Reflections Friday 8th May

Update

The past week, I have been under a lot of stress with the final modules which determine my success over the past two years on this course. On top of actively improving past work I have also started producing new pieces of work to add more bulk to my portfolio and to adhere to the brief more successfully.

With the majority of the work done of this module earlier in the week, I am just left with some time today to finalise my work and hand it in later today. As for my past work, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting back to leisurely, recreation animation which is without academic gain and is not adhering to any brief.

Additionally I intend on working on more briefed work to help develop my animation and to help with the flow of ideas. Although I am uncertain as to if I am going to actively pursue animation for the rest of my career I still think its a good idea to develop my portfolio and self branding just in case the opportunity of decision comes around.
On top of this, the final show is a few weeks away and if I actively animate in my free time, my final animation will be interesting and entertaining for people to watch.

Targets

This week in 3D I will try to

• Create varied walk and run cycles for my show reel and portfolio
• Develop the wolf animation into a complete scene 
• Model and animate a new character

This week in 2D I will try to

• Design the new character for 3D work
• Attempt some 2D animation, perhaps using a traditional medium such as paint or ink
• Create some plans for a stop motion animation
