First Impressions

For the second half of this semester, we were told that we had to get into groups and create a short animation promoting tourism in Essex.

Once I had formed a group with 3 other classmates, we eventually decided that we would each take one attraction of Essex, create a 15-25 second animation for that and then transition them together.

Our group consists of:

Michael Walton
Daniel Alderman
Simon Mills
Tom Early


We did come up with a couple of other ideas which can be found on our group blog:

I am looking forward to doing this as I really enjoyed animating last year. However my main concern is time. It was hard enough getting a 3 minute animation done in 1 semester last year. Now I have to get one done in 7 weeks. While it is true that I am in a group and that the work has technically be quartered, I still have to run by any ideas with the rest of the group in order to avoid any clashes. We also all have to work together in ensure that our models are to scale, which could cause horrible problems when the time comes to animate. Hopefully, this shouldnt be too much of a problem, as so far we have all been able to work together without any problems. Only time will tell what happens.



I will be using this blog to post the progression of my work and will use the group blog to post updates of what we have accomplished that week. From now on, I will not only be posting my own progression on this blog, but also the posts that I make on the group blog. In order to differentiate between the 2, I will type the following at the start of each post:
