BSW - CAAyr2 - First Project Briefs

First Project Briefs

The first brief that we were presented with was the essay and dissertation proposal. To be honest, the essay sounds pretty much exactly the same as last year in the fact that we pick a certain media; film, tv show, music, etc. and link it to a theme taught by Umut. As a result, I feel pretty confident with this task. We have not been briefed on the dissertation proposal yet because of the fact we are starting it next year.

For animation, we were briefed on both toolkit 2 and the collaboration project. I am excited for the toolkit project as I know that is where we learn most about modelling, animation and all that comes with it. I am very eager to extend my skills in all of these fields. One thing I do need to work on however is my ability to work in a group. This is where the collaboration project comes in. We are working in teams of three, creating an animated short made up of different skits. It has to be comedic and at around 2 minutes long. I and the team have got the prompt of news report/flash. This is a really good structure to start with as a news report is a news report! We have already come up with some really good ideas and I am excited to put them to the test.

I am happy with the briefs so far and have not had to stress about it too much... YET!

BSW - CAAyr2 - Character Design Sub Tasks

Character Design Sub Tasks We were tasked to give character to things that already existed. I was given the Guggenheim museum which is a very unique building already with a lot of character. I have given the prompt military so I thought of hard angles and uniformity, which is something this building did not have... When looking at the building for a while and thinking of the prompt I saw a battleship. With the long platform and the bridge-like feature, I figured that is what I will turn it into. I am happy with what I produced here letting myself be creative and lose which I am working very hard on. The main problem that Justin had with this is that it was unrealistic... It is more of a stylized piece rather than an actual thing people would work on and use, which is fine because it was not specified that realism was wanted. We were then tasked with creating an interior of a character given to us. Mine was an Aztec priest so I started researching what that entailed. They used to ...

BSW - CAA - Finches Concept Art - In progress

Finches Concept Art - In progress I have been continuing the finches piece after the research I carried out and I have finished another finch. I have done this one in a more cartoony style as I am exploring my choices for the animation. It has bold, consistent lines and boxed colours to make it pop and it has a big eye that makes it stand out. As of now, I am swaying towards the cartoon style more as I feel like a video for educational purpose, it will draw more people in...
