Scene "Bunker Rave" by Lisa Tobiasson, including: concept, architecture and environment design, 3D modelling, lighting, shading and animation.

Project Overview

LUCID is a first-person thriller game concept that explores the state of lucid dreaming. With inspiration from liminal spaces, the video consists of different abandoned environments that together compose a game trailer for LUCID.

Lisa Tobiasson’s Role

Lisa Tobiasson’s contribution to the project is the scene “Bunker Rave” (shown above), that brings the audience into the eerie depths of an abandoned underground techno club.

Brief

Prompt: Create a motion design piece related to gaming. The project is part of the course “World of Games” at Hyper Island.

Light Explorations

In order to create an eerie lighting that matches the game concept, various light explorations were made. For the final video, lighting with high contrast was chosen, as it provides balanced compositions.

Camera Movement Animation

A motion camera setup in Cinema 4D was used for the camera movement, to emphasise the gaming first person point of view, with bouncing realistic steps. The camera is animated with keyframes, to reveal different angles of the environment.
