If everything goes accordingly to the schedule the building will be up and standing June 2011.

The Newcastle based architect company "Napper Architects" were very kind to let me use their techical drawings as modelling reference.

The building is composited into a live-action shot that I have filmed over at the location where the new campus will be situated.

Note that I'm not hired or asked to do this by anyone.  I'm doing this because I think its way more relevant for me to visualise something that will actually be built than making something up from my own mind or using google as reference.

Result:

Work In Progress, Animation:

• Advanced Visual Effects

• Creative Animation

• Studio Practice & Business

In addition I will have a personal project based on my own terms with follow-up by a personal supervisor.

I want to focus on Architectural Visualization and VFX for my personal project module.

This is the making of:

Online Hero. 

Nobody notices Napoleon at school and ever since he discovered the "World of Warcrack" he begins to reject his own reality and live his life inside the computer game. From this point on things are starting to go downhill for Napoleon; evading his only friend and failing his tests at school.
After isolating himself at home gaming on his computer he finally reaches the level-limit in "World of Warcrack".
His confidence from the online world has affected his real-life behaviour and he returns to school with his head held high. On his way down the hallway Napoleon bumps into another student:

Student "Watch your step idiot"

Napoleon "Do you know who I am?"

*Student hits Napoleon in the face*

Fade to black. END.
 

"People at school think I'm a ZERO,

but I'm Napoleon the online HERO"

The intensions behind this assignment was to get a better feel on cinematography and how to plan your shots.
