Havent put much on recently but a lot has happened over the past few days...

I am now one of the class reps for the end of year degree show, which basicly means sorting it out in past years it hasnt been so successful with getting people in from the industry, this is hopefully something that will change this year. Got a lot of ideas about how to do it so hopefully they will work.

Essays and dissertation have also been getting a bit more time in them and im thinkin of what to write for them, my dissertation is pretty sound which is good.

With Splay and PO i have been doing various tasks and looking at other shorts mainly burning safari and oktopodi and the makings off to see how they have created ther work. some of the team members are saying dont look at it we wont be that good. Well your already shooting your self in the foot, you may as well try your hardest and try, whats the point of quitting now. Im definatly not gona quit and im gona make it my goal to try and get the films to look as good as we can through render passes and compositing, I believe we can do it, if gobelins can do it why cant we? What makes them so different to us if its workstations and power then we are just gona have to make sure we have enough time for rendering.

Ok in terms of work i have been looking at clouds for splay, they are kinda working but nothing i am happy with yet and it is my role to model Squ, Splay and boid. Its gona be hard a lot is on my shoulders i have been working on it today and with the aid of Edfley, Alec and Phil we have created a design the team are happy with at the moment.
