Modelling: The Finale

After finishing the dreaded Conveyor Belt of Doom I started to piece together the various  district models in order to create the Finale, which is essentially a cornucopia of wedding cake constructions.

Eventually components of this will be animated in order to show the orchestra crystallising into it's final form.

Trombone and Tuba: Building the Interior

The interior of the trombone and tuba district is slowly coming together. I am, however, unsure about the big, empty space in the middle - should that be populated by buildings as well? Or left the for little Reds and Yellows as the royal notes enter? 

Trombone and Tuba: Building the Set 01

Few screenshoots from the Trombone and Tuba district. This is the first set I am putting together so the more feedback the better. I also apologize for not providing actual renders but something is not working properly in my Maya and I need to investigate.

Animation: Commuter Rushed Walk Cycle

"Yellow" is going to be late if she doesn't pick up the pace.

Modelling: The Percussion District Signage

Animation: Commuter Sad Walk Cycle #1

The daily commute isn't always enjoyable.

Modelling:The Viola District, The Terraces 2

Animation: Commuter Angry Walk Cycle #1

This is usually my mood when I commute so it felt right to start with this one.

Modelling: The Percussion District, Cranes

A couple of cranes for the Percussion District, no doubt these will bring more jeopardy to Reds adventure.

Modelling: The Percussion District, Hammer Machines.

Various machines for the conveyor belt of horrors:

Modelling: The Double-Bass District Elements

Digital Sets: The Oboe District

The Oboe District's set is now (hopefully) complete and ready to progress onto being textured. The river, buildings and bridges took quite a bit of tweaking, but it got there in the end!

YPGTTO - The Joy Of Collaboration

Just wanted to share this recap of some of the creative goings-on here on planet YPGTTO in celebration of the joys of collaboration. The scale and ambition of producing seventeen minutes of animation to accompany live performances of Benjamin Britten's The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra demands we collaborate effectively.  The visualisation and realisation of The Overture - the first of our animation's fantastical environments - has seen graduates collaborating with current students, and current students with staff - with exciting results!
