On our first week of our second year, we were introduced to our new module; Animation Strategies. After looking at the module handbook we then were briefed of our first group assignment. The aim of this assignment was to create an 3D environment as part of a group. We were given a list of potential environments to create, so everyone went with their preferred environment and then from there we were placed into groups of 5 or 6. My chosen environment was an old temple. I was placed in a group with Josh Graham, Kharis, Adam Bell, Liam and Joe. We brainstormed different ideas and backstories for our temple and drew them up on a whiteboard.
Eventually we came up with the idea of a crumbled, aged temple with archways, trees and a rugged landscape surrounding it. There would be stone pillars with Celtic engravings and everything would surround our focal point, which was an altar. After coming up with the idea, we started to work on concepts very early on. Everyone had their own ideas at this point about the temple structure and the focal point.
