Time is moving on and term time getting closer! I set myself a task of figuring out which tasks I think need to be completed next. We have completed the blocking out of the videos. One of the team members suggested we check out a series of videos on doing camera work: https://www.hollywoodcamerawork.com/hot-moves-the-science-of-awesome.html Where I…
I went off on a tangent this weekend slightly as I am only discovering how cool the iPad is for Apps and also trying to finish a little course I am doing on the side with California Institute of Arts. I thought it would be a good time to learn about graphic design in this…
This week I tried to bring it back to basics with Unreal! Instead of going off on tangents I wanted to figure out how to do simple things like sound, putting in a camera, how to do an animation…. and also playing with it. It was probably the first week I actually just had fun…
So for the group animation project we needed to do our blockout as part of the process pipeline – to see what a simplified version of our animation would look like. I was tasked with showing the change in seasons and some dialogue between the main characters, the fairy and the clockbird. I really wanted…

Playing with the colours, textures and the physical dimensions was very liberating and a lot easier than having to start from scratch. Recommendations – I would recommend to finetune your pipeline if…
It was a slow day today.Back to college so the time was spent in class. Animation (1) We looked at Adobe’s Fuse and Mixamo software online. With the Mixamo animation, for our fairy movements, there is a “Flying” pre-set. So I applied it to my willing character “Stefanie”. There are 4/5 elements of the animation…
Tonight; as it’s a Friday night and therefore the nicer side of a school night, I had hoped for a more relaxed modelling session. That wasn’t to be. My main aim tonight was to create : A simple window(which would be the window of the clockmaker in our project animation, : a railing which will…
Tonight was about starting the task of modelling low poly items that would fit in with the Ghent architecture and street scenes. I have already identified the objects to model; they are objects like tables, windows, lampposts, chairs, clocks and railings. Sounds really simple? Then I remembered it has been nearly 8months since I spent…
