Shop Front Design Concepts and Orthographs.

-
Moving on with the set design, I then began finalizing the look and feel of the some of the buildings I intend to have in my main street scenes; as well as including 2 miscellaneous buildings that I can then further modify to create other buildings to help fill out the street and add a bit more variety.

For the buildings I was going for a run down weathered feel; with the idea of foliage and natural plant life taking over and reclaiming the town and it's surroundings. With the addition of dirt and moss I am also hoping to convey the age of the town, as well as incorporating small bits of graffiti to help imply its rough history with the ANR Regime.

From these I also created orthographs from these designs, that I can then scale up and use to help when modelling to ensure I am getting the scale of the buildings right within the 'Maya World'.

Figure 1: Kong Film Poster. The creative force that is King Kong (1933) was directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack and written by the visionary minds of James Ashmore Creelman and Ruth Rose.   Devised from the ideology of beauty and the beast, it shows Kong to lose sense of the world around him in order to ‘protect’ Ann (Fay Wray), who throughout the film since after meeting Kong is clearly distressed and anxious of Kong’s possessive tendencies. Forming a whirlwind of cinematography as it “plunders every trick in the book to create its illusions” (Ebert, 2002) for the audiences at the time of its release date. ( Figure 1 ). Figure 2: Ann kidnapped by tribes' people. At the time of King Kong’s (1933) release America was at the peak of the Great Depression (1929-1939), most citizens were unemployed and some even left homeless due to companies going out of business.
