And thus my 3rd year in Animation at college begins and already it seems like it could be tougher than finding a job. Keeping with the trend of the BA Animation top-up year at Ravensbourne the best pitched ideas for a short film are voted by the students for the students to be worked on for the academic entire year and everyone has to offer their (relavent) services to the 'Directors' of each film.
At the moment I have begun working primarily with Lewis Taylor, whose short film 'Pirates of the Produce Aisle' was selected to be one of the 3rd year films for 2009/2010. At the moment I am helping Lewis out with organizing the starting up of the project.
I have also asked to help out Nathan Wright on his short film 'Red Rock' in the area of modelling characters and other interesting paraphernalia within his film...
As it is the first time our primary concern is now that of Pre-Production: Research, concept work of characters, environments and objects, script writing, voice recording and of cause the ever engaging Animatic.
We of cause also have our monsterous dissertation to do, something we get the pleasure of focusing on in the 2nd term. As well as lessons in the areas of Business Studies and Film & Animation Contextual Studies.
