concept proposal 2.1

Breaking News!! Aliens Found In New York!!
An account of alien encounter has been reported in Queens, New York by a 17 year old teenager this morning. The teenager, who wishes to remain anonymous, claimed to have waken up by a chirping sound in the room and woke up to see a tiny birdlike creature standing in the middle of her room. Wanting to take a closer look, the teenager stood up, but the creature took off immediately, exiting the room and was never seen again. The teenger stated," It just flew right out of my door. Not really high, but it really did fly. Actually it was kind of cute. Kind of looked like a bird, but I definitely saw a rat's tail." A various group of scientists, including the renowned genomic scientist Dr. Andrew Hoover, are now looking into the matter.

concept proposal 2.1

For my thesis, I would like to construct a register of alien encounters on earth. I would create a series of reports of alien encounters and provide strong, credible evidence, in the forms of photographs and videos, to support them all. Three-dimensional characters would be created in Maya and brought into footage and photos shot in the real world to be composited in AfterEffect. The ultimate goal is to make people believe those encounters are real. However, the true challenge is to make people think that all the 3D characters really do belong in the scene in terms of lighting and their interactions with real objects.

The target audience of this project would ideally be people of all ages. However, due to limitations to attain footage of big scenes, all the alien creature would be relatively small in size and more adorable in appareance. Thus, the age of the target audience would be younger. The setting of each scene will also be small in scale, such as under a bed or on a desk.
