Mixed Reality Film Research
I met Alexandra. She is Peruvian and she has been living in London for 5 years. She is doing an MA in VR. She works with cinema 4D, Unity, and more. She explained me everything about 3D, VR and how to film things. We talked about the project and my references. I showed her some visuals that I had and she liked the project. I might work with her in this film. We talked about the aesthetics and how we could do and recreate them in 3D We talked about the references and how I picture the film.

Organization of the project
I have been doing some interviews and lots of research about animation and illustration. I am drawing almost everyday to get better at it and to develop my own style. I have draw some ideas for the films. Did some research in online resources, but I havent properly organized all the project.
Thats what I did today.
Breaking the UHB
Film Docu and Experimental Fiction Film
Character development
Experimental short film
For the experimental short film I wanted to show the landscapes I am gonna use in the fictional short film. The story will be different but I will use the same designers and the same landscapes.
In the experimental one, I am trying to make an animation experimental short film. I have some ideas about it and some drawings but I wanted to focus right know in the character.
I am getting inspired in a Peruvian model based in Paris.
I have been developing some illustrations about him.
He could be my character in the experimental short animated film. I want to illustrate him in different positions and cloths just to know him better. I might ask him later to film himself, so I could understand the movements.
Creative day :)
I am reading “The Seven Basic Plots” for my short film. I am starting with the Quest, taking notes in this virtual note app with the most important things for my story and character.
The quest talks about the hero and how he/her goes into an adventure to find something. He/her has enemies and helpers.
I saw the docu of Miyazaki and I loved it. I liked how he creates the concept board and how he creates the images. He can visualize the story with images and then he writes the story.
I am try for the first time to picture something like that, but in a pre first draft of it.
In the afternoon I saw the conversations in Vogue. I got some notes about the for guests. They were really good and helped in a way.
Another thing that I was trying to do days ago was to try water colors. I draw the shadow of my plants and then just put color on it. It looks like a mess maybe but I liked it.
