Shift!

We finished and changed the name to "Quake"

Work In Progress as of May 2008

Style Frames I've made:
Beginning transition to underground layers/abstraction:

Middle underground floating layers/ wideshot:

Layers start to turn:


Layers are completely turned on their edge. Then they duplicate out to form this new glitchy pattern as crystals grow.

Ending snowy scene. House is reformed, but retains remnants of the broken layers.

Magic Crystals Rough Test 01

1st pass from overnight.
Set-up new lighting. Starting a new pass now.

Updated colors?

Animatic with Sound

My Paper Mind

Great use of a multi-plane look. In ours, dimensional planes will intersect with the flat planes.

Javan Ivey

Object textured color fields

interesting method of applying texture to color fields

Hey Genius

Aside from random crystals, this is not completely relevant. It is however, amazing.

Low-level relief house

Interesting low-level relief flat space

Stacked Layer Objects

This is an example of an image that appears to be standard 3D from the front-view, but is actually composed of stacked layers when viewed from the side. In addition to containing a front plane with its own moving projection, the side-edges add up to another abstracted color shape. It is similar to when you color the page edges of a book*. For us, there would be more space between each page layer. 3D objects would live within that space.

Shattered House

Interesting take on breaking apart

Outline

Outline of major scenes/images:
-TRADITIONAL HOUSE ON HILL LANDSCAPE
-HOUSE ON HILL BREAKING UP
-CRACK GROWING/ LANDSCAPE SHATTERING/ SHIFTING
-LAVA RISES
GROUND PIECES FLOAT ON LAVA
(SOLID GROUND TO LIQUID GROUND)
-PIECES SINK TO REVEAL UNDERGROUND LAYERS BETWEEN CRACKS
-CRAZY ABSTRACTION/ PICTURE PLANE PIXELATES OUT DIMENTIONALLY
-SNOW COVERS EVERYTHING
-LANDSCAPE REBUILDS ITSELF – CHANGED
-REVEAL LANDSCAPE ON FLOATING WORLD

Earthquake Rose

Interesting!

A sand-tracing pendulum created this pattern during an earthquake.

Expressionism

Expressionism Definition from the Britannica Online Encyclopedia
"art style in which the artist seeks to depict not objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in him. He accomplishes his aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic application of formal elements."

Stardust Boards Awards

I like the sense of space, camera moves, and the way the objects grow in this one.

Pearl C. Hsiung

Sweeeeeeeeeet

Squares

From I Heart Huckabees. The footage breaks apart into tiny, floaty squares:

Encyclopedia Pictura

These are my new favorites!
Encyclopedia Pictura

Interesting effect using liquid. Raw footage from the music video for "Haven't Been Yourself"

"Grow"

I like how the natural elements cover & transform the objects (people, building, etc.)

The Original Magic Rocks

I wanna shoot time-lapse of these. I like the image of starting with a grassy home scene. As it becomes fractured from the earthquake, everything gets covered in crystal/white/snow/fog. Then color & simple form, such as THE ORIGINAL MAGIC ROCKS awesomeness grows out of the mist*.

*mist could be understood literally as a physical fog or metaphorically as an abstraction that is so far removed from its original state (as a house/hill landscape) that it becomes like a fog. Alternatively, we could go in order from white with sound intro to literal house/hill to fractured house/hill to abstracted house/hill to snow white/crystal covering over everything to plain white with sound again. And in such a way have a simple circular loop structure.

Layers Test

Okay, I only worked on this for like 5 minutes.
But, I just wanted to get started on something.

Amazing!

This is a great, simple video (reminds me of my Diamond flash project):

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Here's a video clip from Yoshi's Island. Whenever Yoshi touches the fuzzy monster, he get's dizzy, and the resulting landscape looks like a morphing, rolling, psychedelic landscape:

More Style Inspiration

I like these a lot.
They're flat but textured.
