For DGA 210 I finished off two of my shots this week, the first being the family glancing between each other, and the second being the simple end shot of the Shelterbox logo. The shots were fairly easy to do so it gave me more time to focus on continuing shot 3, the longest shot I was assigned. This one has been a challenge to complete since the decision was made to have Shelterbox run back out of the shot again at the end, so I need to re-animate the entire run cycle.

For DGA 220 I finalised my essay outline. I decided to focus on the advantages of open source software, as it is what I believe in, and I found many benefits that outweigh the risks. However, I did first and foremost explain the functions of various open source software, how they impact on the animation industry and what the purpose of them are. All I need to do now is the write up.

For DGA 230 I finished a piece of concept art for Alienation. My goal was to capture the intense and gloomy atmosphere and tone of the film, so I made use of shadows and framing to create the right mood. I was proud of how the piece came out, but I experimented with both textured brushes and flats. In the end the flats were more true to the chosen artist style.
