Time Plan.

It been such a long while since my last update. I feel so stressful these days because too much different works at the same time. It makes me mess around everything. So I think it's better to manage time, write down every single works I have to do.
So here it is:

• AD207
• Work related presentation: I am going to do it right after I am done updating blog and try to finish it in this morning.
• My animation:
• Scripts: I am done it but the story changed a bit so I have to fix it. It won't take 15 minutes.
• Storyboard: It would be ashamed to say that I have not done storyboard till now but it's true, I just have drag storyboard. I think it will take me 2days to complete.
• Characters: I can say that it done and hopefully it has no more error.
• Backgrounds: I separated it to indoor scene and outdoor scene. 
• Animation: It would be a nightmare with more than 20 scene.
• Progress
• Toy design Presentation
• Evaluation: analyses what I've learnt in 2 academic years in 500 words. It will the last work.  
• AD205
• Portfolio
• Write commentary of individual portfolio pieces
• Showreel
• A4 research file: research about different types of portfolio, showreel.
• Evaluation of my portfolio and showreel.
• ScS: I thought that I finished this project but not yet. They want to change something, no it's not a change, they want to make some more and it seem not really easy. I will try to figure out at the weekend.

Ok, that's all I can remember for now.

Something Left, Something Taken

Something Left, Something Taken- Full Version from Tiny Inventions on Vimeo.

One of animations I really like the look and technique.

Bird and Balloon. Update!

I moved on to the second character Balloon.

The difficult part of making balloon is making string but I did it after few tutorial researches.

Bird and Balloon. ScS.

Well, I did not do much works for a week. The main reason is laziness, the other reasons is I stuck with ScS. I don't know what to do next. No, I knew it but don't know how to do and lazy for searching tutorial so I lost impetus for working.

I started feeling guilty for doing nothing. I decided to be back to my Bird & Balloon project this week.
After many hours feeling stressed out, I worked the beak of bird out. phewww...

I feel quite satisfied now but I should go back to ScS project. :)

Rough storyboard.

This is my rough storyboard I was done from previous module. I fixed the storyboard with 20 scenes which just need to be clear and change in some details.

AD206 and SCS

I was hand in MTV Ident group project then took a assessment week and I had a great opportunity to take part in a college work project. The project is about making training video for SCS company which produces carpet. Last week me, Sam, my tutor Paul and some other college men went to Wales to visit Carpet factory of SCS. The trip was more excited than I thought because I was so worry about what I can do in the project and this is a factory so it might be boring. However everything's going well, people in the factory are so nice, they seem very whole-hearted to explain to us how the progress of making carpet run. So now I can generally talk about how the carpet was made quite well ;) .

Back to school and got new module AD206 which related to AD207. In conclusion it's all for personal project which run during this year.

Hence, beside SCS project I have new module to work. It could be lot works and I have to try hard for some obviously reasons. SCS project is not my individual project, it effects to many people and I don't want to let people who believe in me down. For my college personal project, I really want to make at least one piece of work well done for the time I study here. I'm second year student, I couldn't study the third year in Newcastle college, so it is supposedly my last chance.

I sum up all works I have to do in order, then make a clearly plan.

AD206
- SCRIPT. done.
- SCRIPT TREATMENT. done.
- VISUAL TREATMENT. done.
- PROPOSAL
- STORYBOARDS & ANIMATICS. I was done a rough storyboard and animatic before so I just need to re-drawing storyboard without thinking and redo animatic in After Effects, last time I made animatic in Photoshop but couldn't zoom in or out assets.
- CHARACTER RE-DESIGN. It could be the hardest part or not. I'm not happy with my present character, I want to make it look like paper-craft character. It's just about modelling character, rigging would be same and I was done rigging and even though I have to redo rigging it's couldn't take long time.
- BACKGROUNDS. For the time of AD206 module I plan to design backgrounds of indoor scenes.
- ANIMATION. Just animated indoor scenes (from scene 1 to 5).

SCS
For the week my part is modelling 3 objects of tufting process. I will show it to SCS's man by Friday.

So from today to 2pm Friday is for SCS work.
Saturday I will write Proposal.
Sunday: Storyboard.

Group project: MTV ident

It's such a long time no update my blog. I really didn't have anything worth to update and I feel so lazy and  tired after holiday break.
However I'm back with an update about group project as I have to. This is the last week for MTV ident project. As every members in group I have to create a 3D character. It seem my only job for this project, so I try to do it best.
I finished to modelling, rigging and binding character. It is not perfect because I didn't make foot roll. I tried it but it didn't work, the feet was twisted after that. It was might caused the direction of foot null was not the same like it happened before with whole leg. I want to say thank Shaun for fixing my character's legs but I'm so tired of the problem so I didn't want to fix it anymore, I skipped the foot roll.
My character was complete supposedly. I did a walk cycle test below.
