I've decided to change my essay subject to Greggory Crewdson, I reallly like the mystery behind his imagery, and it fits into many films that I have watched.
this image reminds me of something alien is going on, I feel that he image is built on the old pertence of alien sightings in the 50's - 70's.
the image begs the question of why is the light focused on that point, I felt the light could be biblical or holy, like a light from God.

New uncanny Updates

here Is an update to what I'm looking up and thinking up

I've decided to take my inspiration from Escher


It is this idea that has got me thinking


with Escher's work I like the way it turns a normal scene into an illusion



this idea was where it came to chalenging our perception of a dark Gothic house and changing it to a modern contemporary house in a creepy dark woods, this is a quick sketch with not much detail but its just voicing the idea of why does horror commit in a Gothic house when it can happen anywhere, PLUS we feel comfort in NEW fresh "contemporary" house so I'm just challenging this, why cant horror happen in a newly designed house??

this idea is a mixture of experiments and ideas rapped up into one, more inspired from films I have seen in the past few weeks. I like the idea of entrapment, where you feel trapped.
though this image is a basic random out of head thinking sketch and everything is too obviouse.

This is more towards the Idea, a nice modern house, but with manacles with in it, (after this, image; it locked me in the idea of manacles, so I decided to shoot some ideas out of my head into a page)




here I'm experimenting with changing and challenging the viewer, of looking at a scene through a refraction, again very quick and scruffy, they're just quick thoughts and very ruff ideas and while creating this I was taking my inspiration from Escher.

Here through maya I have experimented in creating a manicle


The shapes have been manipulated through using a pipe shape


the chains were not beveled so they would create the smooth look


these are not finished peaces, and this needs more detail if I where to use it with in any scenes,
you could call these a digital sketch.

(again and again this blog is lacking film reviews time has been very very very busy, I'm not going to lie and make wiled wacky excuses, but this weeks have been tite on me with trying to get a free evening) and they will be coming up soon

Pirate Cove


I cant wait to learn more on creating my own scene in maya and to create my own textures and lighting.

this is the pirates cove tutorial I have just finished and cant wait for the next set of tutorials =D

chalenging your Preconceptions


Looking up on this house u'll see as "moden", "contempory", "flash or posh", I have decided to changenge this does a "gothic" house have to be seen as the scary house.


Just by changing the background and the scene around the house, and darkenning and changing the hue/cantrast and darkenning the main building. chalenged the perception of the house to be dark and atmospheric.
( yes I do know I have used photo shop and the project is mainly about maya) but this is a concept running through my head about chalenging the preception

influences and links

MAYAKUL






Mayakul is really quite freaky, though his imagery is slightly inspiring, due to this this is just a simple girls face. but the use of colour he has made it cold, dark and sedistic. It's like he's taken the wormth and chucked it away by using whites and blcks, the face is as if it is looming out the darkness heading towards you. the face reminds me of that of the Unborn,




The image is quite close you could ask whether these are brother and sister... This is also linked about how people don't like the undead, and sparks off a feeling of discomfort. children used in horror also sparks of the hysteria as children are seen as funny but horror films take that and morph into something else.






his buidings also like dark catheadral gothic like mantions that rise above you. Itis always the grandness of a place that hits us and scars us. the classic use of the gothic hounted manchion look always creeps us out, due there always being am unhomely expireance or feel about it.

one question, can you use a normal ruler?, or will it damage the surface?
