Turning Point

After the meeting with Jared today, our plan has been changed to make paper city. Inspired by Thomas Heatherwick's The Rolling Bridge,  Sittoterie II and etc, we moved on to origami and recycled objects.
For example, news paper textured building, flying origami bird or butter fly or toilet paper roll city.
So I searched about paper works.

Back to Michel Gondry's the Science of Sleep, the toilet paper roll city is very good reference for our
project now. 

Danish paper sculptor Peter Callesen's works

Belgium handy graphic artist Julien Vallee's work
his works are so amazing. It looks like photoshop or illustrator art work but it IS actually in real world.

Designing ferris wheel

Based on the london eye, I have been thinking about how to make the ferris wheel.
Unlikely old fashion ferris wheel, london eye's cabin basically turn within circular mounting rings fixed to the outside of the main rim. It will take time to rig or animate it. So I came up the design of cabin for my ferris wheel.

and I designed something very different and crazy shape of ferris wheel. It was from the meeting yesterday and Abs came up with making something totally different like "star".
After that, the Solar system struck me. At first, I was thinking about making cabins as every single planet revolves around sun and put roundy sun shape in the middle. However, it went too far and it actually makes really complicate. So I just drew it sun as a main structure and cabins as saturn and typical star shape. Also the way cabin moves isn't like london eye. It's like hanging cabins as old fashion ferris wheel.

London Eye Research

As I decided to make Ferris wheel like london eye, I went out to do some research. Unfortunately my camera lens isn't good enough to catch small details of london eye so I searched more pictures of it on the internet as well.

during I was finding london eye pictures, I also found this interesting photograph.

what a nice combination! I've never thought about making hot air balloon. it will look so nice in the scene.
