Home

Well, today sees my laptop arriving, so i am at home waiting for it (from 8-2) nice times) but it is something that i have needed for awhile and if college is going to be like yesterday everyday then it was a wise decision, we just couldnt find a computer. We did however get some of the production pipeline done i left Alec and Dan doing production and i understand a bit more about SPLAY listening to Phil and the atmosphere he wants in his film.

So, today i am working on some concepts for Polished Off, looking at Spencers blog i equally feel that the patients room will be filled with computers, signs and other objects. At the same time i would like to do a nice concept for Phil looking at Junk Food from last year there is some amazing artwork. Concept art is something i want to look into a bit more and strengthen my skills in, i know i cant see a change with a click of my fingers, it takes time but hopefully through trial and error i will understand key techniques for concept art and also broaden my skills in Photoshop.

A Fresh Start

The summer is over, which has been very productive and tiring for me with running 10day summer camps which have helped my communication skills to doing my own 3d project to improve my technical skills. The past week we students have done our pitches whilst i had a second chance with a new idea called broadcasting, it still wasnt picked, but it got praise from my other collegues and the tutors said ther were some nice touches to it but there wasnt enough substance to it and the story got flakey towards the end. I acknowledged this and saw where they ere coming from, but i was happy with my performance. There were some great ideas in the class and well done to those that got picked that im not working on all the best for this year.

Well, this year will see me working on two films Splay by Phil Brooks and Polished Off by Dan Edgley im very happy to be working on these two projects and im pleased with my collegues who i will be working with.

Speaking to the two guys it seems that i will be helping with uv layouts, modelling and texturing whilst helping out Grigsby with After Effects when it comes to that, or thats what i got from the meeting today that i will be doing.
