another maya fail

So today after sorting my moom out with matt so the dress sticks to the shoulders and finding out that you animate without the ndynamics on....i animated it and did a playblast with the dress and hair back on....it erm...exploded a bit! need to try and figure out whats going on.

Turns out i had loads of jiggles on the hair so we just decided to scrap that and try do something with it at the end.

presentation

I have decided to add one more frame onto my story board to make it seem more finished and by itv. it will now have a voice over reiterating what the animation was showing.

I have 3 presentation boards so far. 

The first is my story board, showing the finished artefact that i had intended to produce.

The second is a mock up of people of roughly the right age watching my advert. There is also a mock up of a Facebook advert and in the description it saying that by clicking the link it will take you to a website...

 This is the mock up of the website where you can watch the advert and read about what is happening and why.

I thought it would be a good idea to put adverts on Facebook because the majority of the target age range has a Facebook account so will probably come across it! Also having a link to this website will give people answers and also it'll be something they can find on google because at the moment there really isn't much about it so it's hardly surprising very few people know about the change.

Final itv story board

Here is my final story board. I decided to change the mothers dress to red as the blue made her look like belle from beauty and the beast. I also changed the room decoration to look like an average english living room and I think a lot of people have gone neutral over the past 10 years or so. I also put a family photo in to make it more homey. 

Responsive

These are my character designs for the 16-34 year olds. I have used a teenager and an adult to show the variation of the audience, and also the mum who is also very different.

I have decided that they should have yorkshire accents as in the brief it says 'northern warmth not london aloof' and also the yorkshire accent sometimes sounds comical especially in contrast to the mother who i have decided should sound like a 50's fairy liquid advert. I think that would be quite funny as at the end its like she's selling itv as she would fairy liquid.

Hair design

Here is some designs for the hair. I have to decided to go for one that looks like barbie but won't be too hard to manage.

Now i just have to figure out how to make it....

Dope sheet

I did the dope sheet for my character and narrative project. It took forever!! But I did it, Im not sure if it was easier or more difficult in 24fps! it allowed for more frames and lip movement but when your scrubbing the timeline you can't really hear what it is saying and have to scrub and re scrub and figure out what it is saying!!!

SUMBIT WORK ON BREIF AND ON TIME

creative compromise
what you want to do and what you need to do
can you do what you want in the time available etc and do your really need to?

paul tinselly beat board

is the product essential to the brief? do you have to physically make it?

if you don't...what DO you need to produce?
stills/storyboards?
start visualising like putting your poster on a bus stop.

context where does it go? what will it do? characters..whats they're environment?
how does your product get used?

Rules for presentation boards

-Start at the end-what have you produced? show it clearly
-product-range-dustribution. what is it? what the other versions/episodes/flavours? where is it going to be seen/sold. how does it fit in with the rest of our lives? on screen? in magazine? social media?
-audience, function, context. audience-show who will be seeing this. 


Think before you do
Plan before you act 
Question everything fred has ever said

who's the audience
what function
what context will it exist
bring brief along, printed out
if you've re written the brief, print that out and bring it
fully up to date blog
developmental work that isn't being included in the presentation
