Thoughts

It is becoming increasingly closer to my 3rd year at uni, now with this there is excitement for new projects but it also comes with tons of stress. Hoping to minimize that last bit i need to do as much as i can before uni starts so my idea is solid and already in pipeline.

I've had a couple ideas of a film that i could make, some ideas were pure crap and some had something there but still not great.
I would love to animate a music video, only a couple of minutes so perfect time for 3rd year project.

It would be really nice to animate a video to any songs by Matt Berry from the album Witchazel. This in particular has been some very inspiring and relaxing music to work to and have always had a few ideas for them.

Another idea i had was to create a train (again with the trains!) where all the windows were a gateway out to a different landscape. Such as a snowy mountain caps, camels in a desert, jungle waterfall, rainy city... etc. I've already thought lightly into this project if it might be viable. Problems that are around; No story to it :/ terrible problem that is.

I was bored

I am very bored and very hot thanks to the summer weather, Not as hot as my free holiday in Ibiza but I won't get into that.

I haven't done any pure maya modelling in a while so started on this revolver. Hoping for it to be something i texture aswell and doing a few more advanced techniques like baking textures along with using normal, bump map and specular maps.
