Who knows, probably went straight to DVD. We finished as much as we could, but a lot of content was left in a pretty sorry state from trying to finish the entire film in time. It is unlikely the film itself will ever see the surface, but we will be putting the best elements into our showreels. Any animation bits that I actually want to show, I imagine will make their way onto the blog and maybe...

So that is it, the 3 years of Digital Animation are over. Results are in and everybody has gone home to play Team Fortress 2. We had a lot of fun over the duration of the course. From freshers, right up to the final deadline. Our whole year group was an awesome bunch. I'll miss a lot of those guys and I wish them all the best. Good luck, boys and girls. Animation Showreel Underway I've been...

The Last Trophy The Last Trophy project really needs a proper update of its own, so that'll follow shortly. We finished...

The Crew Brief is now over, and a 1500 word production report handed-in. This crew project was a strange brief, and I think everyone from our second year had very unique experiences with it. Some people were stacked up with work, having no time spare for their own projects. I definitely wish I'd got more involved with what I was given, particularly since I couldn't of asked for a better...

The last project hand-in before Christmas - an experimental animation. This was definitely going to be the project with the widest range of results from the animation group. Whether it be playing with sand, cutting up paper or just running around with a pirate ship, nobody really knew what to expect. I'll get this in early, because it pretty much sets the tone for how this project really went....
