Monday Meeting

As already said in the group blog. Today's meeting with Mike and David was not as expected. But it's still good... for our story after all. I can't be more agree with them on the dummy project to be honest. It's simple: if a 3rd year animation project can be finished in 4 weeks time, then where the heck do we (all the free-lancers) get our marks from? And i think it is fair to say, after all the research i found dazzens of good 3D dummy animations on youtube. I wouldn't say our story is as good, but if JB is purely aiming for a high-res 'looking' to make our project stand out, then...it's very likely we are going to sunk, to wherever.

So, i'm quite pleased in the end both JB and our team opened up our mind for new revolutional ideas. After the meeting I showed JB this video:



It's so good, we have decided to make something JUST LIKE IT!
no im joking....
but we quite like the idea with the heart, the evil female, the change of the male. We think rather than making the female dummy a...well, in the orginal idea she was pretty much just a part of the environment... so we think we can bring her personality out a lot more and change the story in definte.


Well, for the pirate project, just like Lewis Taylor our beloved director have already said on the group-blog, he is so right that I am going to quote what he said...
'Story Nuked! the meeting with Mike and Dave was interesting. They raised some good points...mainly 'Why'. We went through so many ideas, are they toys, are they mascots, do they exist within the box? Soooooo many things. We should all take a night to come up with some ideas and meet first thing tomorrow! '

And so we did. I think what's most likely going to happen is the number of charater is going to drop down to something like 2 or 3. How the story is going to change? tough.
