This is a recap of the final letter remaining out of what we have covered from MIGRAINE and is the last theory and industry lesson on that very acronym. Having done it last year and most of this year, we will now be using and applying the knowledge from our collection of studies in order […]

Production Management
As with both of my previous projects, scheduling and planning have been an extremely important part of production management and organisation as a whole. Self-assessment and progress tracking also proved useful and have impacted my work simply by being there for me to reference and think about. In order for everything to run as smoothly […]
Compositing: Scribble-On
In this lesson, we learned about scribble-on and how it can be used, as well as improved our artistic abilities by challenging ourselves to draw in limited time slots. Initially, I didn’t have a good idea of what ‘scribble-on’ could mean, but the fact that it included the word ‘scribble’ gave me a clue. It […]
Client Research
Here I will be conducting all of the client research required for my creative project. As specified in the brief, the client is a company by the name of Passion Pictures and would like their next big idea to come to life through the application of research, pre-production and production for a final product of […]
Reflective Writing
In this lesson, we discussed why we use reflective writing and identified reflective writing within a given example. We also applied a reflective writing method to our own work by practising with the attached skills session from this week. First, we were asked about our opinion on what it means to be reflective. I struggled […]
Economics, Politics & Social [Recap]

Intro to NURBS – Maya

We were, thankfully, immediately given a definition – and I was surprised even though I shouldn’t have been. NURBS stands for Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline. They are one geometry type that you […]

Creative Project Pitch

Shading in Animate
As a quick demonstration, we received a lesson on how shading could be done in Adobe Animate. We had gone over the basics of the program and everybody knew how to create an animation, however, we had not gone over the finer details and extras, and a lot of people didn’t feel confident creating artwork […]
