Research techniques in the media industries





Rosie – She should improve her grammar
          - She understands  the nature and purposes of research in the creative media industries and gave illustrative examples with generally correct use of subject terminology

Zainab – Grammar needs improving
              -  This person explained the nature and purposes of research in the creative media industries with the correct use of subject terminology in great detail, gave an elucidated example  and consistently used subject terminology correctly.

Bobby – Grammar needs improving a little
            - He has some understanding of the nature and purposes of research in the creative media industries, but he did not give any examples and he seems to jump from an idea to another too fast.

Maya - Modelling Mjolnir (Thor's hammer)

Image
Mjolnir SUMMARY This model was fascinating to do because it involved using many different tools which took a lot of time researching on the internet. This was a very time consuming project not only because there was a lot to learn and a lot to do, but also because I decided to use a drawing program to create the curves for the ornament details. I found this technique on the internet whereby I could draw curves in a drawing program such as Photoshop or CorelDraw and then export them as EPS (encapsulated postscript) file. This was easier than trying to model the curves directly in Maya. However, I obviously had to install the drawing program and to do that I also had to upgrade my internet explorer and to do that...............(Further, I wish I had found out earlier that I could have used Photoshop to create EPS Files as then I would not have had to install CorelDraw and learn a bit of that because I already know Photoshop a little - Grrr!). In total with the reinstallin...

Animation Skills - Exercise 4

Image
Walk Animation For this week's assignment we were asked to produce an animation of  a character walking. Obviously to be able to produce any animation, one has to understand the mechanics involved in the actual event we are trying to animate, be it a living being or a mechanical object. Studying a character we can see that the legs have hip, knee and ankle joints to facilitate movement. The animation starts from the hip joint, followed by the knee joint and finally the ankle joint to move the legs in opposition one leg after another. In addition to the legs moving, the arms do similarly alternating in opposition to each leg. I therefore created approximately 10 drawings in different stages of the cycle showing mostly the hip joint and shoulder joint movement with some movement of  elbow, knee and ankle. These 10 images were drawn in Adobe Animate and a complete cycle was created with a key frame for each image. In addition one of the mechanics of walking ...
