Finding a Music Composer.

Myself and Shuhel were trying to find a music composer for our short film Knock-out nutz. we didn't want to use the wall-e sound track we found which was perfect for our film. we asked the Sound Designers and Post-Production who dont do composing but sound effects. we felt that we were able to do that part our selves.

Double Negative: Visit session

Double Negative came to visit ravensbourne animation students. They presented their company to the students. what they do? and who they are? what they use..etc. They showed a showcase fo there work of all they films they have worked on like Iron man (2). they also let us in on what they are looking for to get work placements at their company. It was very motivational to see what opportunities are out there for us students.

Need to Start somewhere with Dissertation.

I found myself delaying the dissertation which was very important this term. I haven't done much on it so far and i only had 8 weeks to think of a topic and gather research information to help get the dissertation done. This was I big mistake I made by doing this. Myself and the group had to put the project on hold because of the dissertation.

Term one Reflection

So far the fisrt term has been very quick. Trying to make sense of a good story and design requires so time of experimenting. I beleive that the story animatic that the whole group contributed to is really good. our live action footage i made was very useful towards the animatic. Our main goal was to make sure that our audience understood what was happening and make then laugh/smile about time, which i think we did achieve. I think our concepts were safe and simple, but we didn't want to make things any more complex for us to do.

animation test pre-vis

Some Animation and model Tests/

This was the first time i have done a test walk of character for some time. I animated the character which i did for experimenting, getting use to animating with the controls and using the maya Graph Editor.

I also did a block out look of the vending mac to see how it would look like in 3d. I was also experimenting with the texturing of the surface.
