Final Project!

My roles for this project so far are:

-colour consultant and art director
-co-writer
-storyboard assistant
-3D modeller (China and England)

My future roles will be:

-Animator (sections still to be allocated)
-Explore rendering options
-Texturing (including UV unwrap)
-Titles and credits animation

My immediate tasks include finishing the models for China and England, rigging and weighting them. I also have to research blend shapes and rendering options.
I want to do a more detailed animatic of the opening sequence so I can start the credits and titles.
We are all currently in the process of doing some final tweaking the story, as we wish to take on board some of Kevin Geiger's ideas and advice.

Overall I want to strengthen my skills as 3D animator, and apply my experience in graphic design to this project.

Haven't updated for a little while! Been busy with CGI project and Business and Policy! We had our major presentation... and it went ok. We're a bit off schedule but luckily we have the holidays to pick up the slack a bit. I also want to help out with the props and colour scheme a lot during the break. We're missing a sense of style and I hope to get that coming across by the end of the holidays. Andi showed us a past student's short film (Tough Guy), and it was 3d but rendered to look cell shaded with outlines. That would be nice if we could figure out how to do it!

I've nearly finished modelling China but still not happy with it. I'll go back and edit him I think. Here is what I have so far:



I also made an inspiration splash screen for our power point, which I think captures the kitschy, retro quality of our film. It's based on sci-fi movie posters and book covers from the 50s.
