Side Projects

• Radiant Tranquillity

 • Pre-Production-Research

• Meanings 

• Radiant

The term radiant can mean several things including but not limited to emitting light and/or heat it can also be used to say something/someone is beautiful/happy. For my project I will be going with the emitting light version of the term, i will be making something that glows.

• Tranquillity

The term tranquillity is when something is in a state of calmness and/or at peace, for my project I will be looking into the calmness side of this term

• Personal thoughts

For my idea on these words I thought having zen garden based model would be a nice idea, the zen garden idea comes from the fact they are usually seen as tranquil. To tie in the term radiant I would have a shrine like thing in the scene, this would have something about it that glows in a warm way.  

• Inspiration

The following images are examples of zen gardens, this would be the area that my scene takes place in. I would probably lilit the ideas size by having it placed in a bowl.

The next images are of obelisks this would be the focal point of my project, it would be somewhere in the centre of the piece. 

As for the idea of the bowl that the scene would be placed in, the following images are inspiration for that idea.
