Butterfly!! Now, the reason this image was taken, as well as the video, is that the environment created for these beauties was actually done really really well. It actually felt like you were in a place like that, say for example a jungle. It's this aspect that I wanted to convey in our animation. A simulation of another environment.
Rats getting eaten by these huge birds. I guess, for some, this was too sightly? The area around these birds was pretty much like completely deserted..
Poor rat feed. D: - Primary research for rats in the street of our environment. Why? Because these are the animals which carry the black plague. This is also going to be the movement of the camera in our animation. The reason why I want to get the attributes of the rat down is so that I can hopefully try and mimic the movement, and characteristics of the rat, hopefully make it seem realistic enough. That also obviously depends on how we carry it out. At this stage Dom and Lily are going to do the animation, however that is subject to change depending on how much time we have left.
King of the arena. This guy just pretty much sat here watching over all the others, being a total badass. It was funny because all the other ones were play-fighting, and generally being mischievous. Again, feeling totally at home in this created environment.
BIRDS! This bird as totally awesome, sitting there, enjoying sitting on the branch. Minding it's own business. I tried to stroke it, but it flew away, many times. :(
Semi - relevant, but first trip to the zoo! Looking at fake habitats in order to create a homely atmosphere for the inhabitants.
It's actually pretty weird. This was a very very cold, and rainy day, but funnily enough, none of the animals seemed to care much, as it pretty much seemed normal to them, apart from the tiger crying cause it was cold :(
The makeshift habitats were actually done quite well, some places were a LOT hotter than others, and some were a little cooler. Now, you may think that all of this is irrelevant, but in my opinion it isn't. All of these habitats are makeshift. Totally fake, yet they are made in a way to simulate their original habitats, to make the animals / insects feel at home. It was this aspect to the visit which made the visit important, to see how I could use what I saw to make the environment seem... feasible. Recreating an old place is going to be hard. Thankfully, we live in London and know how gloomy and grey it is, this should hopefully be quite simple to simulate.
Watch some of the brief video documentaries below for some short laughs / informative response.
This guy was cold though, and I felt sorry for him. It also made me realise how ignorant some people can be *cough*religion*religion*MUST WATCH ALL OF THESE. FOR THE LULZ! :D
