Having scribbled out a shoddy picture in photoshop with Dan, looking at how we should frame the characters in the opening scene, I blocked out the basic tree shape that arced over the three characters as they run into shot. We took the tree block out and within the animation menu in maya gave the model a nonlinear deformer, which allowed me to animate the mesh to curve up, to quickly create a second shape for the tree.
Below I made some graves that we could use to block out some of the environment in the graveyard scene. They are basic, but we intend to add more elaborate graves with in the scene for a more elaborate environment.
FIRE EXIT
I went on to block out the 1st corridor room in the ride, where the floor gives way and splits the girls up. The room is very basic and is meant to be quite bland, like a typical lame ghost train, so it’s just rectangular with a dugout floor for the cart and a fire exit off to the side. The fire exit is hardly seen, but its there as an extra light source and to add to the element of lamenss, so the blockout is more or less close to the final version.
STALLS
I blocked out the stalls for the outside scene, using Anna’s original art work as reference. It’s very basic but dose the job of allowing us to position them within shots, so we can frame the characters.
COFFIN
I blocked out a coffin that will be in the graveyard scene.
