Week 5: Seminar and 1-1 support
Key summary:
•Part 1: We will finish the last 3 groups’ informal discussion and presentation
•Part 2: Group seminar & feedback session. For this activity to work, if you are in the same group then please don’t sit together, we will be doing a design activity to help you to take your project forward.
Summary of your work
- What is it?
This is a story.
The martial god Ivy alone guards the artifact of his former comrade-in-arms (lover) by the sacred tree of the altar.
The cool water of the divine pool suppressed the soul of the spear, and the comrades-in-arms died in front of them and turned into this wisp of soul into their own artifacts, desperately trying to protect their own lovers. Even after many years of death, this wisp of soul does not forget the infinite intention of fighting and killing.
Ivy Looked at the restless spirits in the pool, full of sentimentality, and paced into the formation. The spear seemed to sense the call of its lover and began to emit a piercing beep. Yu Shi was touched by the love of his comrades-in-arms and decided to accompany the spear to dance for a while. With his right hand outstretched, the spear flew in.
What is its purpose?
Make a Chinese-style animated short with fighting
What are the key features?
Chinese style, with fighting embodies inheritance and a sense of fate.
Role assignments and group responsibilities?
I’m a 3D animation major, so I’m in charge of adjusting the animation, storyboards, and cameras.
What does the work aim to achieve?
Concept – what is its novelty?
This short film has battles and scenes, and there are many online novels that have been sold for copyright and 3D animations, almost all of which are in this style. So I want to make an animation with this.
What is driving the narrative? What is the development process?
There are characters’ battles and characters’ memories, and these two parts are interspersed with flashbacks to advance the story.
What is the practical scope of your research? – Think about how your knowledge and skillsets compliment your collaborators’
I have experience working in a 3D animation company and know how to do 3D animation and storytelling, so I can use this knowledge to help my peers make 3D animations. And my mates will help with what they know about rigging, modeling, lighting, and work on the whole thing together.
Target users/audience
Who is the work aimed at?
Mainly young people like me want to be a hero.
What aspects of the work have been chosen due to this?
I’m a 3D animation major, so I’m in charge of adjusting the animation, storyboards, and cameras.
Why have you chosen this target user/audience demographic?
Technical
What techniques are you and your collaborators employing to achieve your goal?
The main software used in technology is Maya, because it is a very good software for animation, and modeling in Maya is also because the problems that will occur when transferring models between different software will be greatly reduced, This also facilitates the cooperation of various departments.
