Reflective Evaluation
All in all I think my final piece came out really well. The best part about this unit for me was the modelling and idea generating as they were the parts I enjoyed the most. I know that I needed to improve on my pre production work as I was lacking with the concept are and storyboards. The concept art needed more detail and needed to show different prospective shots of the environment I planned to create. The other point I needed to improve on was my time management because I did not stick to my progress plan and struggled with time, mainly due to the insane render times of my frames. However, I solved that problem by animating camera shots in After Effects rather than in Maya.
Lighting was an issue for me at first because I had a very clear image of the type of lighting I wanted in my scene and yet I couldnt get that to happen within Maya. I did manage to achieve some nice moonlight though with the help of Steve the guest lecturer.
Although there was a few issues during this unit I think I managed to solve them quite well and finished with a good environment piece.
