Week 8: Progress and Reflection

I think I worked really hard to complete the majority of scene 3, although there are still many issues that need to be resolved

I've started working on scene 2, however at a much slower pace. I do feel a bit frustrated as I had planned to complete this scene by the end of the week. Although I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, as there is still time to do so at another point.

Scene 2 is set in the same location as scene 1, along Pont de l’Archeveche, however it set on a sunny, happy day, before the war took place.

I created my own scatter brush of three different padlocks. This was a really time efficient method of replicating an image.

The screenshot above shows the result as I wanted to make it look like Love Lock Bridge

When creating the scatter brush, I also discovered the symbols tool, which has many pre-made shapes and objects. The grime vector pack could be useful in scene 1, to make the location look more dilapidated.

I was very much inspired by some of the sunsets I've seen this week. I love the bright blue, orange and pinks that are shown within the sky. Using these images as a reference, I created the following colour palettes:

I like the second palette the most, and I think it's quite similar to the colour scheme I used in scene 3.

 Here I used the colour scheme shown above to change the colour of the sky and water along the river.

I then used Photoshop to increate the brightness and saturation of the whole image.

So far, I've assembled the first three shots of the scene. As mentioned previously, this is behind my schedule. I think I would like to take a short break from animating and come back to it in a few days, with a fresh mind.
