How We Fight A Virus


2/35

Introductiony From Dr. Klappas presentationI set my

mind look at how are immune system

fight a virus or intruder. Moreover his

explanation of how we fight against the

HIV virus.

y I tasked myself therefore to produce a

dark and ominous film to hook in my

target audience.


3/35

How We Fight...The lymph node is where the attack begins for both the HIV Virus and the White Blood cells.

Whilst the HIV attaches itself to a B-cell, other B-cells in the system produce antibodies to

neutralise the virus by analyse the virus antigens.

In this circumstance before infecting the immune system the B-cell divides and multiples,

whilst the half which is attached to the virus dies protecting the immune system from harm.

Now the white cells attack sending the correct anti-bodies to attach to the virus neutralizing

it.

The Antibodies also act as a beacon at this point and signal another type of White Cell

Macrophage This cell begins to chase the virus and when caught, engulfs it destroying thevirus and destroying the attack.

3 Act Structurey Act 1

y The Virus travel through the system looking for a host to attach to.

y When insight the virus attacks the B-Cell an latches to the cells receptor.

y Act 2

y Before virus infects the cell it divides and the half which is attaches dies.

y Meanwhile another B-Cells disperses the antibodies which charges down upon the virus

y Act 3

y The Antibodies attach to the Virus via the Antigens and neutralise the virus

y Once connected to the virus, the macrophage identifies the virus as an intruder in the

system and attacks the cell engulfing the virus.


5/35

Target Audiencey My Intentions for this film was to be for

High School Children. More evidently thelater years due to the dark ominous tone

which I intend.y My evidence for this is in the success of

dark films such as Harry Potter,Twilight and in some respects TronLegacy which received a good responsefrom children at this age.

y My assumption therefore in this case,

that the correlation of these moviesstyles. Used in my work would gainbetter attention from the audience inquestion.

The Storyboardy The Storyboard was an

attempt to make theanimation action-packed

to keep the teenagers

enticed.

Concept Arty The concept art was a vital

element which allowed to

play around with the feel

of this animation and no

doubt became the

element which i took my

brainchild of this featurebeing dark and ominous.


14/35

Concept 1I saw this image as my

beginning structure

allowin

g me to en

gagewith the environment

which I want. As you can

see my subconscious had

already directed me

along the highlighting key

areas and darkening

others.


15/35

Concept 2I found my self with this

looking at the material

aspect and how the

characters and stage would

look. As you will see the

colour scheme remains the

same but the colour

schemes remains the same.

As for the character design

the majority followed this

image. However I altered the

white cells for a better effect

later on.


16/35

Concept 3In this final attack i looked

the animation of the white

cell attack. Inoticed thatthe my idea was to have

the cell manipulate it body

to engulf. However after

this Inotice the colour

scheme for design and the

shape when deformedlooked more like a tooth. I

turn it had to be changed.


17/35

Character DesignThe designs for attributes

came with a purpose to be

un pleasant and alien in

affect. Appealing to a

more dark approach.


18/35

The HIV VirusThe HIV Virus was a specific challenge as

Ineed it to appear both alien to the body

and slime and dark at the same time. Mydesign focused on brainstorms and

collated together their strength to

finalise design.


19/35

HIV Wire FrameFor this model the

wireframe was

complex due to the

use sphere and

motion of the

tentacle. However

due to this I could

achieve more fluid

motion from the

bending of the

tentacles.


20/35

Virus 3DThe result was the

following. I decided to use

a scale texture along withtentacles which are

pointed to imply an

unnatural being.


21/35

The B-Celly My Intention for the B-Cell was

for it to appear organic the

images to the left where tryin

gto achieve my notion.


22/35

B-cell WireframeWhere I could I attempted

to have less polygons. In

situation like these it waspossible to achieve as the

design was best made via

the actual material.


23/35

B-cell 3DThe B-cell was a tough

design. The Material was

key. The mossy growth

which appears on the cell

display my notion for an

organic look which I tried

to create again with the

Macrophage


24/35

The MacrophageWhen looking at the

Macrophage the initial idea

was to make the designmore of a predator but after

a closer look at it actual

image it appeared more

deformable and squid like.

Therefore I went with this

idea.


25/35

Macrophage WireframeLike the virus the

wireframe showed a

complex model and

the reason being was

similar to the virus.

The use for this model

was intent on

deforming both the

main body and thetentacles.


26/35

Macrophage 3DThe result was the

following. I wanted to

keep the B-cell textureand the main body of the

Macrophage to be the

same. However due to it

purpose I wanted it also to

appear to be able to

deform it self unn

atural,which I displayed which

the translucent tentacles


27/35

AntibodiesThe Antibodies where

simple to design and

followed the design from

diagrams and previous

pictures. However the use

of the bright blue was to

identify with the audience

the good vs. the villain.


28/35

Anti bodies WireframeThe Antibody was

againnot complex

and didnt need to

be high in polygons.

Therefore I limited

the model to 3

cylinder and

combined them

together for a

complete design.


29/35

The StageThe Stage was the are of

my animation and

consisted of a single tubewith blood cells flowing

through. To do this I also

used particle system

which I then edited via

scripting so that the cells

will rotate in disarray andfell more organic.


30/35

Stage 3DWhen textured the stage

represent the vein as a

cavernous area with lotsof dark spots. Again

compliments the tone I

was looking for.


31/35

Stage, Character and Lightingy To finalise my plan little

lighting was used and only

used to light a small area of thestage which included thecharacter. The idea behind thiswas to have a dark abyss thatalienates the action fromparticles gone by or other

animation which are no longerneeded in that scene.
