reflect each persons drawing
and sympathises with the way
they have been drawn.
2. How to model in 3D but keep
the initial scratchiness of the
drawings.

are very similar but different to
define each model

 Using Voice Overs
The chosen responses to each question arent necessarily chosen
because of the drawing skills. Some have been chosen due to the
written response. The style of the piece is a mockumentary and as each
one appears onscreen with a looped animated movement, a voice over will be
heard reading the written response.
The text will be appearing on screen, around / next to / alongside the
animated pieces in time to the voice over like some music videos feature.
Each voice over will be recorded by a professional and will be as close to
the accent, age range and gender of the original artist as possible. This
way no distracting background noises will be heard. It may be necessary
to add in a few extra words here and there to make it flow better but it will
be as close to the original as possible.

Goals For Minor Project
My goal for this project is to push myself to create models and textures
that reflect the participants to the best of my ability. Without their input, my
project would have nothing and I want to honour their designs.
I also want to push myself to create a brand for my work and have a
consistent theme through out the Art of, animation and ultimately on my
blog too. I want to build an Art of to sum up this project to the highest
standards that I can possibly achieve.
Im hoping to get some more results back before the January deadline.
Originally around 20 kits were sent out but so far I have only received
back 8. Ultimately this may change the final piece but I think it would be
interesting to see more peoples responses. Already a theme of glass
domes has started to appear across several peoples work and I would
be interested to see if this carried on or if any other common theme
popped up.
