Errors and Bloopers

Throughout a project such as this, it is expected that things will go wrong. From failed lip syncs, to broken rigs. Separated geometry, to files that just didnt save correctly. This post is filled with little moments that went wrong...but were so funny...they were right.

This year was a year of superior unsurity, yet a feeling of excitement and wonder about what the FInal Year journey would be like. Being in the team I find myself in, was an amazing thing for me. Never in my four years as an Ulster University student, have I had more confidence in the ability and determination of a group of people to achieve a task wholeheartedly and true. Lorna, Cassie and Megan? You guys were the best team I could ask for in my Final Year of University *sniffle sniffle bleh* Taking on a virtual reality project brought with it many challenges both personally for myself and for us as a team. For myself, I found the technicalities and new software hard to adapt to. Having been out of the animation...
