And this is where Maya broke and removed all my textures
Final Statement
I liked this project. Having an artist to work from removes the need to think up a completely new style for your city, as you can use their style and work from that. My artist was interesting. I couldn't find any records about her work having a deeper meaning, all I could find is that she works from nature, going out and doing sketches, and then using them to make her ceramics. It also looks like she plays around with what she can see, the shapes and such, and with the material.
I don't think I had a good start to this project, the thoughts and feelings of last time still lingering. However once I started using Maya, I began to feel inspired again, not just in this project but at home too, I've found myself drawing again and having fun with it, and yesterday(as if writing this 14/12) I was given the graphics tablet I had asked to receive for Christmas early and I'm enjoying using it. I found Maya a joy to work with, although it did crash a couple times and it deleted all my textures while I was doing the various renders to be submitted.
Over the Christmas Break I am planning to hone my skills in Photoshop and Maya, just so I don't get bored
So overall, I think that the next project will be much better, I feel that I know what I'm doing from start to finish.

Premise Script V1- Draft

Premise Script v1 by Ollie Thacker on Scribd This is the first iteration of the story for my premise project. At first I thought I would do a story based on making gold, as that was the action my character was doing in my Character Design project. However I thought a pilot episode where the character makes his sidekick character. I'm also considering writing the gold making episode as an additional episode. The reason why is because I'd like to do my project as a pitch in order to get this show made into a real tv show. I definitely know there are some things that need changing, especially since this is the first draft of this script. Also I'm hoping that the writing of the script will help me come up with a name for the show, something which I am struggling with at the moment.

@Alan - Proposed new story- Minor

For the new story I was thinking of doing it on the way that academics gate keep their work with their language and that if someone new came to it, they would be completely baffled, as I have been when learning Post Modernism with Phil last year. Because of this, I'd like to make the animation more adult but keep the same animation style of a kids show, like Mary and Max. In terms of a story I was thinking Simon(the student) decides to get ahead on his work by reading the more advanced books in the library. After bringing them to life with a potion, he is unable to understand what they are going on about because of the language they use, and because they argue or disagree with each other and sort of gang up on him for not knowing their world. Simon ends up being confused, almost overwhelmed because he is not ready for the content contained. Mary (the teacher), knows he isn't ready and already put out the books he would need, ones that he can understand, as because she is a
