For our first week, we got taken through the module and what to expect along with deadlines and a week-by-week schedule of what we were going to be doing. After we were told what we needed to do for our Coursework 1 submission, I tried to think of different creatures I could model! In my […]
‘Ticket for Two’ Development and Outcome
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Research & Sketches -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- For our animated short, my group included Ellie, Miles, Janet and myself.
