ksd6700 - Gaming Squid Missile: influences

I love wearing them on my sleeve, so this music video comes with some massive shoutouts to:

The Scene / The New Dance Show: absolutely what I was going for with the set design and the general construction of the video

Ugo Ugo Ruga (and other early CGI): big influence on Firedrill's art and character design for the vid

bullet time / virtual cinematography of the Wachowskis, John Gaeta & co

Mummenschanz

and of course the Backrooms / liminal spaces phenomenon: too many to link, but here's a recent fav which gave me some set design ideas

Just some gratuitous shots of Gale in the Adamantine Forge.

Conceptual series -- Disposable Camera

--

What if, during their first patrol together, Ellie and Dina found a disposable camera in a drawer at the radio station?

For those of you who’ve never experienced the joy of the disposable film camera, they are made of flimsy plastic and contain the cheapest consumer-grade film. They’re designed to take a single type of exposure, with a set shutter speed, aperture and focus, and the best shooting conditions are bright daylight.

Outside of the ideal shooting conditions, you need to activate the flash to yield a usable picture. Red eye is inevitable. The flash is also set to fire at a specific power, so standing either too close or too far from your subject means they’ll either be too bright or too dark.

It’s very difficult to get perfect conditions for every shot, so when you take the film for processing (to Weston’s Pharmacy, of course), the processing machine automatically tries to compensate for pictures that are too dark or too bright. The result is often an extremely crushed dynamic range, and a lot of grain. They look crappy, but that’s part of the fun.

After 25 years in a desk drawer, I like to think that not only would the film have degraded quite a bit, but the housing would have lost some integrity and sprung a leak. This camera has a very slight crack in the housing, which leaks light when the camera is taken out into the daylight.

Typically, there are 24 exposures in one of these cameras, so I have included all 24 pictures that Ellie and Dina took together, including the duds. Some of you may point out that disposable cameras didn’t produce a date stamp in the bottom corner — this is true, however I think it adds to the effect I was going for, and also since we know the canonic date that this patrol happened, I thought it would be a cool detail to include it.

I hope you enjoy!

Tumblr compresses large images. Should I make a Dragon Age folder in my Google Drive so folks can download full size .pngs if they want? Is there demand?

EDIT: I did make that folder haha! The link to my Google Drive is on my pinned post.

my pro art tip is that you are totally allowed to fudge perspective and proportions if it works better for the composition of the piece. most artists arent out here trying to perfectly emulate what the human eye or camera would see

Disposable Camera series, no.2: The Farm

--

What are the odds? It happened again!

Ellie chased down the boar into the abandoned gas station near Jackson. As it lays, wheezing and injured just out of sight, Ellie creeps through the darkness with rifle trained into the corner where the hurt animal sounds are originating from. Just then, a flash of yellow catches the corner of her eye. On the bottom shelf, an unused but usable Kodak disposable film camera sits on the shelf.

Same rules as before: a camera like this takes mostly bad pictures. And that's at the best of times. After 25 years gathering dust in an old gas station this thing can only barely function, and the film is highly degraded. We're including all 24 shots on the roll, including the duds.

The date in the corner is not canonical, it's based upon my best guess derived from the clues in the game. T-shirt weather in the Wyoming mountains doesn't begin until June (according to Wikipedia), though the nights can still be cold. Let me know if you have a better estimate.

Again, I hope you enjoy!
