Arrival

So as you can probably guess, i watched Arrival. Can i just say, i love how when designing the language system the original idea behind it was from the rings left behind from a coffee mug, so simple yet so effective! Just goes to show ideas can come in any form and from anywhere. 

I was looking a lot into the work of one of the artists on the team, Peter Konig, and in his initial ideas he had some really interesting ideas about the aliens design. He looked into the form of the creatures and what if that form was not consistent, what if it was ever changing, constantly rippling and moving whilst still holding a solid shape. What would this look like, and why would it need to change its form? Its an interesting idea that i want to look more into, what if my god figure could change its appearance? it would certainly help when it encounters new inhabitants of planets, taking on a more recognisable form to suit its needs.
