the FINAL SUBMISSION
1 x STRATEGY STATEMENT
With the creation of my Island, I wanted to explore ideas of the Picturesque in order to create a Sublime image. The notion of 'the Sublime' - "greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement or imitation" - was traditionally used to depict the natural world around us. I wanted to explore this in an expanded definition of 'the natural world' by applying it to ideas of space outside of the limits of the Earth.
The hiding of the letters and number combination was achieved using a minimal approach. The letters are initially hidden throughout the island using small blocks disguised amongst rubbish and other goods. The "grounded" nature of the numbers (hidden on the ground) is slowly replaced by a focus on the sky (the numbers hidden in the rocks, as well as the final image - the C shaped island with 4 free-floating bodies). This notion is further reinforced in the trailer, where the initial shots are of the landforms of the island, with the free floating nature emphasized as the trailer progresses.
5 x IMAGES OF DRAFT CRYENGINE ENVIRONMENTS
1 x MOVIE TRAILER
The opening scene, featuring the collision of the two planets, was taken from the Lars von Trier 2011 film 'Melancholia'.
The music is the opening 2 minutes of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde - Prelude. The links to the youtube videos from which these two were taken are as follows:
