Beach Bar Dancer

I decided to increase the brief to the whole length of the song, but as that would be dull and repetitive I expanded this to move into a new scene by having my dancer jump out into a beach bar with an ocean harbour yachts on ocean, trees and other plants. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with foliage tools and for this to be on an island I could build with mountain range to apply landscaping and material tools and river flowing down to the sea to apply flowing water and ocean as well as island shaping tools. This also gave the opportunity for a cutaway scene of a flyover the island and trench run to add excitement. The discission was also made to populate the bar with customers and thus supporting artist crows to add realism and atmosphere.

Inspiration came from the warehouse dance scene from the 1984 film ’Footloose’ that make Kevin Bacon famous, with wild action sweeping, orbiting, dynamic camera moves.

Concept sketches started the project along with photo research to get a feel for how to do the bedroom and beach bar harbour. In addition some of the action scenes such as the dive through the patio doors into the new environment, a baseball like skid to launch a beachball across the bar/cafe causing diners to duck and the trench run. The harbour was to feature yachts and fishing boats sailing in the background as well as mountains cliffs and a lighthouse.

The set decoration for the set build for the late teen 20 something male bedroom for an alternative adventure sports, snow and skateboarding rock music fan.

This was to include a high end gaming computer, babe posters, adventure sports equipment like skate and snowboards fitness equipment like pull up bars and a dumbbell work bench, scattered clothing, furniture like a bed, wardrobe and chest of draws, a pool/football/air hockey table and added a retro arcade game  for the ideal lads bedroom feel.

I added a pet cat which I thought could give a point of view into the room and background activity.

Additional rooms were to be connected including a working bathroom with shower, sink cupboard and toiletries, living room with sofa and TV and a kitchen.
