Timeplan.

Week 1: Create promotion poster for Beatport. This is for the work based learning module. I will start by creating rough drawings and thumbnail layouts.
Continue with robot. I need to create new legs for the robot, I will research into a new type of leg that is simpler to model and animate.

Week 2: Continue with Beatport poster, hopefully come up with a good final design. - Continue modelling and experimenting with robots legs.

Week 3: Make finishing touches to poster and get it totally finished and out of the way. - Start and come up with a good design for creative CV and brand name.

Week 4: Finish storyboards e.g colour up and outline rough drawings. Make finishing touches to script.

Week 5: Continue working with the robot model and get the legs fully designed.

Week 6: Rig robot and begin to animate.

Week 7: Edit Showreel, Print final portfolio, commentries, evaluation. finalise PPD.

Modelsheets.

I totally forgot to upload these onto my blog. These are the model sheets I created for my Robot. I created these using Illustrator and Photoshop. I used textures for the robot to make it look more metallic and less flat. I really like the outcome of these.

CAAD session After Effects. Visual Effects.

In this session we were looking at 2D visual effects. The example was Paul's NASA ident. We learned how to mask and how to use effects. I had a play around with the assets and effects and this was the outcome.

Compositing onto footage using After Effects.

In this CAAD session we were learning how to use After Effects to composite 2D onto live footage. The footage was Paul dancing. Which was rather funny to watch. I decided to create a basic slug head (because I like slugs). To get rid of the Green Screen we had to use Keylight. this means that Paul will look like he is standing in whatever background I choose, in this case a car park. I placed my slug head into After Effects. I then re-sized it to fit Paul's body. It was then simply a case of moving and keyframing the head to move with Paul's body. The final outcome was hilarious because I decided to go mental and add loads of different Paul's.

Live footage 'acting'.

This is a piece of acting that I wanted my friends Michael & Grant to participate in. The idea was that they were messing about until they see a robot. They were meant to act shocked.  This was the outcome. There was also some improv from Grant. It was hilarious trying to film this.

Targets this week.

• Start designs for character for 'Future Lion's' live brief. 
• Come to a final conclusion. 
• Sketch out character and scan it into Illustrator. 
• Colour the character in Photoshop. 
• Gather logo's that are relevant to Beatport & AIAIAI global brands. 

Strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths - I really don't know what my strengths in this project have been. I suppose this shows that I really need to improve on my workflow and idea's. I think I am a good modeller. I have definitely got better at rigging. 

Weaknesses - I didn't do enough research into how this robot would actually work. The movement designs with this robot haven't worked very well. Time plans haven't really existed and I've just done work day by day with no plans.
