LAUAN504 : Weekly update for week of 14/5/2018

Submission week ! And last update to the project. Everything is in order and ready for submission, but we did ,make a choice to replace Dotty our tutor as narrator with Zhama from the first year who is a Londoner. Although did have a better-trained voice, we all feel like Zhama did a really good job on his part and the fact that is a London accent helps set the scene even better.

LAUAN504: Weekly update for week of 7/5/18

This is week saw the final crit for our animation. First thing to mentioned the fact that we're really proud to be the first team to have a finished animation up for the crit and that the overall animation work and sound design done by the other two members was brilliant. With that said, within our crit, we did have some improvements needed pointed out to us, mainly regarding the text and narration of the animation. One of the point was that that in some of the shots , the camera works made the scene feels off center, which can be easily adjusted. The biggest point that was mentioned then, was that the worry that the audience was to distracted with reading the text rather than noticing the animation in the panel, some of which, are really subtle and can be easily missed. Therefore, we were strongly advised to get a narrator for the project, which we did right within the day and got the file in over what we have. Now its up to the guys to edit them to the highest of quality, which I'm confident they'll pull off

LAUAN504 : Weekly update for week of 23/4/18

This week was a pretty easy going week on my part as revolves around mostly replacing my place-holder assets within the background files with the final one, as well as making adjustments to make them fit better in the scene. Moreover I also did some test for the animation within each scene. which I think looked really nice, but we agreed on leaving the animation for the other members. I also started looking into sound, with the focus on effects in the bg like ambient noise and horse galloping. Something that signifies the streets of London in 1888.
