For my Experiment 1, I had to conceal the letter N and the number 3 in my island. The initial type of island I wanted to make was a jungle- like type of island with dense vegetation and dirt paths weaving in and out of the jungle. I had trouble deciding how to hide and conceal the letter number combination on my island, but most of them include natural land formations (Trees, rocks, dirt, textures and clouds) and the placement of man-made structures and pillars (ie. the ruins).
I tried to make the letters as subliminal as possible, with glimpses of the letter or the number in each scene of my movie. The text that I placed in the trailer also acted as a guide for the viewer’s eyes, as they would either be directed to a letter/ number, or away from it, but the letter/ number would be in the corner of their eyes, revealing them to the audience, even camouflaged. Most of the letter number combination are only seen from aerial shots, which I aimed to place in my scene, but also could be seen from ground level flashing in front of the viewer as well as on oblique angles as I place the trailer camera, showing the viewer that the letter/number would only be seen at a specific angle or specific time of day.
This assignment was tedious and it was very, very hard to keep a constant and efficient workflow during it, because Cry Engine had been down and caused many file corruptions and program crashes, that it had been very discouraging and frustrating to keep up with the weekly tasks and to progressively model my terrain and cry engine level. I had to start my level three times due to this file corruption, and it was a true annoyance to model them all up again.
With my first assignment done, and Cry Engine working again as the Crytek website is up again, I can now concentrate on Experiment 2 with more experience and knowledge of Cry Engine, to make a much more better trailer and a much more better level than this one.
