Second group session for "the city"

The group session today was a mix of good and bad. The good is that we finalised that the the focus of our animation would be on homelessness, and Annabeth mentioned the big issue magazine. Indya jumped on that idea, obviously excited by it. Me and Poli didn't have a clue what it was and was shocked to find out that it was an organisation that helps homeless people get back on their feet by encouraging them to sell magazines instead of begging, their motto; working not begging.

The bad of the group session was us coming to that conclusion.

We spent so much of the group session trying to explain our ideas and each member of the group had a different way of explaining and we all were struggling to understand each other. I can see this being a real issue because we were all getting frustrated that the group wasn't understanding each other's ideas and when we did understand, the ideas weren't always agreed upon. I wanted everyone's ideas to be apparent in the animation so everyone is engaged and motivated to work together.

I hope that everyone really pushes what they want in the animation and don't feel that they can't express what they want. After this group session I get the feeling that will happen so I need to try to get the harmony in the group again.

Furthering into perspective

Im coming closer to realisation that storyboarding is a field that i want to keep exploring. This past semester we been tasked with a range of different mediums and techniuiqes which has been super challenging, requiring me to learn something new. The only problem I've had is that I get so tired from the research, I dont have the power to work and produce work I'm happy with. This is a minor problem as i know over time i'll become way more adpet and will have a much smoother workflow. I can say though that because of all this research time, I fallen back in love with drawing again. Maybe it has something to do with chris' life drawing classes but im actually drawing for fun again, and this is a feeling that i havent had for year. I'm trying drawing to become my new form of procrastination, because my mind just loves putting off work. This is a kind of 'procrastinion i did, when i should of been trying to do some modelling in maya i wanted to draw more s...

Animation Context

The first actual lecture of university was what i expected, a briefing of our first module. Most of the lecture consisted of Johnny beating the Gibbs' reflective cycle into our heads. I can see why the university wants us to utilize this type of reflection and I will definitely refer to it when I am first writing up my blogs, but in time i know that i will have each area of the cycle memorized, which can only help in my writing skills and well as my own self analysis. This module is on going throughout the year and we are tasked with writing a magazine article about an aspect of animation we are passionate about. Initially my intimidate thought was to look at the animation technique of One Punch Man as it i know it is a particularly difficult style of animation and i captures movement and speed so vividly. I do believe i should do some wide ranging research and look at other animation techniques that intrigue me.
