all is handed in now and the summer begins.<div>as far as this term has gone one word comes to mind "busy".</div><div>from the very start there has been a lot to think about, with the rave live musion animation, which then didnt go through.</div><div>so after musion dropped out i was given more freedom to put in a background and give the piece a more aesthetic feel.</div><div>rave live took a lot of preparation and pretty much soaked up my last two weeks, but it was worth it for the experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>as far as my animation goes i am pleased with the final outcome, the animating looks pretty decent to me and the scenery adds a nice situation. i had wanted to add footprints smoke trails and drag marks in after effects i tried doing this but i would have had to go back and render the character and shadows separately which was not an option with the amount of tasks that i needed to complete.</div><div>once the sound was added it gave the piece a different dimension and as such weighs out the special effects that i wanted to add.</div><div><br /></div><div>the showreel that i have produced i believe is a great showcase of my work and abilities and the interactive dvd i believe couldnt have looked any better, clean and simple is what i was aiming for and i believe that i achieved this through the case the showreel and the interactive dvd.</div><div><br /></div><div>as a whole this term has pushed me further and i believe that i have learnt more about myself and my abilities along the way and cant wait to come back next year.</div>Andrew

presenting at the exhibition.<br />i have also been helping in collecting peoples personal showreels for display at ravelive, this has been tricky as the majority of people have not done a showreel and some of the minority that do have them have iDVD (interactive ones) without a seperate 2 min reel. this means that for a class of 50 students we have around 13 showreels to exhibit at the

im currently animating the sequence but have had to cut the time line down, the initial storyboard when acted out came to around 1 minute this much animation with only a couple of weeks left will end in disaster. so the animation has been cut down to around 30 seconds this is much more achievable in the remaining time frame.Andrew

around and then opens the box, he is also going to be muttering under his breath as he is disappointed with his job . when he opens the box logos will then appear and fly off leaving one to fly around the character.Andrew

the main idea behind this project is to create a short animated piece that can be intergrated into rave live. the animated pieces must be ready to show on both musion and on screen.<div><br /></div><div>the animated pieces are purely to showcase animation skills, not modelling, texturing or rigging so it was an easy choice to use a pre-made free rig and for us to customise it slightly to personalise it.</div><div><br /></div><div>we spoke to branding and discussed the appearance of our character and it was decided he would look like a crew member only difference being the colour of the t-shirt as it is meant to be black. the problem with black is that when projected via musion it will be projected as an alpha channel and will appear transparent. this means that our t-shirt will be white, the original design for the shirts which were changed black due to dirt at the venue over the three days.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Andrew
