WEEK 4 : the pressure!

12 May 2016

The progress of the film so far has been fairly well, however i am worried for my group members. All has fallen sick except me, I am glowing with health. Nonetheless Everyone is doing their work in a fast rate. RAIN OR SHINE WE SHALL PRODUCE QUALITY WORK!

On Monday, we learnt how to use shotgun, for our assignment 1 I chose to do the seniors film intergalactic dance battle. While assigning roles to my "fake group" I realise the shortage of manpower and the intense workload of creating an animation. It kind of stressed me out and made me re-evaluate whether what we are presenting is too much work for us to handle.

Our team didnt meet up that often this week as we were all assigned specific parts to do, I was working on all the environments and so far i have finished all the line art. Now I'm moving on to colour scheme. I consulted Alvin our art director for his opinion and the critics he gave was very useful. I struggled a bit this week with my environment and had to scrap alot of my last weeks sketches. As it isn't my usual style and colours I would normally go for so I had to learn how to adapt to different styles, I think thats the reason why I am experiencing difficulties in producing work quickly.

I sought help from Karen on Wednesday to advice me on the colour and perspective of the room and it cleared my mind. She helped me pin-point the key factors of the certain style and i wrote it all down for future references.

I noticed that the workload is quickly increasing, all the other modules assignments have been announce this week and in order to be on tasked i decided to do a weekly timetable and stick to it.

HERE ARE SOME SKETCHES I DID:

Goals for next week:
Looking at my group mates persevere through their sick health encourages me to do more work, and i would also like to take on my responsibilities as i won't want them to breakdown this early in production. Next week is whitespace week where we have at home learning, hopefully i can get into the studying zone. My group-mates have been very open to each others opinion and i think i shall learn from them, all opinions and critiques are valuable.
