Wizard of Oz (Concept Art Remake) Key Art

VFS Animation Concept Art 4th and 5th Term and How it Was

Tarih: 2018-08-23
Kategori: Concept Art

It is time for summer break, so I have some time to write. I have completed  two more terms of VFS ACA “Animation Concept Art” program and one more term left. You may read previous terms via this link. Let’s start.

ACA Term 4 – Adaptation Project

This period is the sum of previous periods. We take an intellectual property and redesign it in our own way, we are free to do what we want in vehicle, environment and character design. (Note: In order to avoid copyright problems, especially the works are selected from more than 75 years ago, this limit is 50 years in Canada.)

For example, Alice in Wonderland but in space, or Zorro but a mermaid, Cinderella, but like steam punk. I selected the story of the Wizard of Oz to a far east-oriented and animal-like way. I portrayed Dorothy as a cat with a stick, a tin man as a teapot,  scarecrow as a our famous canuck the crow neighbour in our garden, and a Wizard Oz as a walking city. You can see the character details from this link.

With this project, I have found application opportunities in a project covering all concept art fields. Supportive lessons continued in the meantime. In Digital Painting, I chose a different subject. I portrayed a city under water. (Yes, Istanbul again…)

In Media Studies, we made our own Remix / MashUp video, starting with the VFS graduate Kirby Ferguson’un Everything is Remix theory.

In addition to realistic drawing lessons as a support, we have met with the Toonboom Harmony program. Below you see the lamp we bounced.

At the end of the session, we prepared a presentation for our final project. We will be working on this for the last two seasons. I chose a project that I think is one of the stories in my mind and will give me different design possibilities: Freelance Chicken.

ACA Term 5 – Preparation for Personal Project

The last two semesters will be a project that will form our own style which will be decisive for our portfolio. In this period, we had to be able to determine our style and what kind of project we were going to make in the last period. The biggest contribution of the school to us comes in here: to find our own voice. We had a personal mood reel in term 3 for this. A video from what we like without any license. A really useful work you see what you have to love and what to focus on. I have therefore discovered that animation is not entirely focused on gaming technologies.

I have also compiled many years of my freelance experience. I thought it should be a chicken story that traveled freely and earn its own money. Below is the story moment that shows the escape of slave chickens.

At the end of the period, we had to prepare an animatic with a key art that told the story. Below you see the animatic of my prospective project. I will coloring it next term. Then job hunt season will start.

      Actually, I can say 24 hours is not enough especially in last term. Every term, work load will become harder and harder. There is no free time to do extra part time job or etc. However, some people have some part-time job. But they also slept in class. To sum up, this is one year intense program. But it was worth. Good luck.

    Hey, thank you so much for sharing your experience. That’s really kind of you. I had a query regarding how many months does one ( international student) get after they have completed the course?

English translation of the pages for my international friends:
Title: Bewitching Intelligence, Episode 2: The Protests

1. So why are artists bothered? You see a striking comparison showing how the appearance differs when artist names are typed into the AI commands.
2. This means that without drawings by human artists, AI cannot produce any stylized output.
3. There are public databases like LAION-5B. Works by popular artists like @Loisvb have been added to this database without their permission. All AIs in the market started to produce works in the style of artists by taking advantage of this data. This is copyright infringement. 
https://laion-aesthetic.datasette.io/laion-aesthetic-6pls/images 
https://twitter.com/megraeart/status/1598806459004985363
4. So what do artists want? The artists rightly want their drawings removed from this database. The number of applications that use this data, such as Midjourney and DALL-E, are increasing.
5. What will they do? The Concept Art Association, led by Karla Ortiz, is preparing for an action. @kortizart @conceptartassociation
6. Their requests are at this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/protecting-artists-from-ai-technologies
7. I consider these demands justified. It is ethically wrong for them to feed AI with haram data and make money from it. Laws are lagging here too. I hope necessary adjustments are made.
8. Because AI has entered our lives and will not leave. AI can be a useful tool even with just your own images and public domain content. I created the images in this series with ethical AI and old photo editing techniques to try if another way is possible.
9. “ART = IDEA” -Steve Huston There has to be another way. Because art is an idea. The story is king and the stories emerge from life.

Title: Bewitching Intelligence Episode 1: The Go Defeat
1. Years ago, I wrote a passionate article on artificial intelligence (Bibliothec:2009).
2. The artificial intelligence that beat humans at chess had not yet beat humans at Go. In the article, I compared the subject with the popular chaos theory of that period and tried to explain why it could not be defeated.
3. Ten years later, the AI named "Alpha GO" defeated humans in Go as well in 2016.
4. But I took my part. From now on, I would not challenge AIs anymore, I would mind my own business.
5. When I couldn't find what I was looking for in engineering and philosophy, then I chose the digital art career path.
6. A news would wake me up from my peaceful sleep in my comfort zone called “concept art” and “storyboard”. A bloody AI-generated painting would return with an award from a competition in a fair.
7. Prompts are text commands for AI. Below are the pictures received from AI in response to these commands. Until last year, AI who made pictures like children with these commands…
8. By what time had he developed enough to win a competition in a few months? Beautifully drawn by a toast machine.
9. Will they take our jobs?

We will see.

Title: Bewitching Intelligence Episode 0
1. Hello, this isn't me, this is my AI-trained Surrogate (2009). (Cool SciFi Movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986263/)
2. A great revolution has taken place in the art world.
3. There is total chaos and uncertainty right now.
4. But art history has witnessed many such turning points. *discovery of perspective 15th century.
5. With the invention of the camera, portrait painters were negatively affected. *the first photograph, 1826
6. Digital drawing tablets had forced artists in the industry to break away from paper.
7. And the internet… With an endless number of visual references, artists are now able to educate themselves without going through costly jobs such as visiting museums, working with live models, going to distant schools. Because they had an endless mine of knowledge in front of them.
8. There was another one feeding on this mine of knowledge while we slept. Artificial Intelligence! (AI) It climbed from the bottom of the mass data mines and came to the surface.
9. Now, here in these few series, I want to talk about them with you… To be continued…

Storyboard, TRT tabiriyle resimli senaryo, benim tabirimle hikaye panosu, senaryo ile animasyon arasındaki bağlatıyı sağlar. Bu aşamada sanatçı, kamera açıları, araç gereç devamlılığı, karakter pozları ve sahne kompozisyonu gibi detayları belirler.  Animatikte sesler eklenir ve sahnenin süresi belirlenir. Artık animasyon aşamasına geçebilirsiniz.
