Character and Narative 1: Back into the swing/Idea Development

For the first part of the day, we got back to grips with maya and its hotkeys and controls, which was extremely easy, similar to riding a bike after not after a few months. After this Matt gave us his  rigged model to practice animating with, which after some practice i got to grips with and posed it in a few different ways. After struggling with the college computers i decided to continue posing at home.

After playing with maya we got down organising groups for the modelling project, after a little trouble finding someone i wanted to work with me and Katy decided it would be best for us to join forces against evil, as we both were struggling to find someone either of us wanted to work with but mutually respected each others skills as artist/animators. We played with a bunch of the title choices, eventually whittled it down to three titles which we created spider diagrams for; The message, Road to nowhere and Adrift. In the end we decided with adrift. Next wednesday we shall start planning out an actual story.
