After an extended Easter break, he we are with Semester 3 and the final module of the year, Visual Realisation.  When I last left off the module, I managed to reduce the length of my final project considerably, but I anticipate that more work will need to be done to get it to a short enough length to really make it showreel-worthy and something that I can truly be proud of.  If all else fails, I simply want the final cut of this final project to turn out much better than the final project for my BA degree.  In retrospect, it was no real wonder why the original film didn't quite work with underlit footage, an erratic narrative flow and unprofessional framing.  These faults have been remedied during the production and post-production of Seoras, although I am not entirely to having redo some shots in my full costume for the reshoots given the increased temperatures, but at least this time of year will allow for more shooting hours in natural light.  

I've also tried a new experiment on the Pictish snake section for my final project, since I wasn't entirely happy with the proportions of it and the irregular movement.  So instead I've tried adapting a new version of the animation from a gif where a snake moves and flows graciously, as well as with indicators on how to draw the body.  It will require a fair bit of commitment and time, but I am cautiously optimistic about how it will turn out in contrast to the old version.   

Priorities for last semester:
  • Reshoot required VFX shots
  • Update required visual effects compositions
  • Craft a new website
  • Make a new creative CV
  • Update LinkedIn Profile
  • Make a new showreel for website
