Huge Changes

This week has shown some HUGE changes to the whole production in general; having had our formative assessment we then proceeded to get our story looked at by a separate tutor. He looked through our story and general breakdown and basically said that it was quite poor and had no real resolve or purpose. He also suggested a few new ideas that inspired us. Myself, Rob and Jonno then went off that night and developed almost an entirely new story, although some areas do remain. We spent the next 16 hours developing this and creating a story synopsis as well as a script or shot breakdown. Feeling alot more enthusiastic and pleased with our new story we then had it looked at by two separate tutors including the same one who had previously destroyed our old one. Both of them said that the new one was alot better and had so much more promise.

Due to the changes in story my role upon the project has subsequently changed; i am now classed as an "Artist" and am doing "Modeling and Rigging" as we now only have one character as opposed to five, which means i have alot less rigging and can focus more on the modeling to help it develop into a more visual based film. Overall i feel more comfortable in this role and am alot happier within the group. I have informed the tutors of this change and it has all been agreed that the change is fine.

After the formative it was decided that we must get more reference imaging and decide upon a style, it was my job over the last 36 hours to get as much reference as possible. I have therefore compiled a number of image slides showing the different influences and references for the project.
