extrior props modelling:

There are several different objects that are integral to making our exterior set a believable representation of a 1950's American street. two of the more detailed and important objects are an Ariel for the tops of buildings and a billboard advertising a typical film of the time. 

These were the two initial designs that I was given by Ben:

From these two designs I then did my first initial design of the billboard:

this model turned out exactly as I wanted it to and fits very closely to the design that I was originally given and it also fits to the skewed design style of the rest of the film.

I then went on to model the ariel. I decided to create the ariel in two different ways:

first, I decided to model it in a traditional 3d fashion and made the sections of the ariel as they would be on a real one. for my second model, I made it in a flatter more 2d style. this was because I thought that if it is going to be high up and quite far away on a building it may not be clearly visible, so by making the whole model flat, it would be easier to see and understand.

these are the two models that I created:

By making the ariel two different ways, it will be easier for us to decide which will fit in better when the scene is complete.
