This week we watched our presentations in class. We got some good feedback on our groups work, including the layout and there being some good analysis. One thing which I believe was a shame, was that there was some good analysis which we ended up having to cut due to time constraints. In order to show this work, I separately compiled a video showing everyone’s parts together as they originally were. The section I was covering was 2.22 to 3.55 so there was a lot to cover.
For the afternoon session, we got into our groups and started to brainstorm what we wanted our final project to be. We made some good notes, but some advice we got was that some of the stories were perhaps a little too long and complicated so they would need to be cut down to 30 seconds. We have agreed to pick our top three ideas and discus on Monday to see which is the groups favourite.
We also did some work on 3D animation. It was very difficult and at the start I really struggled to get the creature to move properly.
The first draft was very jumpy and I couldn’t get a smooth animation. I also couldn’t get the sound to import correctly so it was not a good job.
The second attempt was a tiny bit better. I was able to get the sound imported into the file which was something, but I was still not happy with the animation. I will need to practice a lot more in order to get my animation improved.
