How it went down

Hello and welcome to the very first page of....... MY BLOG! Da Da! This is the first entry to a weekly diary i will be keeping upon my developments of my group film project. It is lasting nine months so i have a feeling this is going to be quite a long blog. To get me through it i may well humour myself and and some jokes in which i find funny at the time but reading back will probably think, 'you idiot'.

ANYHOOOO first week (and a bit) over and it all kicked off with our individual pitches. Listening to others i made a mental note as to the ones i would definately work on if my pitch wasnt chosen........ seeing as it wasnt i had to pick another film i liked the sound of. Having three films in my head i went round and spoke to the three individuals who would be lucky enough to have my super-duper animating powers! I eventually chose the film 'Aztec Escape'. The reason for this is because the pitch was very good and the idea for the film was captured brilliantly in my imagination. The person who's film it was (appointed DIRECTOR) was Jono Price. A lovely fellow who i was very looking forward to spending nine months of my life with. awwwwww.

I had seen lots of people asking Jono to be in his group and in the end he had to turn some people away. So i was very privalaged that he excepted me with open arms. WEach person in the group said what they wanted to specialise in and so job roles were appointed.

Jonathan Pryce: Modeling and Texturing (Big Boss Director)
Daniel Hayes: Animator
Robert Sidney: Modeling
Jenny Morgan: Concept
Giles Pease: Modeling and Rigging
Ben Griffin: Concept

I was very happy when each of us took a seperate role, escpecially rigging as there are not many riggers in the class. So when Giles stepped up it was NICE... HIGH FIVE! As well as these being our 'SPECIALISED' roles we we be undertaking other jobs to make life easier. Obviously with me being an animator my heavy duty job will probably not start untill the second term so if i just stuck with that my blog will be pretty empty. So in the first term i will help with concept and work on the animatic to get a taste of the animation and timing.

FILM OUTLINE
I've rambled on a bit so i'l quickly tell you lovely people who have stuck around and actually read all of this so far, what the story is about. A guy runs through the jungle in search of an artifact (a very intense mood is set up as if we are about to watch an epic adverture) he enters a temple and has to avoid traps. The film switches moods suddenly and gains comedy value as we see that there are a group of animals setting off the traps while overseeing it with a comical commentary.
