Planning

List of Documents/ Planning:

Modelling 3D Characters/ Locations in Blender.

To create the main aspects of my FMP project, using the Blender programme will help me create weird and unusual humanoid characters.

Creating & Designing 2D Characters in Illustrator.

To create the 2D side of my FMP project using the Illustrator software will help by creating weird and unusual characters.

Researching 2D & 3D Animations.

To get an understanding of how the 2D & 3D aspects of my project will look, so that I know how a 2D & 3D animation project is created.

Merging 2D & 3D Aspects into Blender.

To merge the 2D & 3D aspects of my project, so that the project will look interesting with two types of animation techniques blended into the same project.

Video Techniques in Adobe Premiere.

To use different effects to edit my final project, so that it will look out of the ordinary.

Different Audio Plugins for Music.

To use for the background music in my project, so that my FMP will sound otherworldly and unusual.

What Sound Effects to use in my FMP.

To use for the atmosphere and sound effects, so that the sound effects will be creepy and eerie,

Best Voice Changer Software's.

To create the voices for my characters, and to add filters and effects on them so that they will be different to normal human voices.

25/2/2021: Location Layout "Office Building":

I Included these rooms because they would appear in a standard office. The design/layout choice is inspired by my Dad's office and the office from "The Stanley Parable". I wanted to have a varied selection of room choices. Some of the rooms probably won't appear in the FMP but it would be useful for planning and ideas.

25/4/2021: Music/ Sound Plan:

For my FMP project I wanted the music of the video to either be electronic or retro. My final plan for the music was to use a virtual Orchestra with added synths. I researched a plugin called the "Berlin Orchestra Inspire 1 & 2" This is basically a plugin you can use with a standard Midi keyboard. I listened to the demos and I felt inspired and thought it would go well in my FMP.

My Final Presentation Plan:

I intend to shorten my FMP because I feel it will be quite time consuming and so I will need to reduce the story so I can finish within the deadline. To achieve this I will need to start working on the audio and the 2D aspects so I can finish within the deadline. The best way I can present this project is to upload to Youtube and embed the video onto my website with a brief description of the process of making the project. I feel like the whole video might take some time to upload, and so the solution would be to lower the quality/ frame-rate so it can be lower in size and quicker to upload.
