Term 3 - Animation

The holiday has been slow. i have not recieved any work from my project lead as he has organised to pass work on at the beginning of this term. My other project links either had no work they could hand out or did not reply to my efforts to contact them. To make up that lost time i am going to have to work extremely fast to bolster my folders.

This term I have opted to do the following: -

Continue animating for War in Wunderland (my first set of blasts can be found below for BigBot in the city).

Letter animation for the Poet (this will allow me to use technical skills in order to put aniamtion into maya through other programs using various means - a post-production effort). n.b. designed alphabet shown below - see animation ideas previously updated in the blog.

Cafe de B... - i am hoping to do some animation for this project - namely the waiter i helped design - but over the holiday i had no work to complete from this group. I had asked several times to help model the cafe interior props but i recieved no feedback or reference photos with which to work. This was a shame as i spent the majority of the holiday preparing to leave university finding houses etc. than actually working on the project.

War in Wunderland - Here are the first blasts of Bigbot emerging and attacking Red before he retreats!





Lettering (Alphabet for the Poet)

This is the plain text (patterns to be added later and updated). Each letter has roughly 3 variants. (sticky/bold and bold curvy). The plan is to add patterns into the text and then add the text into maya or after effects and animate it. This stage is extra concept but the animation and placement will be aniamtion and technical .



Fundraising - Animation had a fundraising event the first thursday of this term to raise money for our end of term show. i had been asked to draw up a evil clown to be used as a poster flyer. this is shown below: -
