And ... Some More Info

After another group meeting with Christian and the animation group, we discussed the brief and breaking it down, what it actually means. Also focusing on how is best to continue approaching the brief, referred back to the original research workshop with Christian and Nick at the beginning of the year.... My research is partly

     * A systematic investigation of a stated topic
as well as 

     * Exploration and inquiry leading to clearly defined outcomes

So...

Plans over reading week...

• Continue after effects tutorials on creativecow
• Research and explore the realms of green screens, and particularly its uses for animation
• Explore the process of animating to sound
• Continue to research and explore styles of animation, focus on exploring ... puppet? Cut out? After Effects? 3-D?
• Continue to contact current animators/look at companies/visits/work placements.

Also..... think about a show reel? If I can't achieve one, then what should it include? How important is a showreel to an animator? how to sell yourself with a showreel?
