Pendulum - Maya

I can really understand why all the lecturers call Maya the beast, but so far from what we've been shown and work we've been set, Maya seems to do most of the work for me. Obviously as time passes i can only see it getting more and more difficult. I feel like the the purpose of the pendulum is to fix in our minds the importance of arcs, also drilling in slow in and slow out. I've been trying to do a lot of research on pendulums by watching physics videos explaining how the energy transferred






.
The time of the oscillation remains very close the original swing, however the pendulum moves in other directions. I think having my own pendulum video for when i go in to stop mo would be most beneficial to me. So far Maya hasn't done me any pain, and the same for pendulum. I do think I've made the pendulum hang too much in the air for the first few swings. I went off a rough bar sheet i made (black line) and made what corrections to what i thought looked more natural (red line).


  
          
     




Fiddling with the graph is where i spent most of my time, and most of the time was spent making it worse. Playing with graph seems to be how to 'unlock' Maya, as everything can be done from there. I could of added more oscillations to make it more realistic but i think i leave that for future me who has more of an understanding of Maya and would be able to produce it quicker.

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...

Trying to give triangles life

I knew Chris was going to be in the afternoon lecture and i hadnt gotten much round to doing any character designs for script to screen, mainly because they were traingles and i didn't think it would be too difficult. When i got round to it i was struggling to give the characters personality and they just looked really flat. I experimented with creating more complicated designs using a verity of triangles but because the story i had in mind was light hearted and comedic i thought it'd be best to keep with a more cartoonty simple style. Howver i was still left with the problem of the designs looking lifeless When lecture came about chris thought it'd be best to go back to basics and focus on gesture lines and had us in groups create actions and to draw them out. I enjoyed working with my group, but talking to people after class it seemed like half the class didn't enjoy it which kind of baffled me Near the end of class i got chris to look at my des...

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,...
