Week 3

Tuesday 7th October
We (me, Steffen & Melanie) had long discussion about the YMCA 3D video. We all agreed that Thursday Rock night is the event we want to promote. The way we are going to do it is quite straight forward. Three instruments (Guitar, Keyboard and drums), one 3D character and Dire Straits, Money for nothing song. At the moment it does not make much sense to create very detailed storyboard/ shoreline because we don't have much experience about 3D animation. The problem is, if we make too much plans about video we might end up in situation where we need to go change whole storyboard because we don't know how to do it.

I also started to model the character at the same day. We decided to use Steffen as our template. The whole idea is to create one character and the modify it little bit, so that we have 3 different characters (pianist, drummer and guitar player).
So far I've done only the front of the guy, so there is sill lot to do. One thing I learned today is that Illustrator in such better tool than PS for drawing topology lines.
