Introduction

The following blog is in place to document my work and methods towards the 'Advanced Character Animation' module at Thames Valley University. I plan to update this blog on a regular basis.

Unfortunatley at this current time the '10 sec Club' website is closed for a few weeks due to a virus. Hopefully this won't affect students too much....

Regardless, my first task is to get some of my ideas on paper for Assignment 1/2 and post them up here.... hopefully the site won't be down for too long...

A brief explanation of the assignments are as follows:-

Assignment 1 (15%):

Presentation of character project proposal (Also submitted as a written pitch)

Hand-in: Hard copy 500 words, illustrated.

Hand-in to Tutor after presentation
