Is King Kong Colonialist?

    Hey Odette - wow - this is a long, in-depth response - which I hope comes from discovering some legitimate interest in the subject. You touch on some interesting stuff here and I like the way you interrogate the 'racism' of Kong and mount a support of the film above and beyond what we may find distasteful. Very obviously, you've got enough 'oomph' here for a first draft of your written assignment. I would say - more generally - that in terms of project management everything else, you might want to put your own limits around how much time you're giving these reviews. There's probably a sweet-spot here. Just in terms of your introduction, it's not quite there structurally in so much as you're introducing the film, and not the nuts and bolts of the review you've written. Take another look at the guidance from last week on myUCA/Contexts.

    The general point I want to make is to congratulate you on committing so whole-heartedly to this - but also ask you to reflect on the balance of your project-management to ensure you're workload is manageable and your energies sustainable.

    As Phil says...wow! Yes, you are indeed on your way to having your first essay drafted :)
    My only point would be that you could do with some more images to back up your discussion, especially as you are making frequent visual references - show us the islanders, for example!
    Good stuff !

Moom Platform: Blocking Removed and Graph Editor Improvements

Image
For this lesson we had to think about timing and had to try and a-just the animation to the characters movements by removing the blocking and trying to line up the time with the movement and the expressions. I found this lesson quite easy especially since I feel I am now more used to blocking and animating using that technique, however I am still not, I feel as comfortable with using the graph editor, but In the second video I think my attempt to try it on the hip CTRL worked well, and although I still feel like the animation needs some more cleaning, I think it's turning out rather well.

What if Metropolis Thumbnails 09: Building Design Progression 3: Hero Prop

Image
For this set of thumbnails I decided to look at the redesigns for the Opera, as I didn't like the ones that  I had originally composed in my first OGR. I decided to concentrate on structure, as well as the door design, but unlike the buildings, I had an idea of what door I liked, but I wanted it to look instead at a design that could appear to make the building more professional. Looking at the buildings in comparison, I like how the Opera does contains sharp and smooth elements from the individual building, while also standing out on its own, but like the others I will alter a few things from this design before constructing my final designs. I want to concentrate on colour for this building, along with the rest to try and continue the continuity between them.
