Overall idea - VR and stop motion
Abstract/ brief outline of the idea
This project focuses on the first stages of testing and development needed to create an interactive, virtual reality, stop motion animation.
initial production processes needed to create characters for stop motion films and then capture these characters digitally using photogrammetry.
Characters will be sculpted digitally and then 3D printed, using replacement faces.
two possible pipelines
one will capture stop motion animation using photogrammetry
second will capture a stationary puppet using photogrammetry that will then be input into Maya and rigged digitally to be animated in maya.
The final stage of testing will compositing for 3D and 360 video.
will identify the first stages of production needed to create an interactive stop motion animation for VR.
Aims and objectives
What do you hope to find out?
3D printing translates to photogrammetry
Materials testing
Testing through practice
Technical pipeline
Research
Development
Character Design - Drawings - turnaround, expressions, build guide
Character Maquettes - Physical
3D sculpting
3D expressions - (ready for 3D printing)
3D printing
Building/ finishing puppets - testing materials
Photogrammetry tests - 3D scan, stop motion footage
Maya rigging puppet - Mat
360/3D Compositing/editing - Michaela
Practical work sections
Story
Draft story/ scenario:
Idea 1
Troll living under a bridge has stolen something the elf wants, the troll is sleeping, the elf sneaks in, the troll stirs and looks around, the elf hides. Troll falls back asleep, the elf sneaks again and reaches the object.
1- troll wakes and catches the elf, they fight and the elf escapes, the troll rors
2- troll wakes and catches the elf, the elf escapes and the troll looks sad
3 - The troll wakes and catches the elf, they fight, the troll is injured and starts to cry, the elf realsies the troll isn't bad and stops and comforts them, they split the item and share it.
Idea 2
Troll living under a bridge, an elf who is lost and wandering, slumps down at the bridge in defeat, troll sees and invites them into the home for food.

Notes/ things to consider
What the project is covering
3d printing
Photogaraty
In maya
Compositing for 3D
What in the making do I want to explore?
What do you hope to find out?
How 3D printing translates to photogrammetry?
Materials testing - What materials work best in photogrammetry?
What materials work best to make 3D printed puppets?
Testing through practice.
How are you going to do it?
What are you looking to find out?
What are you going to see?
Technical pipeline -
The plan/ schedule for making it all
Points to consider -
Why certain models? - why certain puppets?
Aesthetic? What is the aesthetic going to be?
What would the scenarios be? Draft story or interaction between 2 characters
Schedule? How long will it take? What order do you need to work in?
Character designs sheets - styles of characters, genre/ theme, types or characters, what sheets are needed.
Materials for puppets? What materials do I need? What materials am I going to test? Test materials in photogrammetry scans before making puppets with them.
What will you do with them? What will I use puppets for? What will the outcome be?
Project bible -change to a pitch bible/ project proposal instead of a research proposal
Possible Characters
