Task 9 Review

for this project i was assigned to make a 3-dimensional animation that would be used to advertise the college's e6 radio station. with that being the case i researched things that relate to the e6 being its own character in the advertisement like e4's estings and the bbc 2 indents.

  

after watching a few of these advertisements i have found that each "2" or "e4" has its own quirky characteristics  and the BBC 2 indent is often a very lively character so after researching this i have decided to base the e6 on that style of characteristic.

after doing so i created a few story boards for my ideas but the one that stood out the most to me was the e6 dancing at a disco replicating the iconic scene from Saturday Night Fever.

unfortunately i was un able to do the full scene as i only had a 30 second window and on top of that i couldn't use the memorable bee gees song with it but if i replicated it well enough i think i'd get the message across.

i found that whilst doing the project i my skills with both layout and modeler had improved significantly the only problem i really had was using the path tool as it was awkward to use whilst trying to make the e6 dance so i decided to re size the e6 using the stretch and squash tools this allowed me to mimic body movement without the character having a skeleton also although the camera angles seem fine, if i put more time in to it i think i could have made things look allot smoother. i also had the idea of giving the e6 arms to give it more character but the deadline had already passed and i was in no position to make such drastic changes.

over all i am very happy with the outcome but if i had more time i know i could have made it better.
