ToolKit Reflective Statement

From the start of the year until now I can defiantly say I feel more confident using MAYA, especially around modelling and deciding to do things more on my own terms and adapt the advice given to me on modelling onto my own projects. I had never used a software like MAYA when I got to CAA in September so I was very apprehensive using it and designing different things on my own, so I struggled making the lego car and followed the MAYA tutorials very strictly incase I made any mistakes, I think it was only until the barn and after What If? Metropolis that I started to feel more confident about what I was doing and felt I could do some of the tasks on my own without as much apprehension as before and now after finishing Fantastic Voyage I feel more comfortable with Maya and designing objects without as much advice form the videos, although I still feel I have a long way to go. The tutorials defiantly came I handy with Fantastic Voyage, especially because I was relaying on them to learn Skinning and Rigging and apply them to my own project and although he other videos and lessons from before helped me, I think it was this point that I felt I could understand how to take the information given and apply it onto other objects on my own and use the knowledge I have gained to figure out Maya a bit on my own.

Sound Experiment 04

 Today I decided to record some more natural sounds, this time seeing how the sound of wind would sound through a window before I recorded it outside, as I think the slight whistling noise through the window would make it sound more interesting, I am planning on collecting more natural sounds, but I wanted to see how it would sound before I progressed onwards in case the background noise was too much in comparison to the wind and ruined it.  For the second sound for my second image, I wanted to continue to find something more sharper so I tried to record the sound of cactus spikes, particularly if I ran my fingers through it, as it makes a very sharp, high pitched sound that I think could work better, especially if I could replicate the sound to reflect the more smaller portions of the image.  Lastly I wanted to try and collect a more electronic sound for image one, to match its sharp, electric colours so I wanted to start by recording a microwave, as I thought is humming noi

Premise: Room Design and Development

Image
After finally deciding on a character design for the lead in my story, I decided to take that design and explore I will approach the environment where the story will be set. I wanted to look at making the room look very dull and also mismatched and dated to suit the juxtaposing feeling it has against Drew and how they feel being within the environment and how it feeds into their feeling of loneliness. I want ed to have an obvious focus toward the room looking old and not suited for Drew by looking at dated carpets and duvet designs to show how ill suited the room if for them, so I mainly focused on 50's patterned and designs. I also wanted to explore how I could structure the bed before finally comparing how I wanted the room to look colour wise. I am struggling to decide whether the rom looks good or bad against all the unflattering colours and designs, and as well which room conveys the idea I had for it the most effectively (e.g it previously being a young girls ro
