 BSA Drawing Hi! I have just been working at my lineart. I got to page 10? in the style I started with, but decided to change the style to be more stylised, inspired by styles such as The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and Chew. I am a lot happier with this style and hope to re-draw in this style. This style will have less focus on colour and shading so I will focus on the lineart and if it comes to it, will leave it in black and white, and add a paper like texture instead, inspired by the style of Sleeptlk.  First 3 pages in original style: First 3 pages in new style: Surrealism 23/8 6/9 11/10 change first page to grab readers faster.  25/10 Re made first page and touched up.  Change last page to sunset rather than sky. Add shadows and cross hatching. 

 BSA VFX Hi! Proposal due today. Need to work on documentation. COVER AND APA REFRENCES If you drag a file onto 'New comp' then youll make a new comp the same screen size. if you go into image layer, you can drag the anchor point with the move tool. Change solve method to typical in the camera tracker menu. Create camera to create a 3D camera that will mimic the footage movement. select and right click a point to create text, solids, or nulls on that point in the space. Create null on a point. Copy and paste the position onto the subject, and it will be fixed on that point. you may need to scale up.   Turn on title/ action safe- under the cross hairs box under the main camera view. Line up subject with center of crosshairs. creat a null object by creating it as a new layer. Then 'track motion' the footage. Move the trackpoint to a high contrast spot to track.  Documentation in powerpoint.  22/8 Handed in proposal and documentation. Next documentation disscuss fe...

 BSA 3D Hi! Fixed the rig.  We then had to fix some textures as the lighting refused to work on her sweater and shorts, making them too dark.  Weight Painting- Hold right click.

 BSA 3D Hi! Rigging. man icon on right- create skeleton.

Then use the red rings to move the rig. Next we paint weights. NEVER ERASE. 

 BSA Cross Disciplinary Hi! Going over the event brief. 

 BSA 3D Hi! I found some issues with my textures. Number one is there are some marks on the back of Layla's neck. Number two, The sweater is too reflective,  Number three, the sweater clips the shorts a bit. Number 4, the bandaids textures are a bit weird. I fixed those and then spent some time making assets. I fixed the house base model and made a TV.

 BSA 3D Hi! Today I continued importing my textures. I had some trouble with the layering so will need to continue next class.

 BSA Cross Disciplinary Hi! mind mapping for next event. same leads as last time plus a new role- reporters- they gather evidence of what is happening, liasoning information, interview and get surveys on the night. Fingers on the pulse of the event. Note taking and minutes.  Thursday 17th Nov - Showcase night Friday 18th Nov- Social Night/ After Party We disscussed previous events and their pros and cons. We then had guest speakers come in to talk about their experiences.  little teams overseen by a couple people.
