Social Media

For our social media awareness and content, our character artist, Megan and myself will be overseeing this area.  I will contribute and supervise the Facebook side of content, and Megan will oversee the Instagram side of things.  Together, we have produced a list of potential and decisive components that we want to include within our social media pages for The Happy Place.  These will involve the areas of 'meeting the team', concepts from pre production, developments of the team and project, as well as giving our followers small, regular insights into the Happy Place and what they can expect to see when we present our final piece.

 Below is a screenshot of our current Facebook page as it stands.  With posts relating to our team and content of our early concept work, we have built up a small following of friends, family and students who are keen to see how our project developments from now, until the date of premiering our work.


I created the cover photo for our Facebook page and began posting images and clips to raise awareness of our project.  Below are some of the posts, images and contents that have found their way onto our page so far -

In addition to these posts, I recently created a quick video featuring the step by step process we have gone through to create the Pit Stop (the waiting room for The Happy Place).  This starts with initial drawing and sketches and leads up to the final environment as we see it today -


Currently, Megan has shared almost the same images as myself, minus all of the individual posts of team members.  Here is a screenshot of the Instagram page as it stands -

Optimising Models

To optimise our scene even further, myself and our Director, Cassie, decided to start deleting faces for various models in our scene that are never seen by the user.  These are mainly on furniture, large counters, table items, counter items, fridge and kitchen door.  In this blog, I will post the videos of a few of the newly optimised models, some images from the process and explanations from other blogs and videos I watched as to how basic models need to be to ensure our scene is optimised as much as it can be. I found the article from Evermotion on optimising scenes to be very helpful in giving me the knowledge and understanding of why optimisation is such a large part of a project such as ours.  The real time rendering that we will be using within unity is processing a lot of information at one time.  If a project has a lot of textures, geometry and animation, this can be described as an expensive project.  Not that it costs a lot of money, but rather i...

CV and Business Card

Before heading into the big bad world of employment and potential freelance work, it is essential we leaving Undergraduate level with a professional portfolio of components we can use to sell our skills and help put us on the industry map to propel us towards a future career. This is in regards to two main pieces of self promotion.  The CV and business card.  It is important we have these designed, printed and accessible on the night of our end of year show so that company reps, directors and other industry members can view our projects and then take something tangible away from it to remember who we are and what we are capable of. When it comes to CV, I have always been taught through my years of business orientated education that it is simple, clean and not overly creative.  I was always taught that colour is tacky, images are resented and icons are acceptable but need to remain minimal.  When I approached this initial design stage of an updated and a...

Expressions and Animation Testing

As key posing and refining animation have begun and have progressed, myself, Lorna and Megan who are animating our narrative, decided we needed to gather a larger collection of research.  For this research, we wanted to gain both primary and secondary assets that could be used to assist us in giving our characters life, personality and attitude.  We knew that the best way to do this, yes, is the way the voices are recorded and spoken, but from an animation perspective, it all comes down to body language and emotional expressions. With this in mind, we set out to gather our own, and trusted research material that could be used as reference for us as we develop our animations.  Firstly, we captured images of our own faces portraying various emotions as we see them.  Secondly we were fortunate enough to receive a book full of expressions and references from our tutor Henry, and this was so valuable to us and we took many photos of the emotions and shared them on ou...
