This week we started our car project where we had too make a car on illustrator. We got given a random hot wheels car that we aim to create in Maya in the future using new tools to make it the best model we can. Side view of the car  Back view                                             Front view                                     Top view   My car is a Nissan 370z so for my illustrator instead of just looking at the images I got a blueprint of the car and put it on illustrator.

Here is my synoptic project idea as a power point presentation. My inspiration for the story was based on a classic fairy tale of the dog being the princess in trouble and the guy/girl being the knight to save them.

This was a huge part of my project and I felt like making the creatures simple yet charming so they would be less time consuming too. In conclusion I think that my project had some faults but was achievable, while It didn't get chosen I think that we would be able to make it using time management and different skills on the team

Shot 2 - Medium shot - Here we cut to the man checking his watch with his red gloves, this is about 30 degrees from the first shit Shot 3 - Medium shot - Here is shot 3 with the mans phone vibrating and the directions showing instead of a small movement 30 or so degrees the next shot will move to over his shoulder Shot 4 - Over the shoulder - Next we go to the over the shoulder shot of the man missing the call because of his gloves.

Shot 6 - Close up - The teenager tries to pick up the phone to no response. Shot 7 - Close up - the teenager tries to answer the phone with his nose...
