Hayle, continued.

There is an obsession with most of the groups to use sepia and mixed mediums for the Hayle animation. For me it just shows what a strong picture the words of the interviewees (?) put over. Also it highlighted the way that an animation can gain a lot of direction when the sound is made before the animation.
The team is getting on pretty well and i feel that the pre-production and prodution are well on the way. Because we are dealing with two different time-periods the look can be changed to suit. In our case we are using 2d for the older 1940's stuff with some hand-drawn animation. I feel that this has to be got on with asap as it could be quite time consuming. The 3-d stuff is being modelled as planned and the shading is being done by one person as planned.
Had fun moddelling a ball of wool in a wicker basket today; used two different methods. I bump maped the wool and made the basket out of separate straws. Both i feel went well, but i must make sure my images for the bump map are dark/light enough in future (so the bump definition shows up).
