Baghdad University Final

Baghdad University - Update

Still to be added: Opera, Monument

Baghdad University - 20 April 2009 - Edit

• DONE: Color of water too saturated, tone down a little (just the water)
• IN PROGRESS: water around opera house in 0.15 is too distracting
• DONE: height spires should be different
• WILL CONSIDER; the movie will play on a loop, so it doesn't really matter what is "first," just the relative order: order of scenes should be: first boulevard, then monument and then to the university and end with university (not back to island)
• IN PROGRESS: ship should be sailing boat not war ship: could it move? Also please no shadow under boat: it looks cartoony
• MAYBE; we were thinking of putting labels on the different faculties as we fly by (we didn't have time before to do all of it, let us know if we should do the labels: Archive-mention can go out
• MAYBE, we wanted it to look like a fly-over, not just another image pan: Fix distortion of opera house/island drawing
• IN PROGRESS: Please animate the water a bit more subtle and realistic

Baghdad University - Fly Through

Baghdad University

Lights, camera, action. Need more trees + boats. We need a simple kiosk model, monument model, and also the opera model.

Baghdad University Greenery

Sketch render of trees. Animation preview to come.

Baghdad University Automobile Perspective

This is a first pass at animating the automobile drive around the ziggerat - camera will be tweaked for less of the drunken driving effect. Flythrough of campus including the opera to come.

Baghdad University - Storyboard

An initial site outline of the University will begin to take shape as the spires and buildings emerge out of the ground, activating the scene with a diagrammatic view of traffic and pedestrian flows. Starting from an birds eye view, the scene will zoom closer to various points of interest, highlighting and interactively diagrammatically articulating its use.

Baghdad University - Automobile Tour

This storyboard describes the perspective of an automobile driver ascending the ramp which gives access to the university's faculty buildings. Starting at the entrance arch the animation will bring the viewer around the campus in a full circle, highlighting and labeling the specific faculty buildings as they are passed by.
