"Tiny"

Between Monday 9th of August to Wednesday 11th of August I was in Cardiff / Newport working as production designer "Tiny".

From the facebook page: "Tiny" is a 35mm short film about a young couple settling into a new house and preparing for their first child.

This is the first time I've worked on a film set and I have to say I really, really enjoyed it and would love to repeat the experience. W started on Monday buying props and preparing the house that we were shooting in so I got to get stuck in right away with deciding on what props to use and how to place them. On the Tuesday shooting began it varied between a lot of sitting around whilst the scene was shot and the sound recorded and a lot of rushing around to prepare the next scene for shooting. Because of the amount of equipment and size of the house we had to store anything we weren't using in the rooms that we weren't shooting in then move it all as we came to use those rooms, and then I would have to make sure the sets were tidy and ready to go after all the equipment had been relocated!

One thing I would change is that I would have loved to have a bigger role in pre production so that I could have a better idea of what the shots we were trying to get before the day of the shoot so i could have planned a bit ahead.

10 design lessons from 10 years in games

Image
10 years ago I started working in the games industry. Along the way I've picked up a few things that I wanted to record (for my own sake!) and share with you. 1. Understand the problem before chasing a solution Don't be tempted to start designing a solution when the problem is not fully explored and understood, take the time to focus on what you're trying to resolve. Make sure you understand what the solution needs to accomplish then formalize your findings, write them down. Develop goals. Present these to other team members, discuss and amend them as required. It's always better to debate the purpose of a feature than to debate a feature with no obvious purpose. 2. Don't pop an idea before it's fully inflated When a new idea or feature is proposed it's tempting to start immediately identifying flaws or concerns. Avoid writing ideas off or designing fixes based on these assumptions. Although these concerns are likely valid it's worthwhile giving the peop

first building basic modeling pretty much done

Image
The basics of the first building is done! There's a few things in there that I would (will) probably tweak and change. I'm not 100% happy with the walls, some of them are too solid looking and need to feel more like they have been nailed together with scrap wood and sheets of corrugated iron. Saying that the basic shape and layout of the building is down and that was what I was aiming to achieve. Next I'll be modelling the walkways along the front of the buildings and hopefully making some plans that I can re-use throughout the level. What I am slightly concerned with is that it's looking a bit too much like a pirate town at the moment but I hope when I add textures and props that it will start looking more like a slum. Maybe I will add some more partitions in the buildings to give a more cramped feel. The most difficult thing so far has been keeping a consistent scale that can be traversed in unity by the standard first person controller and looks right. Overall I'
