Anticipation - Maya

Today's class only featured Joe, Johnnys been off with family problems so I hope all is well with him. The day before, our creative play class was cancelled so we formed a group to prepare work for next session. However we didn't do much all day and Joe had seen us and decided to put us on blast in front of the rest of class, but I guess we deserved for being lazy but I think getting to know the group should help us produce work we all can enjoy.

 Also I told Joe that I broke a part of the tripod so I was feeling slightly anxious that I might be in trouble, but the way Joe explained to report these problems, it didn't seem too big of a deal.

 After class I'm starting to get into the habit of working in Maya. Maya holds so much to explore, finding all these routes to explore seems so daunting and strenuous. I do think once I have a grasp on Maya I'll be able to create work I'm proud of. I was in animation computer room with Paige working on the tasks for the week. She was working on pendulum and I was working on anticipation. We were both struggling quite a bit and were collectively becoming more and more frustrated as we worked. Eventually we asked James to come assist us however because of the speed he used Maya, I couldn't pick up on everything and it baffled me how he made it look so easy. I can only guess that it came from years of experience and it motivates me to keep working on Maya to reach his level. 




He showed me how to move the pivot to make it tilt up slightly. I had no trouble with the first movement but because I had moved the pivot, the next tilt couldn't be done. I gave it a spin in the middle to put the pivot on the end but I couldn't get it to look good or correct, in my opinion. It looked a bit dumb and unnatural.

Belbin - Making of

Belbin roles - Making a balanced team  Going into this session, I still hadn't decided on which group i want to join but Annabeth said it should be decided by the end of this session. I had offers from a few groups but decided to join up with Jolanta, Elena and Alisha as i knew i wanted to another attempt at a 2-D group project and i felt like this team had good chemistry and was full of talented artists. Annabeth explained Belbin roles to us and how these 9 personalities make a strong balanced team.  When going through the Belbin roles i found that these four applied best to me;   Monitor Evaluator  -  I feel this suits me well as i know that the critical side of my brain is over developed and have always thought i had sound judgement when it came to decision making. Working very slowly resonated too deeply and is something I'm trying to work on. Team Worker -  I feel that my social relation when working in a group is always good,...

Creative play with digital media students

The day began in the maker space, along with the digital media students. The digital media tutor called Mark explained to us that we were going to be placed randomly selected groups and make a tower only using paper and no other materials. My team was nice however they were quite quiet, me and Decland tried to lead the conversation and get everyone talking and sharing, they opened up a but but even by the end of the day some members of the group weren't really talking. The first task was building the tallest tower using only paper and no other materials and at the top of the tower an egg for fifteen seconds. I felt like only half of our group were trying to work quickly and because we were working at a slightly slower pace to other groups it hindered the potential of the final product. As a team we decided that it was best to have the egg protected so it wouldn't die.  With our team being number one we were made to present first, and then we were told it would be measured f...

birds eye view of a bird - Global Bird - Scene 3

Birds eye view of a bird - Global Bird - Scene 3 I took over Aidans shot, as he had a lot more work to do because lack of help from Alisha, and she had done a shot that was listed for me and i had already started it, the lack of communication from her and minimal effort made caused a lot of problems, mainly for Elena and Aidan. I knew the back shot i did of the bird had the potential to work in the scene. After my first edit  it still looked like it was nose diving still even after i fixed the size a added lines to make it seem that from a different angle. I don't have any working of this as i worked through this fairly quickly. After I showed it to Annabeth, she suggested the wings need a slight bit of altering and I changed about 3 frames and and the beak positioning, after i did this it looked much better. All that was left was the tail which was out of perspective now but after i fixed that the animation looked strong in my opinion. All that was left was to sync and...
