be upset after the window change and the dog isn't there.</p><p>She has no knowledge of the outside world. Until...</p><p>One night, a young early twenties couple have been on a night out and stagger past the shop when the mannequin is awake. They both frighten each other, but place their hands on either side of the glass as if they would touch.</p><p>When the mannequin goes back to sleep and awakes the next night, she wants to explore the outside world and the story changes to her trying to escape the window she is held in.</p><p>I am unsure of the ending yet, whether or not she succeeds, because she will just turn back to sleep for the daylight hours and this may make it a sad ending. Otherwise, she could be joined by another mannequin, possibly male so that she herself becomes part of the couple she sees through the window.</p>Hayley Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09440649134147888356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978128341831675636.post-35738014660744646582010-08-27T17:19:00.000-07:002010-08-27T17:21:26.830-07:00Facebook StatusJust a quick comment that relates to my own character design, on the Indiana Jones fanpage on Facebook, this was written:<br /><br /><a class="actorName" href="http://www.facebook.com/Dunderhead" hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=790636837">Abrahan Montes De Oca</a> Indiana jones wouldn't have been as cool if he had a normal backpack insted of a messanger bag.<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Dunderhead/posts/113833252004479">22 minutes ago</a> via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mobile/?v=web">Mobile Web</a> · View Feedback (1)Hide Feedback (1)<br /><a class="actorPic UIImageBlock_Image UIImageBlock_SMALL_Image" tabindex="-1" href="http://www.facebook.com/Dunderhead"></a><br /><a class="actorName" href="http://www.facebook.com/Dunderhead" hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=790636837">Abrahan Montes De Oca</a> This, this is true.

I think the look needs to be more sleek and trainer like to make him look more modern.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWqWzmxK6vYH5sNQuUueEHKcSrkzTftLnCcHfi8-tUujDI07ersOORi8FKXyanjdF1l3KGymUANW4KUrAijX8zVCv4iX6xab3oCHFk2ApZ_nI2L_1iegm513u7JCN2c5YUXoPs54hZDGF/s1600/Le%2520Chameau%2520Chanac%2520Walking%2520Boots.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509769103558685074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 270px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWqWzmxK6vYH5sNQuUueEHKcSrkzTftLnCcHfi8-tUujDI07ersOORi8FKXyanjdF1l3KGymUANW4KUrAijX8zVCv4iX6xab3oCHFk2ApZ_nI2L_1iegm513u7JCN2c5YUXoPs54hZDGF/s320/Le%2520Chameau%2520Chanac%2520Walking%2520Boots.jpg" border="0" /></a> I did like the look of these boots more... until I found that they were for women!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEAmMoMUJD3StFvOq-gUvu6SqtGknoengjA-y0ABpTRM1EGD0B31aEebmJAxUjNkazxxZ_NYVpXthvLMsWhnzWaivu-zDU5a-XaFhD0d58-zdsBLEUR2b_G9Lq82aJkcHYHkNmZ84VlsK/s1600/brasher-womens-supalite-xcr-walking-boots_350.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509769100248485730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEAmMoMUJD3StFvOq-gUvu6SqtGknoengjA-y0ABpTRM1EGD0B31aEebmJAxUjNkazxxZ_NYVpXthvLMsWhnzWaivu-zDU5a-XaFhD0d58-zdsBLEUR2b_G9Lq82aJkcHYHkNmZ84VlsK/s320/brasher-womens-supalite-xcr-walking-boots_350.jpg" border="0" /></a> I think these are right for Michael's character. They are stylish, the black is quite cool but the white also shows he is the hero ( I would probably make the laces completely white for ease of texturing and simplifying the cartoon image). They look practical and more useful than trainers when running through the jungle, but they do not look too heavy weight that running will be an issue. I am going to use walking boots like this for his character.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqu9-5yMXWjxNniyjE_pyIKxkw1rmr2xdaB7cJcRxJnA6voaaeka-a-Y8tizGykYaPTAWTgHHBXjDnEH_c281eJTuPIYZuQGCNvw4bDJes7GNbQJ7r6QpFRMfPjOmXXHluHmp2FWv8TbM/s1600/brasher-telica-gtx-shoe-med.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509769090437922466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqu9-5yMXWjxNniyjE_pyIKxkw1rmr2xdaB7cJcRxJnA6voaaeka-a-Y8tizGykYaPTAWTgHHBXjDnEH_c281eJTuPIYZuQGCNvw4bDJes7GNbQJ7r6QpFRMfPjOmXXHluHmp2FWv8TbM/s320/brasher-telica-gtx-shoe-med.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Next, I looked into Gun Holsters, as I think this can be played with to make something unique for his character.</div><div> </div><div>The first image is actually not of a holster, but a holster type bag for men.

I'm not quite sure about the eyes here and I think it will look better when I have taken more time on the image, but it is a start. He also needs the snakeskin hat, which may be used instead of the leather jacket or interchanged during the film (maybe in a flashback he is in the jacket because he would not need it in the Mayan jungle).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0RQ3cACFM4e6_XRY-dCTwCy2s6KRypGUCzmZqZriwGRY18uTGsDRl45_m3v4acVpQDgwttNUFVKbfRSfM1elDhpTTN0xuxLKxmZ1nnDefe1_5DWAS6OHotKtrZqhnzvqsozN6_I1qRdHJ/s1600/Photo0131.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509761771245168578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0RQ3cACFM4e6_XRY-dCTwCy2s6KRypGUCzmZqZriwGRY18uTGsDRl45_m3v4acVpQDgwttNUFVKbfRSfM1elDhpTTN0xuxLKxmZ1nnDefe1_5DWAS6OHotKtrZqhnzvqsozN6_I1qRdHJ/s320/Photo0131.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />A quick overview of the basic costume, without the hat or jacket:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU4gVEcBnJZJW6Ac1Qr86GUDVGmXKm9R-gX-aZ5swD7_70FJU_OMrG3r4OQm1yIuYRdOGuiUii8IgEpMDkFFvJiMaB4PFOGEtkEinDGSsNj1iU2Ec6GcdNMNdbz_V6-TZzWE7jF6hTlVc1/s1600/Photo0133.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509761762886999058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU4gVEcBnJZJW6Ac1Qr86GUDVGmXKm9R-gX-aZ5swD7_70FJU_OMrG3r4OQm1yIuYRdOGuiUii8IgEpMDkFFvJiMaB4PFOGEtkEinDGSsNj1iU2Ec6GcdNMNdbz_V6-TZzWE7jF6hTlVc1/s320/Photo0133.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Reasons for the costume:<br /><ul><li>Cross necklace: I think that Michael would not be an out and out follower of God, but I think he may call on him for help from time to time, especially when battling ancient Mayan kings. He wears the cross as a form of protection, it makes him feel better. It is also stereotypical for boyband members to wear such jewellery and I feel it suits Michael in this way.</li><li>White Tshirt: the white is to show that Michael is the hero of the piece, and depending on the texturing may have some sort of small design upon it to make it look more aesthetically pleasing as Michael is about style as much as substance. It is a tight Tshirt to show off his muscles and I also think it would be easier to model this way.</li><li>Jeans with Braces: the jeans again are to do with style and practicality, they are easy to wear without just being practical shorts or adventure wear. The braces are for style (as taken from my Justin Timberlake inspiration), but I also think they could be used as holsters for Michael's gun. I am going to look more into this for my final designs.</li><li>Walking Boots: about the only truely practical thing in his costume, sensible shoes for any possibilities that he may come across.</li><li>Satchel Bag: Michael only has one gun so he holds his bag on the opposite side to it. The satchel is conveniant because it holds alot within it (for example some sort of treasure he hopes to find or map book he is using) but again it is more stylish than a rucksack and does not slow Michael down by carrying a lot on his person.<br /><br /></li></ul>Hayley Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09440649134147888356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978128341831675636.post-80634393035125903192010-08-25T02:54:00.000-07:002010-08-25T03:18:33.039-07:00Research: Jak and Daxter and The Lost World<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRRp-kxUPLQt-bqonunCXvJ3-eVSMM6ruAQFrJW-Ac7o2OjPaWQTHwrg24cUXFcKjSHdM7wTfEg50FVVGoDSG9BmMeUTmJ2SWEVIBPXj4r-CVx23x2zvVv01_VjYBdzDZoknl_XXWQ4yLQ/s1600/jdpl-cavern-plats.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509284719917660722" style="DISPLAY: block;

The 3D poses are not quite as extreme, and this may be due to needing more subtlety compared to 2D animation.<br />I am going to investigate further and draw some poses of my own.Hayley Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09440649134147888356noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978128341831675636.post-20180831294708249622010-08-18T04:54:00.000-07:002010-08-18T05:08:48.283-07:00Character Animation Practice: InspirationFor the last two weeks I have been on a Work Placement at Rare in Birmingham. I have been learning an awful lot about animation, especially when it comes to blocking out characters and putting them into strong key poses rather than worrying with the movement of it straight away.<br />I think the poses make the animation stronger. In the first week I focused on walk cycles which is especially helpful for my character animation next year as my character movement will be more subtle and realistic. The most important thing I have learned is not to overly apply rules for 2D walk cycles such as in Richard William's Animator's Survival Guide for 3D animation as the movement does not need to be too exaggerated. Otherwise there is too much movement in too short of a time frame and it looks jerky and wrong.<br />I will be scanning in my notes for walk cyles in my next post, but the focus of this one is the blocking out I have been doing for a couple of character pieces over the last few days. I looked on Youtube for inspiration, and found this jump and short dance section really interesting.<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T1WgdceTAhs?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T1WgdceTAhs?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1kbjII40Cy4?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1kbjII40Cy4?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />I initally sketched and planned my poses to give me a good idea of what I would need to do first and then began by posing the Rare Avatar rig into the poses. I used stepped keys to focus on the blocking out, only using spline when necessary for example to add in the head turns or movement of the arms which overlapped with that of the body or legs. I did each pose on threes, only stretching it out to match the timeline of the video footage when I was satisfied with the poses and wanted to focus on the timing. The results will be posted asap.<br /><br />I do like the first jump it is a very strong martial arts type action which may be used in a similar vein for my third year project. The hero could be leaping out of the way of danger or going full force to attack a bit like the Jack vs the Man in Black video I have previously linked to. It shows how a step before the leap is necessary to gain momentum into the jump and also how a landing does not have to be on two feet at the same angle at the same time.<br /><br />The Michael Jackson Scream video is one of my favourite music videos of all time, and I love the simplicity of the colour scheme being black and white. This would be really effective to apply to animation and perhaps if I was telling an old story I would to make it akin to olf fashioned effects. I was thinking from this of maybe only using a very basic colour scheme of two or three colours but varying the hue or shade of them like the black, white and varying greyscales of the video.<br />I also think the costumes are awesome, and would be great if I was doing a sci-fi piece.

Lying between 14° and 18°N, Guatemala is bordered on the north by <a title="View BBC Weather's World country guide for Mexico" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/country_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT001040">Mexico</a>, on the east by <a title="View BBC Weather's World country guide for Belize" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/country_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT001630">Belize</a>, and on the south by <a title="View BBC Weather's World country guide for Honduras" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/country_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT001880">Honduras</a> and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/country_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT005270">El Salvador</a>.<br />It has a very short coastline on the Caribbean Sea and a longer west coast on the Pacific. In area it is about the size of the state of Pennsylvania and a little smaller than England.<br />The northern part of the country is a low plain and forms part of the tierra caliente, an area of typical hot, tropical climate with some rain all the year round and maximum rainfall between May and September.<br />The west and south of the country are very mountainous with some volcanic peaks rising to over 4,000 m/13,000 ft. A large part of the hilly country is typical tierra templada, and the climatic conditions are well represented by the table for <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/results.shtml?tt=TT001860">Guatemala City</a>, which has a very pleasant climate. Rainfall here is moderate with a distinct dry season from November to April.<br />Conditions on the Pacific coast, where there is a narrow strip of tierra caliente, are similar in terms of the dry and wet seasons, but rainfall is rather heavier and there is little relief from the high temperatures at night.<br /><br />This is interesting as it shows the type of weather conditions we can create for the film.Hayley Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09440649134147888356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978128341831675636.post-61993011421203377892010-08-01T04:30:00.000-07:002010-08-01T04:31:39.116-07:00Guatemala Information 2This time taken from: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/country_profiles/1215758.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/country_profiles/1215758.stm</a><br /><br /><br />Guatemala country profile<br /><a name="overview"></a><br /><br />A country of striking features and a strong indigenous culture, Guatemala's natural beauty and powerful identity stand in stark contrast to its bloody past and troubled present.<br />Mountainous, heavily forested and dotted with Mayan ruins, lakes, volcanoes, orchids and exotic birds, Guatemala is one of the most beautiful countries in Central America.<br />Its indigenous population, the Maya, make up about half of the population. Mayan languages are spoken alongside Spanish, the official tongue. Many Guatemalans are of mixed Amerindian-Hispanic origin.<br /><br />Overview<br /><br />Guatemala's beauty and strength of identity have not been accompanied by cohesion and prosperity. In 1996 it emerged from a 36-year-long civil war which pitted leftist, mostly Mayan insurgents against the army, which - backed by the US - waged a vicious campaign to eliminate the guerrillas.<br />More than 200,000 people - most of them civilians - were killed or disappeared.<br />Despite an official finding that 93% of all atrocities carried out during the war had been committed by the security forces, moves to bring those responsible to account started only after a long delay.<br /><br />Dancers celebrate St Joseph's Day in Guatemala City<br />Guatemalans live in one of the most inequitable societies in the region. Poverty is particularly widespread in the countryside and among indigenous communities.<br />Illiteracy, infant mortality and malnutrition are among the highest in the region, life expectancy is among the lowest and, in common with many of its neighbours, the country is plagued by organised crime and violent street gangs. It is a major corridor for smuggling drugs from South America to the United States.<br />Despite talks and international mediation, a long-running territorial dispute with neigbouring Belize remains unresolved.

<br />The Mayan civilization flourished in Guatemala and surrounding regions during the first millennium A.D. After almost three centuries as a Spanish colony, Guatemala won its independence in 1821. During the second half of the 20th century, it experienced a variety of military and civilian governments, as well as a 36-year guerrilla war. In 1996, the government signed a peace agreement formally ending the conflict, which had left more than 100,000 people dead and had created, by some estimates, some 1 million refugees.</div>

I originally had three main ideas that I wanted to look into, the first being a bus journey, the second an adventure, and third some kind of music video.<br /><br />I did start to do some research into the bus journey idea, taking photographs of the buses and some quick sketches. However, I have decided not to continue with this idea for the following reasons:<br /><ol><li>There were too many possibilites of what to do and I couldn't narrow down the idea to a succinct plot for a short film.</li><li>I do not think the characters were interesting enough to captivate an audience.</li><li>I wouldn't want to limit the creativity of the team setting it in a small area where there cannot be much movement.</li><li>I was starting to get bored of the research already let alone doing the project for a whole year.</li></ol><p>Secondly, the music video is also a no go area because I think it would be difficult to arrange an original song to animate, and also agree on a type of music everyone would want to work on in the group. It would be the perfect amount of time however and I may do some more research into videos to see if I can use them in my project. The main thing that makes me not want to do this is the limit of camera angles with the singer having to look into the camera, and you would not be able to create more tension etc.</p><p>This leaves me with the adventure idea. I think this is the best out of the three because I have a strong plot point that is based on recent news but will be creatively displayed. The Guatamala location gives a strong reference point, as does the Mayan culture. Combined they will make hopefully jaw dropping visuals combining both natural and historical man made environments.</p><p>I also think stong modern architypal characters can be used that the audience will relate with and will want to succeed. I want them to be akin to those already in films and games, but give them a fresh twist. This may end up being by the style of render or colours that are used for them, or to try and make them look more cartoony rather than realistic (which is what adventure games for example seem to do).</p><p>Aims for the next couple of weeks:</p><ul><li>research the Guatamala area and landscape</li><li>historical reference (hopefully from visits to Museums)</li><li>develop the Michael and Prada characters and design the King figure</li><li>storyboard different scenarios that may make it into the film.</li></ul>Hayley Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09440649134147888356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978128341831675636.post-66062745827113509222010-07-27T06:16:00.000-07:002010-07-27T06:23:54.135-07:00Tomb Raider Film: Enemy Idea<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii2QMWA_13K0etMPLMKVTiEWb-OqvqVd9ve0pYah2a6xHbsFFKj-_kJSvOg5KcMI8SsqA5NvCk4kL0mMwb2jzVsD1ZPugbY2pincDlJ4yJAh9jhCZdG7hpdRdmA2FSxV-_1iEjXI7WUaBj/s1600/tr1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498574922656913602" style="DISPLAY: block;

I thought it was similar to the hat I had drawn for my Michael Clark character for the adventure story, and especially with the snake skin it is a little bit different and makes his character more unique. It could also feature in his back story that it was the first deadly snake he encountered and he uses it has his good luck charm. Or something along those lines.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlE5YcirCTV1lTqieqi6qay7UXUpa80Cbal9SBWmIGVURTx-4ukTEFIQKw0JZSYchBfb7Ki5JpFL8eVBqVuf4xL-O2cciYmJpy6T3Aab64ZUwn3bDnx9yhLmEukDUMLMz0UZePxPduKCBP/s1600/DSC08110.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497574133188819074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlE5YcirCTV1lTqieqi6qay7UXUpa80Cbal9SBWmIGVURTx-4ukTEFIQKw0JZSYchBfb7Ki5JpFL8eVBqVuf4xL-O2cciYmJpy6T3Aab64ZUwn3bDnx9yhLmEukDUMLMz0UZePxPduKCBP/s320/DSC08110.JPG" border="0" /></a> I started looking into different lighting effects. This blue light was actually in Morrisons toilets but hey it is very effective. It could be used to a Holy or ghostly affect, as it is quite overpowering and eerie. This could be achieved using a false light like this (artificial light) maybe left by people that have previously explored the dig site, or the light could change for an ancient Mayan figure to appear.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUH-Q9qt7vs2L4OGhgw9CrmiJ0mPeAwbSqTl0siYEDMUZ09gR2ssiKNPyQwgS7kYNN5TLvJEe74hrDZZPFHoqVbqRfv3fkX2CQcKZpgh2LrJbFOzN_Zl1T5P7sNEjre_gSOmsctoEtsDMV/s1600/DSC08111.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497574123542268530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUH-Q9qt7vs2L4OGhgw9CrmiJ0mPeAwbSqTl0siYEDMUZ09gR2ssiKNPyQwgS7kYNN5TLvJEe74hrDZZPFHoqVbqRfv3fkX2CQcKZpgh2LrJbFOzN_Zl1T5P7sNEjre_gSOmsctoEtsDMV/s320/DSC08111.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJuLZVA8rY_O9KSfYlABbJpKHCnr9wubZ40X11u5YUwoXR5R87gmCbWlAmUs3mMSjsqZu_87mQenFntbuSH6rbxgMYfD4OuwJiDTZ2K9D0ykyNQNBrvMPpLlULhV3iyqsafrzyl3pyr-Jr/s1600/DSC08112.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497574116205354194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJuLZVA8rY_O9KSfYlABbJpKHCnr9wubZ40X11u5YUwoXR5R87gmCbWlAmUs3mMSjsqZu_87mQenFntbuSH6rbxgMYfD4OuwJiDTZ2K9D0ykyNQNBrvMPpLlULhV3iyqsafrzyl3pyr-Jr/s320/DSC08112.JPG" border="0" /></a> The last two are also light related images. The one above appeared when sequins were placed in the sun. I think it looks really effective and could be placed around a water source or near the King for a shimmering light coming from the lights rays. The light ray could be placed to give off this sort of effect from the jewels or the silver shells on the King.</div><div> </div><div>The image below was from a the lights in a nightclub called Mosh in Derby. I liked the colours of the light rays and shows how light can be manipulated for certain effects just by its colour. The shafts of light could also be used in our film for natural light from the outside world through cracks in the pyramid's architecture.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy1wpGfg3X99t-R3sn9JrMPYd1h3G3KMem48KxEdpbrTyviRedTypUO1CrJtReaFtrLN6mSQdkLmeww9XMgROyaiyLPFxbqF-1d6gZc3WPEKCemhbqQCAjP4wxiq4hqMYHjqEigYMttEca/s1600/DSC08122.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497574108509771778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy1wpGfg3X99t-R3sn9JrMPYd1h3G3KMem48KxEdpbrTyviRedTypUO1CrJtReaFtrLN6mSQdkLmeww9XMgROyaiyLPFxbqF-1d6gZc3WPEKCemhbqQCAjP4wxiq4hqMYHjqEigYMttEca/s320/DSC08122.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Hayley Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09440649134147888356noreply@blogger.com0
