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, i try resolve situations if they do arise to best of my ability. This has been to detriment in the past i know now that you cant make everyone in your group happy. 
  • Complete Finisher - I think the complete finisher and the Evaulator have similar characteristics, as a concern i have is that work wont to be my standard and will be reluctant to let others do it, biting off more than i can chew.
  • Specialist - I know for a fact that i don't want a lot of roles and would want to pay more attention to 1 or 2 roles and give it my full effort rather being stretched thin and having the work suffer. 


After we went through team roles and the Belbin roles that fitted us, we found that we were missing an editor and an Implementer. Luckily for us Aidan was looking for a group to join and he fit us perfectly. Also I was really glad to have another guy in the group. Very happy with the team and looking forward to what we can produce.

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.
