More good news ...

Not only is our film being used for the DVD title menu but now a still from our film is being used for the invites which are to be sent out to industry ... so so happy and proud of my group!

Film is complete!

We have done it! ... We have finished our film in time for hand in and it is such an amazing feeling. I have loved working in a group with my close friends as I thought we worked really well together with Phil directing and animating, Josh on modelling and lighting, Dan on sound design and myself on concept and textures. Although I have learnt that it is important for everyone to pull their own weight in the group and have everyone working equally. I would love to work with this group again as they are not only my best friends but amazing at what they do ... well done guys! x

Everything is finally coming together ...

Here is a sneak peek of afew stills of the final render of our film ...

CRAZY NEWS!

It has been a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions today ~ had some feedback from Neil which didn't go down too well but this was short lived as we got told that our main character STV would be used for the DVD title menu!

Raster Tests

Playing around with the tv scenes in after effects which will eventually be put onto the tv screens in maya as an image sequence ...

Credits!!

The end is near, Phil has finished all the animation and we are all getting so excited because we are seeing what the final product will look like and it is mindblowing to think we all started from nothing and achieved so much ...

I am making the credits for the film and creating them in after effects. I have always been scared of using after effects but after watching some tutorials and having a play around with it it has become my new favourite progam!! I love after effects and I am really pleased with the final outcome of the credits ...
