  • Eyes wide shut : A visual descontruction

    • KoKo5oVaR
    • June 15, 2014 at 4:10 AM

    Hey guys !


    I didn't really knew where to put this, but i wanted to share a personal project I am "working" on with you.


    After seeing eyes wide shut which impressed me a lot, but which was very obscure in my first watch, I thought there must be something more readable in the shots compositions of the movie.

    So I have started on a never ending project of selecting the shots i find interesting and deconstruct visually the compositions of the whole movie.


    I know. That sounds very monomaniac.


    Not sure if my method is the best, but basically what you have first is the clean shot, and if you hover your mouse cursor onto the picture, you will see a simplified/painterly version of the image ( so you don't have to squint at it ;p) which will let you see silhouettes, contrasts and colors more easily, and then with lines my personal interpretation of the composition.

    I say personal because they are probably not all just and i might sometimes interpret a bit too much, or not in a good way. ( I also wanted to add a black&white version to see nuances more clearly, but... but i need to think about it )


    So far i thought of just putting images there, i may consider adding text and more explanations on the art direction consistency (lots of triangles lololol), but i didn't want to get myself too much into influencing people interpretations. What do you guys would think about that ?


    Ofcourse there is no sounds, no movements, and they should be making a whole with the picture. So there's a lot missed. I may be reviewing my method because of this.


    So if you have any interest in cinema, photography... or even if you are a leveldesigner/level artist, i think that may be interesting to learn a bit about narrative visual and the uses of symbolic; in a Kubrick movie that is.


    There's just 17 minutes of the movie, and i found so much interesting shots, it's crazy, nothing is out there randomly. But damn that gives me a lot of work.


    Just the three scenes i made so far : (watch out first pic contains Nicole Kidman ass)

    Also don't look if you never saw the movie !!! SPOILERS


    I will be adding more scenes sporadically when i find the time, thanks for reading guys

    That's a shame, really wish they get it on tracks, this game has so much comedy potential.

    Lots of cool lighting refs for you i think, it's a cave in vietnam called "Son Doong cave". Like in there you could also have some trees out of the huge ceiling cave hole you have.

    You have to watch John Carpenter movies with a different mindset than regular movies His (old) movies are usually pretty awesome but horribly directed. He writes good stories and makes good tracks but he fucking sucks as a director.


    I always thought it was some kind of irony, he is just bad actually ?

    That's looking super nice Latteh, you make want to try myself to a Chivalry map one day ^^ ! I agree with FMpone on the lighting, you could have something so much better which could improve your work considerably. My nitpick is that everything is very illuminated and thus lacks atmosphere and contrast. Especially inside the cave where you could make the cave ceiling much more in the shadow.


    Also in the castle, you tend to have very powerful lights for what is essencially torches and candles. Maybe you should put many more light sources with a short radius, rather than a few powerful ones. I think it will make something much more atmospheric. Also don't be affraid to let some parts be in the shadows.


    Well you see what i mean : http://www.hd-compare.de/barry_lyndon/barry_lyndon_04_bd.png

    It's a good move since the ARMA 2 engine seems to really be limiting DayZ. But I can't help but feel they should have moved to a new engine from the start.


    Extrapolation :


    I guess they chose a shitty short term solution rather than a long term one because they had to get something done before the concurrence to get the customers when the hype was on.


    Now the dev team is stuck because of the decisions of their bosses who actually made the best business oriented choices. The people on the dev team who care about the quality of their work are now angry and depressed (especially the juniors who would have liked a quality game on their cv) because they now have to find a way to get over the mess when they could have done so much better to keep the reputation of the company clean and the future customers not suspicious. Of course they can't say anything publicly while under contract. Even after TBH, it's not well seen.


    Well if you worked in the videogame industry, you know very well what it is.


    edit : i feel so disagreeable saying those things.

    Oh damn that what i was actually afraid of, compatibility. That's what i was thinking about the case, but eventhough for the cheapest ones i still find them expensive ( like you said ~ min 45€ / 60$). I always had a lot of heat problems on the graphic cards with my previous computers, so this time i'd like to have a case well cooled which lets me add fans.


    Merci dans tous les cas !! C'est effectivement un choix ténébreux, et il est très dur pour le néophyte que je suis de ne pas tâtonner dans les previews hardware et autres forums d’aficionados. A fortiori quand il est compliqué de savoir si les commentaires, les notes et les previews ne sont pas de nature commerciale. Mais j'ai toujours entendu dire que la RAM, y compris celle de la CG, était le plus important pour le baking de textures et autres Zbrush lancés à bloc de millions de polys (~ 16go de RAM et la carte graphique adaptée en mémoire vidéo au boulot).


    Mais je me ferais aussi bien un peu de gaming à l'occasion !

    Alright this is it, the game is filled with hackers.


    After being shot through a wall inside of a building, and being chased by a guy teleporting himself. I was bambying around with a crowbar, and i met a fresh spawn without anything on him. I've been friendly and all, gave him food and the guy started chasing me barefisted.


    Awesome, so i ran for about 1 km with him at my back thinking he would give up, but he didn't !!


    So i took my crowbar, had a fight, hit him like 10 times in whatever part of his body, and he still wasn't going down. So i decided i will run and he will give up rather than bleed to death. And i shit you not, he was looking like a fucking blood fountain and i ran almost 5 kms with the guy on my back !! Then he punched me to death, laughed and insulted me in english with a little and high preteen voice.


    GOD.

    This week summary : Finally, the annoying ex-girlfriend dies. FINALLY. Jon snow insists she should shut the fuck up before dying, but she couldn't resist, and tells him how he knows nothing. Also a lot of other people died, but i didn't really gave a fuck. There was some cool giants VFX though.
