Catch up!!!!

Such a long week even though its only Wednesday, SO much changes and SO much fuss. Basicly our group objective was to create an enviroment based on the tom and jerry theme but with a cockraoch instead of the mouse who will wonder around the kitchen. During the last weeks of deadline, our schedule stated that animation will start 2 or 3 weeks before deadline, so we would have enough time to solve any mishaps that may occur during rendering. Wht had happend is that we had fallen behind of the schedule because we just kept on modelling and modelling even do i stated that we need to get a start on the animation. I understand that we are just using one scene which we need to add as many objects in, but still modelling when deadline is near is a no no. Because of this we are no longger animating the cockraoch and placing him in the scene. Yesturday me and dean stayed till 8 trying to sort of the animation for the cockroach by parenting the camera to it so it would come out as a over the head shot. While playing round with the camera while dean was sorting out the lighting, i was getting fustrated as it would not animate to the way i wanted it.

I said is enough it enough and just wanted to smash the screen because i was soo annoyed, we just came to the conclusion of just doing a first person camera fly through the scene instead of our original idea of the cockraoch. What we have done now is for each of us to animate our own camera in three different kitchen scenes so after rendering we just add the lot together. I managed to do my bit with the camera and took a total of 900 frames, still need to add richs and deans ones. The animation i produced of the door and so on will hopefuly be shown in either richs or deans animation, but in the end i still would of like to see the animation between the cockraoch and the kitchen.
