New blog

In order to improve this blog I have decided to change the plataform with which it worked, in such a way that now I will use wordpress. It has more edit possibilities and the result remainds more professional.

These days I've been working to create the new one, and this is the result. Properly I'll redirect directly the blog to the new  one.

XXVI. The model

Since the first day it has evolved considerably. First I spoke about dividing the stage into three parts, later I changed it in two and finally afterwards to an only stage where it would draw the parts of the village that are represented there.


The last base that I have drawn is the image you can see next. I have placed, the parts of the people, or the cave, in different way so that everything has more cohesion. On the other hand, I have also wanted to play with the perspective of the buildings and the characters who appear. It is not easy, because of I have to found a suitable perspective for all the elements, and it's complicated. 


The next image is a prototype of what finally it might be. Several aspects about sizes have to be retouched, among other things, but this is what I have to keep on making during the next days.






For the other had I have to say that I make more personal set. I added some rellevant elements of my town to make it mine and for to do a different Saint George legend ambientation. 


I have changed the castle for a mixture between the church and the town council of my village. I have also added some other important element, as the Museum Paper Mill of Capellades, which is quite known in Catalonia.

Regarding the cave, I have inspired in a cave that there is also in my town, Capellades, and this can simulate perfectly the house of the dragon and right in front, all the actions that happens there.

The following images are references that I have taken to draw the village and to be able to inspire in it. 


These two ones are the town council and the curch and I mixed it doing a representation of the castle. 




This building is the Museum - Mill of paper. It is an important element of the town. Actually the manufacture or the handmade paper is explained there and it can still be seen how it is made. It is very much known for the amount of schools and families that visit it, because of that I have believed that it was important to add  to the scene.

This cave will represent the "house" of the dragon. The place where will take place some actions. 

At Capellades, my town, we have an archaelogical Paleolithic parck where every summer take place some excavations to know more about our ancestors the Neanderthals lived. 

This cliff was formed for the flow of water and created this form over the stone.

XXV. Brifing. Project Management



Here there is the work we had to do for Project Management, another subject of Glyndwr. We had to explain our final project idea following a guide document. 


You can see my work here.


How I explained at the last post, at September I did two courses on Barcelona. One of mapping and the other about After Effects. I have to say that I learned a lot and I'm sure I will be able to apply all the contents to my final project. In the case of the mapping course, now I know much better all this world and I can know the limits or the way that I have to take, for this reason, I changed a bit some items of my preproduction to adjust it, but I will explain it to the next post.
