"More Than Meets The Eye" Animated VR Experience

 Working in Quill is immediate. Concept ideas to finished work is possible within the VR environment. This is making the working practice of creating a VR experience pretty fast. Today, working on the environment for the London Underground, has been productive. Setting a timer for 50 minutes working with a 15 minute break, in a different room, playing online chess and walking around. Experimented today with drawing style for the tube train. I like the simplicity of the tube tiles and structural arches. Sally commented that she particularly likes the curvature of the tube and the logo design. Electric blue tiles, which aren't adhering strictly to the colour of the actual tiles in Piccadilly Circus, but they reflect Sally's concept idea in her sketch books of creating a wash of colour, representative of the line on the tube map. Piccadilly is blue. Concept tests early on of creating a tube made simply from line. Decided against this, as I want a block colour of tube to arrive and...

So for date night each week we choose something/somewhere....last Friday it was the cinema. First Man. Interesting to review some of the trailers, to post with this blog. Some of the trailers steer clear of the emotional storyline and simply aim to present a 'block buster' space film. This trailer captures more of the essence within the film that appealed to me. Very realistic portrayal of flight and the enormity of what was trying to be achieved and overcome. Although there was CGI, it was invisible and the grain, quality and footage from a purely technical point of view, made a very convincing 1960's film. It lacked gloss and this only served it all the better. The protagonist's emotional journey, separation and connection of his trip to the moon and his acceptance of the death of his young daughter was powerful.
