Internal Client Project
I have recently put together a storyboard for the animated advert I'm going to produce for the internal client project. I scan this into my blog later on.These are some existing ideas that could work with my design:

October Update!
Busy, busy, busyyyyy. This term is full of researching and writing (typing) which is not my forte however, I have managed to stick to the deadlines I have set for myself ie. waaaay before the submission date. Today I have completed my first assignment which is due in on Friday, although I will still need to tweak a few bits. Tomorrow I will start researching for the Research Module, I'm going to start off my reading the rest of Edd Hooks, Acting for Animators and make tons and tons of notes. I feel this will be fun because it's about animation, but also boring because I'm not physically making an animation. I like lots of visuals.Anyhow, I am going to tweak my essay here and there, order dominos and then spend the whole night looking at 11 Second Club eCritiques.
I want to produce an Christmas eCard for friends and family, so I'm currently trying to think of ideas and manage my time so I can to fit it in alongside my Uni work.
Also, check out the animation chat room tonight with Skwigly:

Hopefully I will be going to see Hotel Transylvania tomorrow or next week, which is exciting! Maybe I'll get a few ideas for halloween too, haha.
Client Project
For the internal client project I will be advertising a advanced textiles research group and their products as a future prospective. This will be a 45 second advert using 3D animation. I will be focusing on developing my character animation skills and compositing in After Effects.Links:

I have put together a moodboard of the products and images of my ideas for the advert.
Possible Solgans:
'Walk into techno'
'Fashion with a spark'
'Enlight yourself'
'Friendly fabric'
'What does yours do?'
CHEESE!
I think I need to have another think about solgans, very cringey!
Back to work...
Hello, last week was my first week back at University. Third year, scary stuff!We have been thrown a lot of work at us however, I expected it. The first term assignments are mainly all essays, which are not my favourite but at least I am writing about what I love.... CHARACTER ANIMATION!
MODULES:
Research Module
Client Project
Context 3
(Which all last the whole year)
I have made a time schedule to manage myself well for this year, as the projects all overlap. I also have planned to set my own deadlines one week before the submission deadline. I have repeatedly convinced myself to stick to these! I will also create a detailed version and blog it very soon.
How to cheat in Maya 2012.
The first section of the book introduces you to the Animation Principles. Yesterday I started working through Squash and Stretch, Anticipation and Overlapping Action. I downloaded the project files to learn these specific techniques. However, I found that I need to know some more about the graph editor in Maya to be able to work through these techniques easily. Although I understood the basics of the graph editor yesterday I am still a bit hasty and would prefer to learn more before moving on.The graph editor is a great way to manipulate a characters thought. It also shows how timing and spacing can make a significant difference to your animations.
Therefore for the rest of today and tonight I will be working through the Graph Editor section of the book to grasp a better understanding. My main focus is to be able to understand everything in the book before I head back to Uni so I can use them clearly without thinking 'what the **** does this do?' or 'why is he/she/it doing this!?' - along with going insane!
Below is what I tackled yesterday....
