more research photos

more movies and books that have an interesting take on clones/other dimensions that i felt helped.








although most of them have a more consequences due to paradox's rather than a basic light hearted approach although I suspect thats due to mine is only 30 seconds long instead of the 2hours or 500+ pages of movie/book.


Alternative characters and more sketches

week#3 day#3

I havn't made a post in a while been busy with other modules but thought i should update what I have done for this week.

Alternative Characters



here you can see the various different drawings for who to play in Opposite i do like them all some of them I may keep for a separate project however they all helped in understanding my final drawing.


my character as he is now, i feel the more i draw him the more it will help when it comes to modelling (which will begin this week) i decided to practice drawing his hands aswell as i feel they are my main weakness when it comes to drawing. practice makes perfect.

Topology research

For my research i studied and looked at a rig on www.creativecrash.com called andy, this rig worked well and looked clean and tidy.








I looked over this model alot so that I could plan out how to model my character and i hope this will help :D.


next: i shall be posting a character profile and some more research pictures that helped in creating "Opposite" i am also hoping to buy some modelling clay to model my character soon and shall post up pics of that if all goes well.

Research guide

Just thought it would help if I put down what the picture is from and what animation it contributed in research towards

1. UP! - Russel a little boy who wants to have an adventure helped in designing my little boy for VS. Monster

2 - 3. Toy story - Andy and the imaginative scene helped also in coming up with the idea of VS. Monster

4. The lost thing - About a man finding a thing on the beach that doesnt fit in anywhere else gave me an idea of what the unknown object could be it also helped a little for VS. Monster and Opposite

5. Stewie - In this family guy episode stewie clones himself to carry out the mundane tasks that he doesnt want to do, this helped in creating Opposite

6. BBC news - This is an article discussing the likelyhood of a parallel universe that could be no more than 2 millimetres away from our own. Which helped in the story creation of Opposite to help explain it to peers and the lecturer.

7. monster drawing - helped in character design for Vs Monster and my monster attack concept idea.*

8. Imaginationland - South Park Episode about them meeting things from their imagination helped in how to merge the boys imagination to real life for Vs Monster

9. Dr.Who - Dr who meets a clone of himself this helped in Opposite

10. the simpsons - Opposite

11. boys imagination drawing - Vs Monster

12. AnglerFish - helped in making the flower and monster attack idea*

13. My Neighbour Totoro - Vs Monster

14. Futurama - Professor Farnsworth creates a parallel universe into a box this episode helped significantly for the creation of Opposite.

15. The Switch Animation - helped for the box concept idea*


* although not helping in the design/story of the final idea directly the research into them and the ideas themselves led to the creation of opposite and Vs Monster


Some research pictures for you...

I said I would be making a post about topology research 2 days ago but i have been busy with my other modules so it had to sit on the backburner but what i have done is got some research pics to upload that i forgot to upload earlier these are both for my final ideas and the ones that didnt quite cut it:













"time and strange forms of exotic matter. some of them may even contain you, in a slightly different form."





















Right thats them for just now i will probably keep adding to it especially for the Opposite idea.

Topology Research will be up soon i promise!
