BCT - Bachelor of Creative Technologies at AUT in Auckland is a multi-disciplinary 3-year degree. Students are asked to keep a blog of their journey, I'm a student, and this is my blog. No doubt I'll be explaining our projects as we go and my personal insights to them. Hopefully it will be mildly interesting.

You Never Can Tell

Our new tutor was pretty good and made made us feel a little bit more comfortable with the paper. ut we still had to produce an animation. I clung onto an early lesson where she bought in video onto a 2D plane in Maya and one could follow the action frame by frame as a template.

I decided to do John Travolta dancing to "You Never Can Tell" I did 505 frames. It was complex and I couldn't really add much more in the time I had. I rendered it this weekend, 3 times over from different cameras and multi-cammed it in premiere. I handed it in today, though not with a character stylesheet which just seemed like a pointless addition that was orphaned from a project that really became all about animating a pre-rigged character in maya. Then Jackie told me that was worth 30% of the mark. They should change that, it's really pointless.

It's done and I'm happy with the result.
