Idea Selection & Gathering Images

With further input from other teammates and thinking about the ideas a lot, it has been decided that I will be modelling the third idea of Southend.

Having had awful weather all week, (November is not an ideal time for landscape photography!), it has not been possible to gather primary source photographs for my model. Realistically, the camera angles I will be using will not be achieveable anyway, there's no chance of hiring a helicopter!

Having thought about the idea a lot, I have decided that the way the scenes will be constructed, attention to detail will not be as important as there will be long distance shots, aside from maybe one mid-range shot of the train on the pier (I always overcomplicate things anyway, let's try and keep it simple this time.

Here are some images of the pier I have gathered:





I plan to model the pier and the trai, and maybe have an image of the park if it is included? Or a low detail animated version of the park's rollercoasters? (As it will be in the distance, will there be any point animating it?)
