Computer Animation Arts

It's just been pointed out there's a discrepancy between the week-by-week timetable and the dissertation schedule - Group 3's dissertation tutorials take place on Monday 31st October, and not today (Tuesday 25th) as shown on the week-by-week timetable.  Apologies for the confusion - course leader error!!!

At Tuesday's What If Metropolis ('WIM') briefing @ 2pm / Lecture Theatre 1, you'll encounter Computer Animation Arts' 'mysterious blue box' and everything about the way this brief works will become clear and your next creative adventure will begin in earnest.    By way of preparation, I want you all to spend some time looking at the brief and likewise these examples of previous student work, which should demonstrate quite clearly the relationship between concept art and the creation of highly original digital sets in Maya.  Also included in this post is the date and requirements of your first OGR - which takes place very soon after the briefing.   You need to think about your time management from the outset, as you have a lot to do in seven short weeks!

Your new project brief is available now on myUCA/SpaceandEnvironment/WhatIfMetropolis Take a look in readiness for Tuesday at 2pm in Lecture Theatre 1 The What If Metropolis ... from concept art to Maya digital set in seven weeks! (Deanna Crisbacher)

Year 3: Minor Project Please ignore the typo on your timetable regarding the submission date. The date should read: Thursday 12th January 2017   Year 2: Narrative & Character As previously discussed the submission dates for Narrative & Character have been revised to: Narrative: Tuesday 13th December 2016 Character: Tuesday 10th January 2017   Please update your calanders accordingly.  

So, what have we got here? Lots of highly seductive, expertly machined trailers for films that look keen to break the recent spate of blockbuster-sized 'meh'.  Personally, I think Hugh Jackman looks very fetching with a beard, Fassbender might get me to finally watch a game-to-film adaptation on the big screen and Verbinski's A Cure For Wellness looks wonderfully uncanny.  As for Guardians 2 - well, all I can say is bring it on, because the first one was the most fun I've had at the cinema for an age.  Ah trailers - the victory of hope over experience!
