Ok, so i and talked with Ed tonight at the Animex Lounge and told him about the changes to the animation.

With the latest revision of the shot list he said that now i have an animation that works, im still unsure on the ended and i got the feeling that so was he but i'll do the blocking for the animation and send him a link and hopefully he will get back to me with what he thinks about it.

When i go onto the animation stage (again) i'm going to follow what i have learnt at Animex in the production techniques and the plan of action as it where that the big companies use in there projects.

Anyway, i just wanted to let you have a quick update on what he thought about it and what i im going to be doing.

He did say that i should try some different comedy as we have all seen the almost falling off a ladder and swinging to gain control act before so i need to use something that hasn't been done before (well, lets just say over used....something new is impossible ^^).

I'll be working on this after next week as i need to go on hold in production just while i get my CCA sorted as its a little far behind and needs to be done.

Anyway, till next time keep safe and keep visiting.

Well im not regretting do this during the lecture im in as the guy speaking is talking about everything im trying to work on at the moment and telling us how to do it really well. I'll just have to steel the notes of people ^^

Anyway i've now got a new and hopefully final script/shot list, i'll be running it past Ed later today and seeing what he thinks but i hope that things are ok with it.

If he does find a major problem with it i may need to just carry on with it and then in the next project take on board what he has said as its getting close to the end of the project and i will need to hand it in soon.

So my new one is this, let me know what you think.

Before you read this (just encase you haven't read the other posts) i'll set the scene.

So the animation is set in 1890's france at old circus, a young man called Émile is going to dive from the 60 foot call diving board.....The animation is in a black and white color sytle and using comedy referance from Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy.


So here is the new script/shot list......

Start with shot of poster of the high dive act.

Émile is leering over the wooden pool noticing how small and shallow it is.

(The look on Émiles face will tell the audience what he is feeling)

He puts his hands out and taps a leaf that is floating on the top of the calm water.

He finds himself struggling to lift his head and look up at the top of the ladder where the diving board awaits him.

When he feels he is ready for the climb ahead he places his foot on the ladder and in a very nervous state starts to work his way up to the top.

He continues to climb but with each step it becomes harder and harder to go much higher.

Émile suddenly finds himself looking down and comes to realize how high up he is.

(The focus on the camera skews as taking reference from the effect that Alfrid Hitchcock established in his movie Vertigo)

He quickly grabs hold tighter and pulls himself closer to the ladder so that there are little more than a couple of millimetres between the ladder and his body.

He gathers his confidence and keeps going still remaining close as he can to the ladder.

His footing gives way and he almost falls, while holding onto the ladder with one hand he struggles to get himself back in control.

He squirms around trying to get his hands back on the ladder (using Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy).

He manages to regain control and keeps on climbing.

He soon makes it to the top of the ladder but still struggles to compose himself and pull himself over the top and onto the board.

He takes a deep breath and pulls himself over while remaining very low and close to the board.

He takes hold of the railing at the top of the board and slowly rises to his feet, as he does this see finds that his legs have turned to jelly and he is unable to stand up very well.

He tries to hold his legs and make them ridged so that he can stand but this doesn’t work, he soon manages to take control, get himself together and stand up straight.

He walks toward the end of the board still remaining as low to the board as he can as he gets closer to the edge.

As he looks over the edge of the board his vertigo takes control again and his eyes widen and face becomes expressive of a man feeling sick.

He knows he needs to do this dive so he moves back to the ladder and crosses his heart so has a little prier to god.

He runs to the edge as if to do a big extravagant jump but as he gets to the very end he slows down and jumps off holding his hat and his nose and tucks his legs in.

So this will be shown to Ed later today and i will let you know what he thinks about it.


Anyway i will leave it at that and i will write more later.


By for now

Well i've been thinking about this a lot all night, since my last post and since Ed had his talk with me.

I now feel that although this animation is moving to a place that i wasn't planning on taking it at the start it could still be brought back but while still using the advice that Ed has given me.

So my new story is that Émile is the only character now, there is no bird (although i may go and do an animation including a bird at some point....as i like the idea for it, i just dont feel it would work in a silent black and white movie style i could be wrong), we only have Émile and his act of jumping from the 60 foot tall diving board.

He is still nervous about doing this act as his fear of heights is taking control of him, but he knows that he has a job to do and he must overcame this fear to do his job.

Using what Ed said i've made sure to include a conflict and a thought process.

The conflicts are Situation and Self, situation because he has a job to do but its on a very high level diving board and it is terrifying to him and self because he knows he needs to do it but his vertigo is stopping him.

Ed talked about how your character needs to have....

Action----------Obstacle------------Objective 
At the start Émiles action is getting himself ready for the dive, his objective is to dive off that board and land in the water his obstacle is his fear or the heights he will be at.

When he starts climbing a new action takes place and he is now climbing the ladder, the objective is still the same as before (to dive off into the pool) but his obstacle now is that vertigo is starting to take effect and its causing him to lose balance.

He continues up with the same Objective....(the objective wont change until that objective is complete or a new objective is found), Obstacle at this point is that his footing slips and he almost falls causing a new action of grabbing the ladder and pulling himself closer to it and wrapping his arms around it.

Now as i'm still working on this since Ed only just talked to me today and im not a writer im an animator, so im not sure on how to end it.

I do feel that i follow the rules set out quite well and i dont feel that there is one point in that animation where i wouldn't be able to pause the scene and ask that character "what are you doing right now", this is what as animators we try and create and i think i may have managed it (finally ^_^).

So i did a quick Character Profile as the title of the post might have already told you so this is what i have.

Name: Émile
Age: 22
Gender: Male

Height: 6ft 2"

Diet: Vegetarian (for health reasons).

Dreams: To be able to support his family and make sure they never struggle for anything in life and to make his mother and father proud.

Health: Energetic and lively, great physical and mental health.

Social Statues: Lower middle class, never has been or strives to be in a position of power.

Ethnicity: White.

Cultural Heritage: Comes from a family of French circus acts including high dive acts, tight rope acts and human cannon ball acts.

IQ: An Educational IQ based on a home schooling but a very high knowledge in performances in the circus.

Education: Home schooled by the people who work around the circus but didn’t learn much due to their basic educational knowledge.

Adrenaline Moments: Feel from the high wire when a small child which caused him to develop a fear of heights.

Sexual Orientation: Straight.

Physical Stature: Tall, thin and spindly.

Income: Low wage of around 240F.

Profession: Circus performer

Favorite Music: French accordion music.

I feel i can look at this list and see everything that is needed to be known about the character without any problems.

I'll write out what i hope to be my final script/story tomorrow during lecturers and then show it to Ed again and hopefully get a better response off him...(one that doesn't make me feel like shooting myself lol), but im sure it will be ok.

At the end of the day, and he said it himself......what he says is his opinion, just cos its coming form Ed Hooks doesn't mean that the word is law and you can't do it as an animation.

Everyone has different tastes and likes and dislikes......if we didn't there wouldn't be any variety, so what might be something that isn't that great to me might make the person sat net to me laugh there head off....its all about personal preference...("you can't please everyone, but its worth a try").

So i will update again once i get a reply from Ed.

Also i will be hopefully showing some work at animex party tomorrow, sadly all i have is my showreel from last year but its worth a shot at sticking a image portfolio in there and seeing what they say.

Anyway till then i'll leave you all and go get some sleep as its an early start again tomorrow.

Good Night World.

Well i piched my idea for FYP to Ed Hooks today and it wasn't to keen on it....although after he explained why it made a lot of sense to me.

Basically he said it would be better if i removed the boss character so that Émile had one objective all the way through the animation and i shouldn't have the photo as part of the animation as when he gets to the top of the board and the wind takes the photo he loses the power in the animation and the photo gets it as its the photo thats making him dive not himself.

So i went back to the script during the break and worked out what i could do, with the help of my mates in the Students Union while having food i got some new ideas and pitched them to the people around me and asked what they thought, a lot of them didn't work but there was one that seemed to be a strong candidate for an animation.

So i wrote this out and showed Ed again....

Start with shot of poster of the high dive act.

Émile is leering over the wooden pool noticing how small and shallow it is.

(The look on Émiles face will tell the audience what he is feeling)

He puts his hands out and taps a leaf that is floating on the top of the calm water.

He finds himself struggling to lift his head and look up at the top of the ladder where the diving board awaits him.

When he feels he is ready for the climb ahead he places his foot on the ladder and in a very nervous state starts to work his way up to the top.

He continues to climb but with each step it becomes harder and harder to go much higher.

Émile suddenly finds himself looking down and comes to realize how high up he is.

He quickly grabs hold tighter and pulls himself closer to the ladder so that there are little more than a couple of millimeters between the ladder and his body.

As he reaches the midpoint of the ladder a small seagull swoops down and starts to get in his way, he shoos it away and it flies off so he continues to climb.

Not long after the first time the bird comes back and starts to get back up to his some old tricks and once again Émile shoos him away.

He soon makes it to the top of the ladder but still struggles to compose himself and pull himself over the top and onto the board.

He takes a deep breath and pulls himself over while remaining very low and close to the board.
He looks up and notices the same bird perched at the end of the board as if he was waiting for him.

Slowly he begins to rise to his feet, holding onto the railing so not to slip and fall.
He edges close to the edge of the board in hope that the bird will fly away but it flies up and starts to pester Émile once again.

Émile tries to shoo away the gull for a 3rd and hopefully final time but in the act of doing so he slips and lands on the board causing him to be flipped in the air and propelled to the water below

So i showed this to Ed and once again he went over it with me and showed me what needed changing and improving, he said that although the bird works for another conflict i now have 2 stories, the story of the bird and her protecting her nest at the top and the story of Émile trying to do his act.

Also im taking away the power from Émile again and giving it to the bird as its the birds fault that he fell off the board not Émiles own chose.

So now im stuck with 2 ideas and both would be incomplete if i removed the other character from the plot, i like the idea that the bird is looking after her nest and eggs by trying to get Émile to leave her alone, this is something that might be usable and i might be able to get away with this.

Another option would be to have Émile and no bird at all or family or boss, i simply have to give him a fear of hights and that will effect him....using influences from Alfrid Hitchcock's movie Vertigo.

I know that this animation was set out to be a humorous animation with a little slapstick and playing on the characters emotions and this is no longer the case, i'm just finding it harder and harder to do this.

My housemate and i just came up with another option while i was writing this, maybe Émile is a magician and his Dove from his act has gotten out of the cage before the show has begun, and perched itself at the edge of the diving board and he's got to go get it.

I really dont know anymore.....i feel lik this animation is going a little out of hand right now and i really need some one on one with somebody, i mean im not an script writer or a story writer im an animator.....i find it hard enough to write let alone wirte a script.

I would love nothing more then to be able to come up with something tonight and go to Ed tomorrow and show him it and for him to say..."that works, you've got it...but what if....." i would be really happy if that was the case and i would feel like i have created something that can be really well worked on.

All i can do for now though is look at the script, look over the notes i made in his class today and try and come up with a story that has everything he talks about in it.

I know what Ed Hooks says isn't the be all or end all of everything but it does mean a lot to me what he thinks of my work, maybe its because of the way i see him or maybe its because of the things he's done, all i know is if i get something that Ed really really likes i might have a shot in this world as an animator and that would be by dream on its way to becoming a reality.

Anyway i best go get to work on this new script i guess as i also have meeting with Chris on Wednesday ....although depending what i will be showing him is all down to what Ed says about the work i have.

Maybe a 2D blocking pass of the new script...if there is one by tonight might help things a little....we'll see.

Bye for now peeps and keep well and keep animating ^_^

Well its taking me a while to work out what i want the final peace to look like but i think i might have nailed it down this time ^_^

During this week as i said before is Animex week, this is where a load of people from different companies in Animation and Games all come together at Teesside University to talk about what the company does and what they look for when hiring as well as other things.

Well during one of the lecturers i found myself inspired and needed to write down what i was thinking, turned out what i was thinking was what animation for my FYP will look like.

Anyway i ended up writing out 3 pages and im hoping to show the god that is Ed Hooks and get his thoughts on it.

Hopefully he will like it but if not he might be able to give me pointers on what i need to improve on.

So here is what i wrote.

Start with shot of poster of the high dive act.

Émile is leering over the wooden pool noticing how small and shallow it is.

(The look on Émiles face will tell the audience what he is feeling)

He puts his hands out and taps a leaf that is floating on the top of the calm water.

He hears a sound and sharply turns around to see his boss standing behind him and ordering him to start the act.

(Although his boss is half the height of Émile, the boss shows greater power and authority through his body language where as Émile is closed off and in a protective stance)

Émiles head drops and his body gives the impression of a school boy being told off by his teacher.

His boss leaves and Émile begins to get himself mentally prepared for the climb.

He finds himself struggling to lift his head an look up at the top of the ladder where the diving board awaits him.

When he feels he is ready for the climb ahead he places his foot on the ladder abd in a very nervous state starts to work his way up to the top.

He continues to climb but with each step it becomes harder and harder to go much higher.

Émile suddenly finds himself looking down and comes to realize how high up he is.

He quickly grabs hold tighter and pulls himself closer to the ladder so that there is little more then a couple of millimeters between the ladder and his body.

He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small A5 size photo of him and his family, he looks at it for a while and soon finds the inspiration and courage he needed to keep on going.

(This is so what the audience will have the idea that he is doing this for them, so what they have money)

He puts the photo back and continues climbing, suddenly his footing slips and he almost falls, this shakes him up and bring back all the fear and worry that he started off with but with the image of him family still fresh in his head he continues.

He soon makes it to the top of the ladder but still struggles to compose himself and pull himself over the top and onto the board.

He takes a deep breath and pulls himself over while remaining very low and close to the board.

Slowly he begins to rise to his feet, holding onto the railing so not to slip and fall.

Making sure to stay balanced be moves closer to the edge but soon regrets doing it as he sees how high up he is and how faraway it is from the bottom.

He stumbles back in fear and grabs the railing so not to fall.

After a short time he recomposes himself and pulls out the photo of his family again, but this time it doesn't help him, he still can't do it.

But within seconds of him taking it out the winds of the high heights pick up and blow the photo out of his hand.

He runs after it but within seconds of him doing so he soon realizes that he has run off the edge of the diving board and is on his way down to the water below.

(or is he ^_^.....funny is he missed, as for him falling, the camera will stop at the diving board and he will fall this is so that the audience a) dont witness the death if there is one. b) The audience can come to there own conclusions of what happens at the end. and c) so what the animation runs to the time limit set at the beginning of the project)

Well as you may remember from my last post i was going with Chris this week.

Last Thursday he contacted me and said that it may be better to have the meeting on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week instead, sadly i believe that me and Chris both forgot about this and ended up not having the meeting at all.

In some ways this is a good thing as its helped me get more done and work a little harder.

So in the next meeting (whenever it may be) i'll have more to show him and get hopefully more feedback.

Now on to next week, over next week there wont be any updates or work being done (well not as much as current) as its Animex week at my University, this means im going to be working on Almost finished work that i have yet to complete so that i have a show reel at on Wednesday at the latest to show to the speakers and visitors to the university, i wish that i was further with my FYP so that i could show this but due to major computer issues and problems with time management i sadly not at the point i should be by now, its starting to effect my other modules as well a little so its starting to become serious.

Taking time out for Animex may not be the wisest choice but its the better choice in my opinion for my future.

Anyway i thought it best to let you all now what will be happening.

In the mean time i've just uploaded some new images from my texturing work, its just 3 of the texture images i made to use in my FYP but its still something that might be work checking out.

Well, till next time have a great time and i hope to see you at Animex if your going ^_^.

Well im back at Uni now and the work load has took off again but im managing as best as i can so far.

I have had to make a little change to the things i am doing in the way of modelling for the project, basically im a Character Animator and i want to be able to show that in my project, the problem is that the modelling is taking longer that i had planned for and its going to leave me very little time for animation so i am forced to use a character model that i had come across a while ago.

From the model i will only be using the body as the head i will have to make so that it looks how i need it to, the reason for choosing this body is after look at the planned topology of my character and the topology of the body i will be using there are 90% identical and it would be as if i was creating something was already made (which i feel is pointless and a waist of time), i still need to put this across Chris but I would imagine that he would see it in the same sense.

Anyway i just wanted to let you all know how things are going as its been a while since my last post.

I have a meeting with Chris on Friday hopefully so i will update you all then.

laterz

Had my 6th meeting with Chris today. We talked about if the changes i made to the style of animation would work and what i would need to do to improve on it if there was anything that wouldn't work.

Basically, he said that he had no problem with the changes i made but he felt that all the changes worked by themselves but as a combination there is the risk that one will over power the other and made the animation fail.

To get around this i need to make sure i do a hell of a lot of research and only take the sections of the different changes that work with the others. this will be hard to do to start but as the research takes off things should become a little clearer.

For the next meeting he would like to see some texturing tests and storyboard/layout examples, also the character model as that was meant to be done by the end of last month but sadly things didn't work out like that and i have ran over a little. (ooops)

I have started on the character model and i hope to have it finished by next week to show to Chris and get his feedback, this year (unlike last) i am doing my best to take on everyones advice and so getting this feedback is a big help to me and i look forward to it and welcome it with open arms.

This week you should see a lot of updates from me and i hope you like what i have to say......remember to subscribe via email here and you will be updated on any updates the next day ^_^

anyway i will talk to you all later so encase i dont talk to you before hand, good morning, good evening, good afternoon and good night :-)

So ye i've been thinking about my project and thinking about where i want to take it, im still doing the dive animation idea but im changing the way i planned to present my animation.

I have been looking at music options for my animation and i have landed on the choice of French Accordion music, specifically Ambiance musettienne

Sample - Ambiance Musettinne

I think this is a lovely peace of music and takes me to Paris every time i listen to it, it just has the right sound and feel to it.

So as i said i have changed my idea slightly, the music choice has a lot to do about it. as i have picked a French peace of music i will be making the animation a french circus animation now, this will involve little in the way of changing things that i have already done but i will have to change to way i was planning on up and coming things.

I will also be using a film noir style on my animation now, taking from the silent movies and incorporating the black cards that where using in the silent movies



Before i can really go ahead with this i will have to talk it over with Chris and see if he thinks it will work at all and if i will be taking on more then i can handle but i feel that i should be able to do it as i wont have to worry about texturing since its b/w and i will be able to use that time on researching the silent film style.

also i will be trying to take some reference from Stan Laurel when it comes to the emotions put across from my character.

here is an example of what i mean.



Also a collection of Stan Laurel's Boo-Hoo fits.....hope you enjoy.
YouTube Link - Stan Laurel Boo-Hoo!

anyway till next time keep well.

Well today was my 5th meeting with Chris about the FYP, with Chris having a meeting for Animex sprung on him at the last minute he was about 45 mins late to our meeting but he made up for it when the meeting started.

This week was a group meeting, well that was the idea anyway...at the time the meeting was meant to start there was a total 4 people waiting (including myself)and there are i believe that there are 6 people in his group so it wouldn't have been a true group meeting anyway, sadly 2 of the people there at the start had to leave by the time Chris had gotten there so it ended up being just like a normal meeting (number of people wise).

Anyway as i said when the meeting started it was a great thing, Chris brought in a load of reports and animations, effects, drawing and other projects from previous years.

We had a look through the boxes and pulled out the ones that we felt would be a great asset to us and would help us in our own projects.

Looking at there work i found so many things that i didn't think of when doing my project and thinking about what path in my work i should take, one of my biggest worries has been the Viva at the end of the year where i present my work in front of a selection of mentors and im really dreading it but thanks to this look at other work i can see what i need to include and what i need to im prove on.

Next meeting i believe is a standard meeting where we talk about where we are in the projects and what we hope to have finished by the end of the month.

so until my next update, keep well.

Well it was bad news today, the planned group meeting was canceled due to other commitments that Chris had.

Since Chris couldn't do it today he did say that he would rearrange the meeting for next week where we can all meet each other and look at the work from last year and the reports that went with the work.

I feel this will help me out a load as well as the others in the group as it gives the chance to see what level the work needs to reach for us to get the marks we require or are aiming for.

Well, i have contacted Chris to let him know that any time is great for me (any time and day really).

anyway thats it for this update i hope to have more soon.

Today i had my 3rd weekly meeting with Chris and we discussed my Project Specification, he said that everything was ok with it but it would be better if i was to add a schedule on it so now i have added a rough one that i will do my best to keep to. I have added a little slack on it so that if i take longer or shorter then it should be it wont effect my other projects.

I have added the dates to the post i made yesterday and you can see the revisions to it HERE.

I do wish that i had had more time to talk to him about my project but since there was another student there there wasn't much time left after Chris has talked to him.

The next meeting is meant to be a group one and we are going to be meeting each other for the first time and also getting to see what the students from last year did and what is classed as a fail, a pass and an A*.

For the meeting today i did manage to get my Storyboards partly done to show him, sadly though i didn't really get to show him and talk about them as much as i would have liked to.

My next step is to nail down the design of my character and hopefully get the character looking right in the portrait as well as profile.

I have manged to get the proportions for the character sorted its just hard to get the face looking right.

Well i guess thats all for this post but i do hope you keep checking back soon for more updates.

Laterz

As Chris has yet to get back to me about my Project Spec (understandable with him being busy) i though i would post it up on the blog now and see what you all think about it.

I have a meeting with him tomorrow so i will talk to him about it then and then submit it to the Project Site that we all have to submit to.

Title: The Dive
Name: Ashley Stringer
Student Number:
e-Mail:
Project Type: A3D
Website: http://thedive-animation.blogspot.com

Idea
A a young man has just started a new job at a circus as a high diving act but he is very nervous about the prospect of a 60 foot dive and and this courses climbing the tall ladder to become a problem, to top all this off he soon discovers that he has a fear of highs but this can't stop him from doing his act as he needs the job and he can't afford to lose it over a silly little fear.

Setting The Scene
Starts on a image of a poster showing that there is a new act and what the act is, this will be a Victorian style using influences from the Presto Short (Pixar) for placement of images and text style. The camera will then zoom out to reveal the environment of a circus and the poster will be at the foot of the swimming pool, surrounding the area will be sideshows, popcorn stand, ice cream stand, test your strength machine, big top tent, showman caravan and other features of a circus environment. Once the environment has been established by the audience the camera will start to move up the ladder of the diving board until it gets to the performer trying to climb, we see that he is nervous and is having trouble trying to fight his fears and his body from stopping him doing it. as he continues to climb the fears and the nervousness gets stronger and harder to fight but he struggles on and manages to reach the top but he starts to wish that he hadn't.

Research Into The Idea
For reference footage i have looked at other animations such as Presto and Hot-Dog Circus and movies the likes of Freaks and Vertigo.
For visual style i have looked at things from Tim Burton and certain students of Animation Mentor and Gobelins Animation School.
Due to my lacking knowledge in modelling, texturing and rigging i have researched into how to tackle these sections in the production.

Specification
The animation will be 3D and made using Softimage XSI 6.5 and will be something between 1-2 minutes. It will be focused on the character animation rather than rendering and modeling but if time allows it focus will be switched to rendering and modeling as well as long as the animation is finished and to a standard that I feel is good enough to get me the grade I aspire to. After talking with my mentor we have agreed that the animation will be the deciding factor in my hand-in so we have agreed on a 4000 word report to hand-in.

Essentials
•An animation showing a man reacting to his fears and anxieties.
•A believable performance from the character.
•A model of the environment and the props used by character.
•A character model and rig that can be used for other characters in the scene (universal rig).

Action plan:
(Building the scene)
1.Design the characters and environment.
2.Model the environment and props.
3.Model the character head and body in a way that clothing can be textured on.
4.Texture characters, props and environment.
5.Rig characters using an advanced rigging setup.

(Animation)
1.Use recorded acting footage from green screen room as reference.
2.Block out main poses and movements.
3.Ensure timing of animation is correct using a quick capture.
4.Once the blocking is finalized start doing animation passes until it is finished
5.With the main performance done repeat the process with the secondary characters and props in the scene.

Schedule (date showing is the start date of these production section)
• Concept Design - October
• Modelling Of Environment & Characters - November
• Texturing & Rigging - December
• Blocking - January
• Second Pass - February
• Polish - March

Well back to the storyboards.

Well i manged to get hold of Chris at the end of my lesson today to go over the images and get some feedback, he suggested that i change the Big Top a little as at the moment it doesn't look very much like one so that is what i have done, the new image is in the Image section under the "Renders Of Scene Objects".

As well as talking about the images i mentioned the ending for the animation that u had came up with during class and although i didn't get the same reaction as i did from one of my class mates (Hemin Rasul) i feel he did see the element of humor to it, i will go over this when him more on Friday as that is when the next meeting will be held.

As i am still having some problems with my character design for this project i will be taking my drawings in with me in hope that he will be able to suggest what i can do with what i have and where i can take them design wise.

Also as my Project Specification is due in on Friday i have just finished that and sent it off to Chris in hope that it will be ok and i will be able to submit it as if i can't i dont know how i will be able to improve on it anymore then i already have on there at the moment, if it can be improved i hope that he put on the email what it is that i need to add to it to make it better and i will be lost otherwise.

Once i get the go ahead with the Specification and the ending is worked out i will post an update on here with all the information about it so stay tuned.

Well thats all for now, just a quick update about the project and where it is going, now to go do my storyboards (ruff ones) so i will talk to you all again soon.

So as you can see i have more images uploaded to the image section of the site, i haven't yet got around to organizing the storyboards of script yet but i will be working on that tomorrow and hoping to come up with some cool ideas.

The main problem i am having with the script is how to finish it, i get as far as the character jumping off the diving board and then i get stuck. I will bring this up with Chris in the next meeting and hopefully we will be able to work something about together.

I will be uploading my moodboards as they are created as well so keep an eye out for them but if you want to get informed about my updates via email so not to have to come back and check all the time you can do so by click on the Email Subscription link at the top right of the page....or click here

Till next time peeps ^_^
