False Perceptions

Today I had a talk with Nigel about my project and where it was heading with the time that I have left and in terms of the meaning behind it.
A lot of 3D art is not about replicating real world perfectly into the computer, for one this would be a hard task and would take up a lot of processing power but it also just doesn't look correct when done theres simply to much going on. In terms of realistic games it is often more about creating optical illusions that create impressions of the real world.

Before Television Carousals, Fairgrounds and Circus's were huge they were once thriving with people who had come to experience something new and exciting. My Carousal is one within someone's memory, and the meaning behind it deals with the idea of perception. We hold are memories dear to us but in the end they are such unreliable things, we supposedly retain them in our brain for mosts of our lives and yet are access to them is limited, hazed by the mists of time. Memory related diseases such as alzheimer's give us insight to just how powerful memory is, the way someone can be shot back in time generations within their mind is obviously awful but also so fascinating.
With this in mind the Carousal represents an embodiment of memory, as well as of a memory of the Carousal itself. The Carousal and its horses decline into ruin is a metaphor of memories inevitable degradation over time as well as how memories can be altered sometimes tarnished by later perceptions.

We take photographs most often to capture special moments, we then use these to help us to remember these moments however a kind of paradox forms in which are true memories fade and then instead of being kickstarted by them they adapt to the photographs.

Uncompensated Light= A truer version
Dreamy, Sepia, old
Ridley Scott, memory constructed blade runner
tungsten lighting, take a photo without flash, filter it out
