Which visions do we have in our perception when we think about future societies;
its design, culture and architecture? It is possible to create a tense and vivid image from our
animus and simulate that reflection?
Only when these reflections are visualized in the form of images, videos and animations or VR,
we can feel that the future is present.
In short integrating poetical ideas into visible or even tangible reality.
With contemporary visualizing tools its possible to create humming illusions of reality and
walk inside imminent creation.”

The pencil has hit paper.

Really inspired by the small islands of Herm and the bays and beaches around Cornwall. Just Gorgeous.

Ideally I will only dress the set at these “360” waypoints.
I’m certain the 3D production stage will be a lesson in self control because I LOVE detail…

Pinterest Board and Inspiration.
I’m sharing my inspiration here so you can see where my imagination has taken me.
It is not enough to just jump into 3D and hope something comes out. Does a painting paint itself? does a building design itself? No.

Concept Description.
You’re standing on a causeway. The tide is out.
The sun is about to set and everything is vibrant.
You see a very small island just off shore.
An easy stroll across the rock pools and sand.
You approach the island.
A sandy path meanders up and around to the left.
Flowers line the path and you hear birds and crickets.
As you round the corner you find a bay.
Nestled on the far side is a Cabin.
Your Cabin.
She sandy beach, swaying grass and brilliant sky frame the cabin perfectly.
After a short walk you arrive on the deck looking out over the ocean.
Seagulls. The gentle sound of waves. Beautiful.

For me, the most exciting thing about a cabin is its hidden isolation. A place known only to you. Somewhere special. Private. Peaceful.

That’s where I wanted to start. A tall order I know!

Pinterest was first on the list.

Special. What was unique yet simple? Location was important. The idea of having your own island seemed strongest. Tropical islands had been done. Rugged and Beautiful? Rocky? Windswept? Wildflowers? Lighthouse Islands? Yes.

Private. Getting to your cabin shouldn’t be hard. But where to put it? You don’t want everyone and they’re dog just dropping by! Hidden or “tucked away” was best. Islands with coves… Islands with low tide access.

Peaceful. Lighthouse-type islands yes. Rocky crag no. I wanted a beach you could go looking for seashells. Pick flowers on the hill. Your hill. Where you could have a BBQ, crack a beer and watch the sunset.

Now this is a reality I could get behind…

A “Virtual” Reality I could create.
