Line Map: I created this satellite-image-based, curated plan view of a three mile stretch of the Chicago river by finding spots of interest along the line to include, deciding what is attached, and what cannot be trimmed away. I chose the densest area of movie cameo spots; inspired by one of my favorite scenes from The Untouchables when Ness meets Malone on Michigan Avenue Bridge.
City Plan: Zooming in on a larger-scaled close up portion of the line map, where the most spots of interest along the river, I used rendering techniques of images, shadows, lines, and notations to map and document.
Drone View: Choosing a view of my chosen view of the Michigan Avenue Bridge and surrounding interesting buildings, I modeled the scene.
Embodied Perspective: This embodied view of the place on interest used the same model of the drone view but in a closer, inhabited range. I produced a hybrid of abstractly rendered context and detailed area of focus highlighting the specific movie scene I focused on with added imagination and alternative endings to build up the visual depth and character of my image.
