Starting the landscape- Castle brief

 Sketching

I plan for this sketch of the vines to be my top layer. I was going to leave the railings in that the vines were wrapped around, however I like the idea of the viewer to also be able to see through the negative space of the vines. This adds to that feel of trying to look around something or being nosey, peaking over the fence.


I will be using the laser cutter like I did with the proto type. I am looking forward to seeing this layer being cut by the laser cutter as there is alot of intricate detail. Even though cutting each layer out by hand is a timely process. With the space that is removed reveals where you will sketch your next layer and so on. I wont be laser cutting one at a time so I now need to work out how I am going to build the scene layer by layer. I think I will try using acetate to sketch on as its clear.

1st test piece of paper cutting- Castle brief

I want to use the vines I created on my previous page for my main piece. I wanted to create a simpler test piece to see how it will work. This link will take you to the process of my  paper cutting  for the lightbox. I am going to move forward with laser cutting my layers as it will cut the layers out alot cleaner and quicker than by me using a scalpel. I need to figure out how I will sketch up the different layers. I'm not sure how I will line up all the layers. Maybe I can use tracing paper so I can see how the layers line up.

Testing the lighting on test paper cut outs- Castle brief

 This link will take you to a video of the  test piece  and an audio annotation. Image 1- I covered the light source with white card Image 2- I covered the light source with white paper Image 3 has just the original clear plastic covering the light source I mentioned in my video that I prefer the second image, covering the light source with paper. However, under further inspection, I prefer first image, covered with card because the background looks smoother.  In the video footage you can see the ripple effect from the lighting. this is something I thought I would like but I think it is distracting and doesn't help with the illusion I am trying to create.
