First, I have actually been doing some work over the summer, collaborating with others and planning things out. I did manage to finish one book, and start another (look at the Dresden Files), finished a slew of games, volunteered at SIGGRAPH 2013 as a Student Volunteer, visited Downtown Disney in Anaheim, and helped my brother move into a new house many states away. I am currently working on putting together a collaborative short animation to do for fun, but the majority of the work will start next summer, since I now have a huge animation project to continue.
This quarter at SCAD, I am taking a Models and Shaders programming class, which teaches Pixar's Renderman, and i am super excited! I also have a Photography class; always a good way to expand your horizons and get a different view of lighting and composition. Finally, I am taking Senior I, which is actually the second out of 4 classes dedicated to working on the senior film at SCAD. The first class was Concept development, followed by 2 quarters of production (Senior I and II), and finally finishing with Post-Production. I am also helping a few others with their projects, trying to get more lighting and texturing/shading behind my belt.
Since we are starting actual production now, and I already have some people interested in helping with my project, I am using a free online tool called Trello to keep organized. It works on any web browser, plus it has apps for my iPad and iPhone! If you are ever working on a project, especially a collaborative one, check it out! It even connects to Google Docs and Dropbox. I am also creating a new blog to chronicle the development and production of the short. I have added a new tab to my blog, but you can also check it out at LastLightFilm.blogspot.com.
So for now I will leave you with a picture of a lantern I've been working on for another senior project by Michelle Ionescu. I'll post a link when I get one from her. I mainly focused on the glass, getting a bumpy frosted glass feel. Enjoy!
