Joe Caleno's Blog

  I have really enjoyed this project. I feel like I progressed a lot. Whether that be in time management or in modelling. I liked the freedom we had with this project. I felt like the idea was truly my own and it gave me the opportunity to explore different ideas and build a world.  I am looking forward to bringing the animation further. I am looking forward to texturing the models and adding more details. I found it hard to resist going straight in with detail when i was modelling them.  I want to work on lighting since that will bring my project together. It'll definitely help bring Dekilios alive.  I am happy with the outcome of the premise project and i am looking forward to expanding on it. 

 

  Part One Part Two Part Three

 Space Dekilios (Cirodom Basin) Blood lake The Dekilios Monster's cave Inside the Wonder The black rectangle is a screen. On this screen will say "audio only" and then underneath that it'll say "Admiral Wakataha".

Inside the Wonder, Yobi and Sangu are speaking to Admiral Wakataha. 8. The speaking device is shown on screen whilst Admiral Wakataha speaks.  9. The Wonder gets closer to Dekilios. 10. The speaking device is shown on screen. Wakataha says the call will cut off.  11. The Wonder enters Dekilios' atmosphere.  12. Cinematic shot of Dekilios 1. 13 Cinematic shot of Dekilios 2. 14. the Wonder lands of Dekilios.  15. Cinematic shot of Dekilios 3, the monster comes into frame. 16. Yobi and Sangu look at each other terrified.  17. Sangu presses a button. 18. The scanner takes a photo of the monster. 19. They take off immediately. 20. They shoot off into space whilst...

  Today, I experimented with sound. Whilst writing the script, I began thinking about what they could sound like. Above is a recording made in Garage Band. This recording for one of Admiral Wakataha's lines.  I also made this piece of music. Something along these lines could be the animation's theme song. This is could be the sound the Wonder makes. Another idea for what the Wonder could sound like.  Another idea for a theme song.

 Admiral Wakataha: "Ta masitu ki bana. Lavak iki Dekilios, kunka ta batafo kanu sala nasi igag". Translated: "The mission is simple. Land on Dekilios, find the monster and capture it's image". Yobi:"Udi taradoki". Translated: "I'm scared". Sangu: "Taradoki ika waka? Ta batafo etiti dinu". Translated: "Scared of what? The monster isn't real". Yobi: "Inba nas ki!" Translated: "Yes it is!" Admiral Wakataha: "Kada! Vakama. Uniko rawama sosu wil Dekilios".  Translated: "Stop! focus! You're getting close to Dekilios". Yobi: "Amika?" Translated: "Admiral?" Yobi: "Amikal!" Translated: "Admiral?" Admiral Wakataha: "Edo vakei yayabo ismolom doda-" Translated:"We will lose connection any-" - The call with Admiral Wakataha ends.  -The ship enters Dekilios' atomsphere. -The Wonder lands on Dekilios. Yobi: U tuka uni!...

 On top of the control panel, inside the cockpit of the Wonder, there is a little photo of Yobi and Sangu's home settlement, Linbusa. Linbusa is in the province of Tutoa on Attozigi. The photo is there is to keep the brothers' mind at ease. They're never far from home even when they're thousands of miles away. 

 

 

 The Wonder's cockpit is inside the green dome. When I start modelling the interior, I might decide to make a lot of changes.  Sketches Somewhere in the ship there will be a communication gadget. Yobi and Sangu use this gadget to speak to Admiral Wakataha in the animation. I am not sure what this gadget will look like just yet. I could maybe make it a screen where a photo of the admiral will be displayed while the call is connected. Or a hologram may be posible. Below is the first sketch. I also drew a hologram version.  I really like the hologram version but I will mostly blend it with the design that has the photo of the admiral.  There will also be a lot of screens and buttons around the cockpit as well as a joystick to control the ship. Joystick quick sketch.
