To all three of my readers, i must apologise for not posting in a while, its been a hectic couple of weeks, which included me getting lost in london trying to find my car and missing a day of lectures.
I'll start with this week, because the unfortunate incident of me losing my way (and mind) around london, i missed the session where we were set our projects so i had to inquire with a classmate, luckily i managed to find out what we are doing and set about doing it(cheers emma!).
I had missed the recording sessions so i went through the videos a few times and decided that i liked Pete's v2 walk the best, it also seemed a bit more challenging to do than the others so i set about concepting that and adding a few of my own touches. I figured it seems a bit more appropriate to be pulling your injured leg along with your own hand for support as well as all time spent on the injured leg would be minimal and be generally quicker as not to put pressure on it. I'm trying not to turn it into a zombie walk as i animate it but if it ends up that way i won't be unhappy, it wouldn't be what i am aiming for though.
Our Visual Research Assignment this week was a load of fun, i hope i didn't ruin Finding Nemo for anyone and if i did, i apologise... Apart from the fact my actual presentation wasn't working at all, i managed to recover it slightly by the pictures i had stored in the actual work folder. It did make it look less professional than i would like because i did a relatively pretty flash presentation. At first, i was nervous, hell, everyone seemed nervous but a while into it i had gotten a bit more comfortable and my confidence went up a little. We did overun a little bit and had to cut a few characters from the list but overall, i think we got our point across and did pretty well. We'll see next monday i suppose.
I am still enjoying our history and theory lectures, the debates and issues raised are quite thought provoking and i feel like i always come out of the lesson with a new ideology or feeling for something.
I'd like to say i enjoy tuesdays workshop lessons as much as history and theory but i don't, the workshops and work that we are set is brilliant and helpful but i just can't seem to get to grips with the 2D stuff, my timing is all over the place and its difficult to envision how it would look when moving.
Anyway, back on this project, i roughed up my 2d man thing, really sketchy and i don't like it at all at the moment.
Cheers.
