it all happened on a tuesday

..which is like, a really insignificant member of the time unit also known as the "week".

Tuesday 18th of January on the other hand immediately gave that reputation a massive push toward the better. As passe as the concept of emailing might seem to some, good news sometimes travel through this medium. In this case, the groups were published for our Digital Media Studio Project course.

Team members (alphabetical order):

Jie Cai

Daniel Diaz

Kevin Hung

Hyejeong Jin

Johanna Johansson

Ali Murray

Project supervisors:

Themis Argyropoulos

Artemis Neofytou

This is all part of the University of Edinburgh MSc Design and Digital Media programme's Digital Media Studio Project course. As the Digital Storytelling team, our initial brief / project outline was as follows:

"The aim of this project is to create a visually interesting 3D animated film, based on an imaginative scenario, inspired by students, in order to introduce this modern/digital way of storytelling to the audience. An important part of this proposal is the development of characters, not necessarily human-like, since it’s of great significance to understand the weight of expressions and kinesiology in 3D animations. Accordingly the conception of imaginative environments is a vital part of the whole apparatus. The basic medium for converting a short story to a short film will be all the features and tools that Blender software has to offer."

Today, during the course of our second group meeting we established a name for our team which, as the title suggests, is: Raiding Rabbit Studios. Seeing the end product, also known as our massively awesome animation, the chosen name will (hopefully) make sense.

We have now worked out a storyline and during the weekend we'll all sit down and scribble, dribble, doodle and so on trying to work out the style and design, the look and the feel.

That's it for now folks! 

Let the weekend commence!
