Voice Recording and Lip Sync

While being away in the States during November, I was able to record the voice for our AI waitress in the main animation. During another trip within the last week, I was able to record our script from the teaser trailer that our team is producing for the End of Year Show premier. We are very grateful to Mattie Winowitch for her generosity in her time and vocal talent to assist us in making our project what it is and being such an iconic voice for our waitress. THANK YOU MATTIE!!

Prop Animation

Alongside our character animation, there is more to our scene that just an environment and moving characters. The assets that these characters engage and draw attention to, also play an important part in the overall dynamic and quality of the story. Assets such as the coffee pot, paper, crayons, clock, cloth and menu are some of the elements of our project that also need to be animated and worked with in partnership with our characters. Within this blog, I will discuss the process of animating these elements and provide playblast videos of what these models look like in action. Firstly, our menu. The menu has been talked about a lot ever since we have our story line finalised way back in October. We never really tied down how this object would appear, how it would animate and what features it would have. Originally, the AI waitress would pull the menu out from behind her back when welcoming us, set it on the table and it would come to life....

Personal Reflection - Final Year

As the time to submit our project approaches faster than ever, it feels right to look back yea, at the last several months, yes over the last year of Uni, but also, over the last four years I have spent at Ulster University. 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...
