I will use the interior and possibly exterior of Islington Mill as the setting for a series of short abstract animations. The animated elements could be quite a contrast to the surroundings or more in tune with them using textures photographed on location, or a combination of both. I want to show wide range of creatives working in the studios but also use the contrast between the old victorian building and the type of work that is done in it these days. A combination of more organic textures such as wood and stone, with slick modern materials such as plastics, metal and electrical elements such as lights.
By using photographic images I will give an immediate sense of space and location; with the intention of the abstract 3D animated elements of looking fairly realistic when composited into the scene. Rather than use filmed elements and tracking the footage in order to composite elements in the scene, I will take still photos and use camera projection to texture a basic 3D scene which will allow me to use a virtual camera to move around the scene and retain control of movement but not lose a sense of space and depth. I can then set the animated elements in a more physical 'space' and possibly have them interact with their surroundings.
