Blocking plan for the virtual set
Major Project - Reflective Statement
I think this is one of the toughest projects I have ever undertaken in my time in education. I have felt both scared and stressed out believing I will fail this whole course if I even remotely submitted anything subpar and thus fail at having a career in animation. Not helping was the Covid pandemic which has greatly affected the university, my mental health, my course, my family, among much more. While I think I am likely to pass the course now that I have submitted all the necessary components for my major project, needless to say there is quite a bit I wish I could have done better. The reason I believe for a lot of this was simply time. Some was out of my control other times I feel I could have done something to help myself give a better outcome of the project. I cannot help but feel that while it could've gone a lot worse my project could've been a lot better if I had a bit more time such as having better time management and stopping myself from procrastinating as often....
Hi Ted - Try to think about 'filming' in the location as you design it - Like you are standing on it with a camera. If you were there filming you wouldn't want the audience to see the edge of the set. So try to think of ways to creatively 'block' their veiw using different simple tricks. Trees, increase of height of the land, hills going off into the distance. bushes, etc
