Revised SketchUp Model

I am much happier with this model, its been a grueling journey but I am pleased with the result and I think it will be really interesting to explore and animate. I have also multiplied the light boxes so it will be more interesting. 

Revised model

Due to issues with saving my model I have re done my model in sketch up. To do this I have reverted to my original model which is more wide angles as opposed to sharp exaggerated angles so it is of tidier construction and hopefully translates better. I have also revised my animation concept.

Beach Balls

I have been having consistent issues with the translation from SketchUp into CryEngine, I have had to redo my model in cry engine so many times and have tweaked my SketchUp model too. It works fine when I'm on it, however, when I reopen it it beach balls. I think it it the construction of my model in sketch up so i have decide to remake it and be meticulous about construction and faces. 

100 Words

I have quite a clear end product in mind for the animation and feeling of my movie. I have already found my music, a song called the Great Escape by New Zealand band Farah Loux, and I know them so they have given me permission to use the song in my work. I want my movie to be one of exploration and discovery, I want it to be exciting. The idea of the guiding light is one that reminded me of an excerpt from a book which I will post when I find the passage. I want the tone of the movie to reflect wonder and curiosity and I think the song I have chosen compliments that idea well. I also have a very definite beginning middle and end.
