Presentation - global bird

Presentation day

First thing i have to say is that i had no participation in making the presentation as i was preoccupied trying to submit Performance and character. So all the credit goes to Elena because without her this group of been a shambles and our presentation would have been a disaster. Thankfully we had her and I believe that our presentation went the smoothest and most professional in the class. I really have a fear of public speaking and i felt like shit going up and talking. What made it as worse was when i was explaining the tests i had done of different birds, i called our bird spazzy which i regretted immediately. We didn't get too much feedback, just really to test some composites together before we fully start animating and Joe said we should change the bird on the logo, but i don't know if we will do that. We did composite tests and had no issues so we could move on to animating the bird. All credit to Elena again, the backbone of this group.

Video Essay

I knew it would be best starting off before getting into editting that gathering some knowlege these two videos were pretty useful even though i didnt use any after effects but its useful to know that i can easily work between them Looking at other peoples making of videos as well as the stuff Annabeth posted on Blackboard i was pretty confident in what i needed to do. So i started writing down what footage along with what i wanted to say Gathering the footage was a bit tedious, and i tried to cut out footage that i didn't need, i felt like the 3 minute mark was a good place, not too long not too short. I thought id had confidecne with my voiceover but it was horrible, i was lucky that the room i recorded in had good aucoustics and it doesnt sound ultra horrible i was pretty happy with how the video essay turned out even though its a bit cringe

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,...

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...
