Meeting with John

Todays meeting went well. John is very confident that I'm progressing well. He agrees with me that the main objective for the next few weeks is producing the modeled faces, trying to make sure that the character of my 2D sketches come through. I have made a test model of Jaime as a child, with a couple blend shapes which do work! :D so I'm confident that when it comes to the facial animation I will feel a lot better about the end result I'm hoping for. For next friday (pitch presentation) I'm going to aim to refine my animatic more by just including the key shots I'll need with the intended narration. This shouldn't take me to long. John likes the environments set up so far. I just have the study room to create, and Jaime's office, which will be very simple... shouldn't take me any longer than a day.

For next time we have created action points that include:

Character model progress
Environments finished (one more to model)
Refined animatic

I am going to start looking at more books that demonstrate the facial modelling process, which will help me to build on the skill's I'm continuing to learn.

I have put my dissertation research on hold for the next week or so, which will still giove me time, as I have started to type up some of the abstarct and intro already.

Case study work is almost there.. I just want to make sure I have covered all the bases... and will produce my animatic for this once I'm happy that I have my characters prepared for animation.

So as John said... "Model like the wind!... and all that!" :D

Up coming log for next week will be posted soon.
