1) CG plastic plate
i used an environment of an ocean and a sky to light this plate along with the another light as the sun(Yellowish light in the top right corner). One of the segments is bigger than the rest which is kinda annoying. The material makes the plate look more like styrofoam instead of plastic.
(improved plate)
I made the plate feel more used by adding some heavy surface imperfections. I think this was a little too heavy on the imperfections and I didn't really like it as much because there are some spots on the plate where it loses its depth because of the weight of the imperfection (bottom left and right and even the top left a little).
Same plate with lighter surface imperfections to seem more like used plastic. I liked the look of this plate because it felt slightly used and degraded but it doesn't really have much color in it.
i kept the heavier surface imperfections as they made the plate seem more used. Just to show that the plate is plastic I added the text in the middle in red for now but I will change the color of the text. I added brown spots on the plate to make it seem more used.
Designs for the different art styles i can use and animate
Hand Drawn on paper
I liked the drawn using shapes the best out of all of them as I think it was the most simple to understand and it resembled the format of a 'meme' the best.
Test shot using the hand drawn bottle. I didn't really like this idea that much because I felt that it would take the watcher out of the video if they have to keep going from digitally animated to animated on paper.
same shot using the trackpad drawn
Testing the way keyframes work in iMovie. there is only movement keyframe and nothing else so i'll probably do it in the other editing softwares I have because I have more control of all of my objects.
From all of my test footage I don't think I will use anything other than the plate in my final product as these weren't executed very well and I would end up spending a lot more time designing my elements.
