Back home in falmouth =D

Back in falmouth yaaaaay!!!!

In the first week we started modeling!! this week we only looked at the basics and i have a feeling i am going to have to practise making models a lot to remember where all the menus and buttons are. Though the first week was pretty easy as we learnt about the polygon shapes and at the end of it we were told to make an object i made a bottle (because it was the first thing i saw =D) and was pretty pleased with my outcome though think i need practise. Also had more time and made a random bunny/ odd shaped thing that didn't really resemble anything in the end =D.

Wednesday started with a bang as i thought it was just going to be lessons on how to use Aftereffects. But it was a lot more than that as we got told we were gunna be put into groups and have to produce a title sequence, weather map, sports bit =D, and a name thingy (couldn't remember what they called it) by next wednesday. Which was kinda mind blowing for me as i hadn't even used the software ever before!!! We did a tutorial in after effects after that and when doing this i saw that maybe it wouldn't be so hard (possibly) and my outcome was gd untill really irritatingly the whole thing crashed and lost my work even though saved it a million times!! grrrr! though it has taught me a lesson to always save a back up =)

Thursday we were given a brief for our next project where we have to design 3 background designs. Which i was excited about till i started drawing when i realised i cannot draw landscapes very well as i've always drawn people, animals or characters. So i am finding this difficult but enjoyable =)

On top of this we also have to write a 2500 word essay, which did surprise me because i thought it would be shorter but once i start it i think i'll be fine (i hope) and i've decided to do the question on CGI realism because it interested me the most.
