Now that we have come to the end of the year where we handed in our film in Friday just gone,
Ive take some time to reflect on the overall project.
I was very please to be working on Anna’s film with Dan
Cripps and Dan Ryan as we all get on very well with each other and know that we can rely and trust one another.
From the very beginning we all new our roles in the film. Me, Anna and Dan Ryan will be doing modelling,
texturing, concept art, while Dan
Cripps will be animating and rendering. We all decided the camera shot from for the storyboards to the block out as we could all discuss and talk about each scene.
The film as a whole has been very enjoyable to work on learning many new things like
texturing in
Mudbox, using render layers, using the render farm and many other bits. Am very please with the out come of our final film, as it shows off all our skills that we put into the film. Although we still have had our fair share of problems along the way with many things like the rendering farm being stupid, rigging problems and other technical stuff. What it all comes down to is the final animation film at the end and I think this is a good reflection of our 3years at
Ravensbourne. There are still a few things that we need to tweak on the film for the
RSA degree show as other factors out of our control have stopped us working on parts, but these wont be major changes so it won’t take too long.
Am glad that we have finished our film now and that all the hard work has paid off to produce what we have, but on the other hand a little sad that we wont be working together anymore on a project and seeing other people as much from our class.
Our only other thing to consider is entering our film into different animation festivals and to win as many as possible. :D
