EXP 2- Intro Movie

The Pan- Original Volume

The pan, as shown below depicts the George Street building. I tried to focus on highlighting the height and emphasizing it. The pan goes from top to bottom and back and it shows a significant cross section. This pan shot sets the scene for the next two camera shots of the explosions, the pan acts as a "before and after" technique.

The Rotation- Y%

The rotation of the Y% model really targets the central shafts, I did this by spiraling down almost into the top of the building to communicate to the viewer that this was a significant part of the explosion. I tried to capture the vertical nature of the explosion by starting off with the camera looking down through the height of the structure and then rotating around to reveal the epicentres and the horizontal damage of the dynamites explosion.


The Zoom- X%

The Zoom was really about giving an overview of the building/damage and then focusing in on a point of interest. I began from a distance and then added a slight rotate to my zoom to allow more sides of the building to be shown. I then zoomed in on one of my three epicentres (dynamite clusters) to demonstrate where the carnage originated from and where it went. The Explosion itself (as commented on in the intro movie) obviously explores the idea of explosions within structures which is what I looked at in Exp 1. I wanted to expand on this and study the stronger and weaker points of the building and my X% illustrates my understanding of how the explosion would have taken place. The windows and lighter interior walls would be the first to be penetrated by the blast which would leave the thicker floor panels in tact (until the whole thing collapses!). The images of my Solidworks model document how the blast would have passed through the George Street building.
