Hey,

Animation’s starting now on Boyracer, we’ve got all of our models modelled, we’ve got our shaders we just need to start applying them and we have a good idea of lighting so things are starting to come together. That means that this week is for animating, something I think we’re all very happy to have finally got to, we’re still making tweeks to the rig as James and I continue to push it and break it but we’re all working together well to get both a good rig and good animation.

Hi,

Welcome to my blog, I’m going to use  this space to charter my progression as I continue to learn more and more about animation everyday.

For the foreseeable future it’s going to focus on my current second year film Boyracer. Boy racer is a project that I’m working on with two other very talented students (https://jamespwsaunders.wordpress.com/) we have under two months left on this project to create a minute and a half (…although we may have well over-run that) long short.

The story if of a little boy, Phillip, who is a huge formula 1 fan in the 1970’s the height of James Hunt’s career. Phillip wants nothing more than to emulate his hero, Hunt, and so he builds himself a go-kart and sets off down the biggest hill he can find but all doesn’t go well! But will Phillip give up on his dream?
