Capstone Ideas Sept 3, 2012


I have a few ideas for my capstone project.

11.        I create a 3D animated short story with very simple characters.  The story will be that of a guy who has a horrible day in corporate America.  For example, he gets stuck in traffic, he forgets his work ID to get in, someone parked in his assigned parking spot, he gets rained on, there are tons of people on his elevator and the elevator stops at every floor until finally reaching his floor on a very tall high rise.  Finally, he sits at his cubical only to discover his office is closed for the day. Ha!


      2.     I create a 3D animated trailer of a screen play I wrote.  It’s a great story of a man who was crossed by his army buddies.  Things get out of control when Jon Maze, the star of the movie, girlfriend is brutally raped and murdered right in front of him.  To make things worse, Maze is framed for the murder.  Fortunately, It doesn’t take maze, number one special forces killer in the world, to break out of prison and begin killing those murders who killed his girl one by one in a suspenseful series of calculated and sometimes gruesome attacks.
  

    3. My main talent and focus is 3D modeling.  So I was also considering doing a showcase of my EXTREMELY detailed 3D models.  Everything from cars, motorcycles, to people, weapons, and animals.

  1. Idea 1 could be fun to flesh out, having situations most of us can relate to or at least find humor in. You banged out 7 idea's right off the top. Plus with such a simple idea and quick little vignette's, you would be able to really focus on the modeling, shading, lighting etc.. of the piece. Having 3D as a focus of my studies, I'm interested to watch your progression through capstone.

  2. I agree, the first option could be really cool since most people could somewhat relate to it. You also have the opportunity with that option of creating very detailed objects that he could interact with. I'm excited to see what you end up doing!

    Both ideas sound very promising and I can't wait to see what you decide to do.

  4. I would be most interested in seeing the third one. If you're going to maximum employer attention, I think it would also be the best choice for that.

    I think the ideas are great and within the scope of a capstone. I think creating really complicated models would be the best choice.

  6. Hey, Meredith Caudle here.

    This sounds like an interesting idea (I'm drawn to animation and story-telling so this caught my interest right off the bat) I also like the idea of the screen play so I have to ask, are you going to post samples of this screen play for peer critique/evaluation?

    Love the first idea, I've had a couple similar experiences whilst heading to work in the past. It's a story that's easy to relate to, since many people work in large offices and must commute to work
