Final Video

My final video can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/77555217

Rationale

My final project works well for what it is. I would have loved to have a few more days to work on it and fill out the environment more (just a lesson in better time management really).
The camera shots found in Fantastic Mr. Fox are largely framed straight on and the camera is stationary. I tried to mimic this style of framing in my final video apart from the final shot in which I showed a larger portion of the environment. The tone fits with the movie with the simplistic styling and of course the overall yellowey-orange hue is present.
The positioning of some props inside the scene is intended to allude to the conflict scene near the end of Fantastic Mr. Fox (while also enforcing the fact that it is a venue which serves alcohol). This does not come across quite as clearly as I would have liked (again due to the lack of filling in the environment) but I think it does hint to it. The inclusion of some Bean Cider in the scene would have been a nice touch as well. In all though, the environment (mostly) demonstrates the intended goal.

Some in Progress Renders

These images show some in progress work on my assets and some structure of the pub too. The duplicates show minor changes in shape or texture.


I just want to point out here: I am so happy with these pint glasses! :P

Sketches

My initial Idea was to have all three floors of the Nag's Head.
Floor 1

Floor 2

Floor 3

Then I realised this was far too much to show in 30 seconds, so I am now just going to do the first floor. 
Revised first floor.

Here is a conceptual sketch of floor 1 from the right corner beside the front door.

Pub interior inspirations

Here are some interior shots of various pubs. Below each image I'll explain what I would like to draw on.

I really like the texture of the floor and walls in this one and I think it suits the Nags Head.

This one has the same sort of lighting you might expect to see in the Fantastic Mr Fox.

This one has a sort of 'real' rustic feel to it. I don't think I will include any structural stuff but this is a good idea of what to include to make the space feel inhabited.

Good floors and furniture in this pub. This one also feels kind of 'cosy' and based on the exterior of the Nag's Head, that is what I am aiming for.

This pub has some good examples of structural supporting beams which I can draw from.
