Avatar Video

Now, I was unsure how to present my avatar. I didn't really wanna just plonk a picture of him down as my showcase already has 2 print based elements. So I decided to create a sort of mini music videoy thing.

I think it showcases my avatar quite well. It shows the detail I went into to make it look as realistic as possible.

I'd like to point out now that I detest 3Ds Max and as I'm not going to be doing virtual environments next year, I've probably not given as much time to this object as necessary. However, it has taken me weeks and weeks constant work to get to this point, so even though it looks fairly basic, it's actually taken a lot of man hours! haha.

FINALY! I've got skin and clothes on my poor little naked dude! It's taken me hours and hours to get to this stage. Next step is making him walk!

I hate 3Ds Max so im quite proud i've come this far! lol!

Walking Avatar

Here he is! Me! Bobbing along, shuffling around his own little world.

Obviously, there's no camera movement or textures yet, they're to come!

My box and Moodboard

I'm very excited to reveal my initial ideas for my box!

The photo above shows the box closed, partialy open, and then fully open. I've created this on photoshop using various shading effects and an image of the box on Google.

The box is actually perfect, it has the use of brown colours, straight lines and a modern design, which is exactly the style of design I aspire too.

The images next to it are just a sample of things I like and hopefully i'll be implementing these images into the box in one way or another.

I also know what elements I'm going to have and the story they will tell.

At the moment I have:

3D Avatar - Myself as I am now.

Audio/Visual - A 30 minute extract of a radio show I did when I was involved with DJing online.

Logo - This is be replacing the logo already on the box, to create my own personal identity on the outside of the box.

MY CHOICE (Audio/visual) - A music video I shot when I used to make and sell music a few years ago.

MY CHOICE (Unknown) - Possibly an advertisement of myself, still not sure about this yet.
