Back at uni

I’m still very busy doing university work at the moment, but I’m at the very tail end of the work. I’ve done 90% of my final year project now, the artefact is complete and the overall conclusion and evaluation of the project is that it’s a success. I’m happy with what I’ve done but still there a bit more writing for the report needed. Some last assignments left and 1 exam. But I’m nearly finished with all of my university assignments now! Around 3-4 weeks until I’m officially finished the workload and exams. 

Here is a link to my final year project for those who are interested.

I’ve applied for a university scholarship too, although I’ve planned to apply to some internships for the summer. It’s a great time to update my portfolio and CV. I’ve been in touch with lecturers and trying to get references complete for the application process of the universities I’ve applied for. Although this time, I’ve only applied for 1 program. Mostly because at this level funding is really available for students who want to study a master degree/PhD. Otherwise I’ll be looking for jobs in the field or internships in the near future if my application process isn’t successful.

We have poster day next on the 8^th of May, I will get some pictures and blog about how that went. I personally have no idea what’s involved with such an event, so hopefully I can inform others what to expect. 

What I'm doing

Honestly I’ve been doing 1 thing... University assignments. So I thought I would update you on what I’ve been doing. I’m modelling one of the lecture theaters inside university, this is because I’m actually using it in one of my assignments.

It’s rather simple so far, but there’s going to be characters sitting in the chairs as well as a main character which will have a voice actor talking over it.

I’ve also been adding to my final year project, this is a character called Flik that was in the bugs life. I remodeled him as I’m somewhat doing a parody of Bugs Life at the start of my animation.

Here’s the ostrich, rather western looking. I’ve still not added his feathers, there’s a lot of progress on the animation side.

I did upload my schedule, I somewhat changed it on a day to day bases. But at the moment my stagey is to basically complete a task every single day. For example my task for today was creating that Bug’s Life character I posted above. Yesterday was to research and learn a new video editing software. So I’m generally busy every day and hopefully I’m staying on task for my university assignments. 

On a side note, I’m catching up on series I haven’t seen! Being at my PC for a big chunk of the day, I watch a lot of movies/series. I’ve finished watching Idiot Abroad, Moaning of Life and Breaking bad. Now I’m watching Games of Thrones and the Walking Dead! All of them I recommend watching (albeit they are very different from each other).
