Today we had our presentations to see how we were getting on. After a meeting with the tutors, we agreed to cut our Cat and Rat film. We have all put a lot of effort into it but we keep coming across more and more issues. Currently we have not tried to get the animals to interact with the water and this could be a huge task that I don't think we would be able to handle with the deadline we have.
I think it is a good decision and means we can all focus on other projects and personal work to make better showreels but also use our skills to help other groups.
One of the options our tutors gave our group was to create a much shorter 30 second animation just show casing our best skills. On discussion with Sarah Strickland, we have decided to make a short animation of our cat (from the Cat and Rat film) in a different setting - a room with french windows. The cat will walk into the room, interact with the curtains around the doors and then jump onto the windowsill to look out into the garden.
We already have the cat model and would just need to model the room with french windows and curtains. We will probably use nCloth for the curtains to make it easier to interact with the cat.
This plan still needs to be finalised but in the mean time I have spoken to a few groups to see if they need any help with their films. So far Russell Pointer and Aaran Dummer have offered to let me help them with any work they need doing in the coming weeks.
I will also be working on my personal showreel so I can produce something for the degree show.
