Environment: The Creative Office

I decided to begin modelling my office, and thought I would base one of the desks on my own. The following renders are of some work in progress...and ive added in my lil USB bot to show scale etc:

That keyboard was a nightmare!

The Revised Project

So yesterday we had our DP3 Presentations. There were a few areas of my idea that were a little 'shaky', and the feedback from the session has allowed me to develop a stronger understanding of what is required, and what I can do.

I will still be working from the Iron Man 2 script, however my storyboard has changed slightly. The animation is set in a creative office where one individual makes cute, cuddly toys, and the other, metallic robot drones and creepy creatures!!!!

After the lights go out, the toys come to life and begin to harass the two 'poor' bears sat on the desk. They are chased to an unknown area of the office where an epic battle ensues. That's the basics...but hopefully I can post some visuals soon.

Anyway, to start things off, I began modelling a teddy bear last night for one of the roles:

First model for one of the lil USB drones:

Project 2

So, this is the start of DP3 Project 2. Wow, it's going to be a good one!

Ive been contemplating all Xmas over the film / clip that I would like to work from. The ones provided had some great potential, but didn't inspire me enough.

THE IDEA:

After a lot of consideration I think I have finalised a scene from Iron Man 2 to conceptualize in my own way. I have a lot of ideas for this piece, and we have a lot of time to make it our own. From the first animation project last term, i learnt a lot, and plan to produce a 3 minute animation I am truly proud of!
INSPIRATION:
The following clip I found over Xmas is the sort of work I would love to produce in the future. It has inspired me to make this next project the best I can, and i hope to create the same beauty within this in my own work:

WORK IN PROGRESS: 

So I went home from the lecture yesterday totally pumped about this project. I got to work on one of the bots...so here is a render of some work in progress. =)
