Costume

Mcmurphy           Ambirious Free-spirited rebellious con man 

Chief Bromden    The novel's half-Native American narrator has been in the mental hospital since the end of World War II/ believes society is controlled by a large mechanised system / “the Combine” is an outsider sees the inner truth

patients who officials believe can still be cured. With few exceptions, they are there voluntarily, a fact that angers McMurphy when he first learns of it, then later causes him to feel further pity for the patients, thus further inspiring him to prove to them they can still be strong despite their seeming willingness to be weak.

Ps

It is interesting as I find how easy it is to use Photoshop through distorting or different layers to create and present a deep space. And also lighting effects could be changed by adjusting tunes of image.

SU model

I feel using SU is like building in autoCAD, the differences is it's 3 dimensional.

I started with basic buildings, and open windows on them. Then I find appropriate texture image online, after adjusting in PS they were put in to the surfaces of my model. In the last stage, adding more lights and rendering.

Texture Render

It's not easy to control lighting effect via SUpodium. So I created a space for tests in the same scale and texture with the original one.

Lighting

Before rendering, design and test lighting is an important process which is influencing the final effects.

Story Board

I was trying to present a realistic environment on stage, not only in aspect of buildings and furnitures but also considering about the emotions in the script.
