Storyboard ideas and City Simulation

Storyboard idea

I want to finish our scene like this. Zooming out from the city, then it was just a maquette actually seated on the table in a gallery/museum.

City Simulation in maya

: I just made card house and some basic buildings to see how it will work in the scene.
I'm playing with lighting as well but somehow my rendering doesn't work right now, so I just captured the screen. The two pictures below are from earlier days when I left at uni with Loanne. The first one is the newest!

Matchbox design

 When people see box shape of buildings , they use to liken buildings to matchbox. It came into my mind while i was making city simulation in maya, so I looked up some designs of matchbox. The most cutiest box labels were vintage Czech matchboxes in 1930~60.

 

-> These matchbox designs are related to our city! It looks like a buildings but it actually is matchbox.  our city is basically same idea with these matchboxes.

-> These are the Czech vintage matchboxes. Love the colours and style of illustration.

Toilet Paper Roll City + Cardboard Car by Michel Gondry

I just realize i forgot to post the city made by toilet paper rolls in the Science of Sleep by Michel Gondry. There is a behind story of making this city. To make this paper roll city, Michel Gondry himself and his family gathered toilet paper rolls for 4 years!
I also added a cardboard car. We are planning to make a car for our environment but much simpler version. They actually helped our team a lot to came up the concept of paper city we are working on.
Thanks for Michel Gondry and his genius imagination.

Paper roll city

What I found in Copenhagen..

While I was in Copenhagen, I could manage to find major interesting objects for our group project.
They had a lot of clever interior and exterior design throughout the whole city.

↑↑↑look at that flying elephant on the wall!

leaves made by gem stone

interesting shape of lamp

Simple but geometrical shape of candlestick

Looks like a building but It was only painting on the wall. How clever.

These simple cone shape of trees with each different texture were scattered in the city
It seems like the elephants in london in this summer.

This picture is 2 years old. I went to Odense, one of city of denmark as well. The chimney textured with giraffe pattern and sculpture looks like tulip in the pot,  they are in harmony with buildings
