Week 2 back in Falmouth

The essay i think i have sorted out now as i have decided that i am going to argue that CGI animation has forgotten what animation is about. That CGI feature films are now focusing on trying to be like live action films than being an art form where you can animate anything and everything.

Our next modeling lesson we learned about the hypershade tools and at the end we made a playmobil toy box. I did enjoy this as i liked making an object that didn't just look plain grey and boring though can't wait to move onto something more complex =D though i am starting to have troubles remembering where all the menus are!

On wednesday it was after effects day!! and at the start i was kinda worried whether we would have anything to show at the end of the day but we did it!!! I think our group worked pretty well together and everyone had something to do so no one was left out. I really enjoyed doing the sports thingy and thought it looked really cool when i was finished and i was pleased with my self for the little experience i had using the software.

Thursday i showed Kathy my first background design

These were the ideas i had for my background design.



















This is the background design that i ended up choosing. I think it worked alright though to me the trees look odd (find it very difficult to draw trees.) i do like the flower being in the foreground because it leads your eye through the picture. Also the shape of the river makes you look at the whole picture and not just part of it.

For the next background design i am going to try and create it digitally
