DISSERTATION!!!!!!!!! ARRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately At the same time as doing this film project everyone in our class have also got a dissertation to complete BAD TIMES... it is taking its toll.. and to get the balance of work right is vertually impossible. I have taken a lot of time out of this project to concentrate mainly on my dissertation. I would like to share time between the two but i think that my full attention needs to be on my dissertation at the mo as it is due in on March....

HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS FOLKS I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED...... GOOD TIMES

Asset Modelling

Because animation is my specialist subject and i can't animate just yet because im waiting for the characters to be modelled and rigged. At the moment there is a lot of enviromental modelling to be done. As i am not one of the main modellers i am very pleased to have been given the responsibility to model the whole layout for the house. This week... 'i will be mostly eating strawberries' HAHAHA Sorry that was a sketch from The Fast Show!...... Anyhooooo... This week i have also modelled assets that will be in the house... it is unknown at this stage whether they will even be seen in the final film because we're not quite clear where everything is goin and where the cameras will be but we have to do as many assets as we can to bulk up the house just in case.

The next image is the assets placed in the environment of the house. As you can see they fill up most of the hallway.. so efectively even without modelling being my main specialist i am very proud to say that i modelled the entire hallway.

Back To Work After A Nice Festive Break!!

Not updated my blog in a while with it being christmas and new years and all that jazz.... but this week I have been doing some animation tests. However I have had to use a pre-rigged model that i downloaded off the internet because the characters in our film have yet to be modelled. I animated a short jump sequence just to keep in practise.. I dont quite know yet when I will be animating for my film so i am using these modells just to keep my animating skills refreshed.

FIRST ANIMATIC

This is the first animatic of the idea for our film. As a group we still need top finalise the designs for all the environments and assets and then the modellers in the group will start the huge task of modelling the environments over the christmas holidays... while i will be helping with some smaller modelling i will also be practicing animation with pre rigged models.

This is the animatic of our new story as i mentioned last month our story changed dramatically from the idea with all the crazy animals to the idea of the character sleepwalking. This animatic has been handed in on the last day of term so we will get feed back on it when we return next year.... soooooo..... for the time being we will just have to keep our fingers crossed, hope the tutors like our new idea and then take on board their feedback and make any changes neccessary.

In the mean time i shall love you and leave you because i am off to have a very merry christmas... i hope you have a lovely christmas aswell... or should i say HAD (depending on when your reading this) and i shall probably post another comment sometime in the new year.



GOD SPEED :)

Colour Scripts/Mood Boards? Whatever the weather

Colour by numbers

Kitchen Developed

This is the developed design of my kitchen idea. our group decided to go gor a specific style. (which suits my retro designs well) we have decided that the design of our house should be very stylised by having lots of angles in its design. (which i had in my initial assets sketches anyway, i think i may have been a big influence on houses style... wink wink). But anyway, the director really liked this design so i experimented with colour to see what worked well......
