Remake of the Video Through a Window

This scene took a long time to create. I started with the basics, fields, trees, sheet ghost, backdrops, and various other natural elements, to show its the beginning with no manufactured objects.

For each scene after this I saved it as an incremental so I wouldnt be ruining previous scenes. for the scenes after id add more elements like a new fence, the starting of a house, signs of life etc.

Id then start to use the sculpt button on blender to start to warp and drag each part of the scene. for example, id make the roof start to sag inwards, panels on the fence wall fall away. grass would get overgrown etc.

This video is to show a journey from start to finish, but a sheet ghost experiencing it in a loop. as it gets to the end of the video theres nothing much more than the Fence posts that were planted on scene two.

so from the last scene it goes to decayed posts back to the first section where it begins again with nothing the scene but nature and natural elements.

I really like this video, I cant say I am new to blender any more but this was a big task and took lots of hours creating the scenes, mapping, texturing, etc, then to undo all those steps again.

the most frustrating part was the material mapping for each object, it just didnt do what i was wanting it to.

I also made a smoke transition for each 'stage' aswell, from one scene to another a white mist would cover the scene to unveil the next one. Obviously took this influence from the film 'A Ghost Story'

Diary Entry – August 1st, 2024

There’s something that happens when the sun hangs just above the hills, when the world drapes itself in long shadows. The fields that seem so familiar during the day start to whisper old secrets, secrets that were never meant for living ears. Today, something peculiar took place.

I decided to walk up past the old power lines again—God knows why, I’ve been avoiding that path for months. Something about those poles, standing so rigid and lifeless against the undulating hills, always unsettles me. Maybe it’s the way they seem to march off into the distance, like skeletal sentinels guarding some forgotten boundary. Or maybe it’s just the silence, the deep, unsettling quiet that hangs in the air, broken only by the faint hum of electricity.

But today, I found myself there, trailing along the familiar worn track, the grass wet with the remnants of last night’s dew. The air was still, too still, as if even the breeze had decided this was not a place to linger.

And then I saw it.

At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. There, nestled in the shadow of one of the hills, something white. Not just white, but a soft, ethereal glow, like moonlight trapped in a sheet. It was only when I got closer that I realised—it was a figure, draped in fabric, like a ghost from an old story.

But it wasn’t just standing there. No, it was moving, ever so slowly, towards a large, solitary rock. The way it floated—there’s no other word for it—made my skin prickle. It didn’t seem to belong to this world, and yet there it was, as real as the grass beneath my feet.

I stopped in my tracks, heart pounding in my chest. I wanted to call out, to shout, to do anything to break the oppressive silence, but no sound came. My mouth was dry, my throat tight. I just stood there, watching as this... apparition? No, it felt more substantial than that, something caught between worlds, as it approached the rock.

And then it was gone. Just like that. No fanfare, no fading away, just... gone. I blinked, shook my head, rubbed my eyes, but the figure was no longer there. Only the rock remained, cold and indifferent, as if nothing strange had ever happened.

But I know what I saw. It was real. I felt it in my bones, in the pit of my stomach. Something is haunting these hills, something that doesn’t belong in the realm of the living. And yet, it’s here, walking the same paths we do, lingering in the same shadows.

I can’t shake the feeling that it was trying to tell me something, something important. But what? I don’t know. All I know is that I won’t be taking that path again anytime soon.

Tomorrow, I think I’ll stay closer to home. GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Decent story though, much better than what I wrote.

More Imagery

After my formative assessment, Paul mentioned he wanted to see more work with lighting and for it to be more weird.

This scene took around 30mins to put together.

What's more weirder than a chair stuck to the ceiling and a sheet ghost almost looking for it. Along with UFO type of lights coming out of the doorways

The image below was supposed to be a camera following the sheet ghost while looking around the hallway, looking out of the window to see a intricate box gilded in gold and white spinning on all its axis. resembling pandoras box. I had also been listening to the audiobook of 1984 and the torture room which features in it gave me the idea to add room 101 to the scene. although I never went forward with the idea because it didn't really mean anything, the thought and process is still there.

Below is my most favourite piece I've created so far. a simple scene of a sheet ghost sat on a bed and slowly standing up, then it playing in reverse so its almost like the sheets are pulling the figure back onto the bed. This piece was inspired by the film Monsters Inc, although very loosely. The colours and shadows in some of the scenes gave me some inspiration. This room took ages to put together, using my own Ikea furniture as a reference to fill the room, along with subtle decorations to fill the wall space with films and media that have been inspirational to me over the past 2 years. Its a subtle nod to those creators and influences.
