For this term we will have two new units and one of them is the Collaborative Unit in which we have to collaborate with students from our class and course and from other courses as well. For the assignment we had to choose between doing a previs animation, poster animation, vr or an immersive cartoon.
My group chose to do a previs animation of a simulation of a festival in which we want to animate artists performances on stage and simulate it like a festival.
When Luke said what we needed to do I was literally out of ideas, my brain froze and every idea seemed bad so I saw Abbie’s project proposal and asked if I could join, the project seemed interesting and we can do a lot with this idea. The next step was to find more people and start deciding some things like what artists are we going to animate, which performances, which music style, how would the lighting be, the stages… All those things need to be put in to consideration.
So, for the first search we ended up with a lot of electronic music references and lights, as me and Abbie are fans of electronic music everything was sort of going in that direction and for that would be much more interesting to animate the crowd as DJ’s are quite boring to watch. But we still have to be aware that more people will join the group and all this needs to be agreed by everyone.
