Details are sketchy

Ok. So i've been absent for a while.. partly as i've had loads of work to do and partly as i've been pretty lazy recently. But now i've decided I will keep this up and put more effort into wirtitng it.

Since i've been gone. We've had a lot of animation-related work to submit and thankfully that's over with and we've started with some stuff that's a bit more fun and I can focus my efforts on.
One of the things we have to do is a wiki on Batman :D What else could I ask for? i get to delve into a character that i've always liked and look at his character more and how it has developed over the last 70 years and why it has changed. Great project, I think it should go well as i also get to share the workload with Basil ( http://theinflamedtime.blogspot.com/ ).

We've also finally been given a teacher who wants to teach us :D He's great at getting the basics of the program (3DS Max) across to us, at the same time letting us practice and just kind of play around with the software, which sounds like we're not doing work but we are and i've learnt more yesterday than I have probabably all last year on the program and i'm really looking forward to next weeks seminar.

So i'll be practicing 3D modelling and animation all day today, looking at possiblilties for a project for this subject, Man and Machine. Should be an awesome topic and i've already got ideas running around my head so i'll work on them asap.

Aside from work, i've been trying to practice drawing whenever I can and doing the general stuff like watching DVD's, especially trying to catch up with Supernatural, which is now one of my all time favourite shows. And i'm annoyed to hear FOX has cancelled yet ANOTHER awesome show, Dollhouse which i've found to have a real following and i'm surprised at this.

Oh i've also recently bought Dragon Age: Origins. Made by Bioware, it's pretty awesome and i've tried not to compare it to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic as that's one of my favourite games of all time and although it does carry some of the same elements, as it is a medieval/fantasy style game it also definitely has some elements from games such as Fable 2 and Oblivion. Which of course is great as I also love these two games. It seems you need to dedicate a lot of time ot this game as there is a rich storyline and a lot of backstory to get through, all with some great action and Bioware's trademark system of allignments, this time not of good and evil but how friendly you are with each playable character, much like KOTOR 2. Overall this is a great game and once I get enough time i'll play my way through it :)

A random review there. Maybe I should make my blog a review blog :P

Oh and not to forget I got an interview at HMV on thursday, can't wait I might actually be able to earn some money :D

Well that's all from me I think i'll try to get on tomorrow to tell you what thrilling things happened to me today... Bye :)

Soooo not updated for a few days :P but here we go.

I've been really busy getting all my uni work done. A podcast, presentation and 3D modelling work.
So yeah a fair bit. We're doing a presentation on Commodity Culture and the Simpsons. Sound fun.. well it isn't it's boring as hell and two lines were missing from the top of each page in the reading we were given for it.. so quite difficult to read.
That's tomorrow and i'm nervous as I always am before presentations :( I've known the people i'm presenting to for a year now and likeliness is i'll still be a babbling fool when i get up there.
Then we have the podcast.. I hate doing these normally but this one went down fine.. second recording and i'm happy with it :D Just got to hand that in tomorrow woop!
But the thing i'm really excited about is my progress on 3DS Max. It seems like a pretty intimidating program but once you get used to it it's pretty awesome. I'm currently animating a fight scene between two characters. It's an assessed exercise to help us develop natural movements and i'm really enjoying it.
Um... I've not spent to much but acquired loads of DVD's in the past few days and some would probably say a weird mixture but I like them :D

Dogma, Mallrats, My Neighbour Totoro, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Karate Kid 1,2 and 3 (In a badass tin XD), Butterfly Effect and The Craft.

HMV having a sale.. means a much more awesome October :D

Anyway bye for now should be back soon.
