YMCA Planning - Week 2

We have visitied the YMCA also called 'The Y Club' we have taken from the different activities including 'Rock school, young carers and social acknowledgement' we have chosen to do the live music that the Y Club has to offer.


From the presentation given to us we were told that one of the main attractions needed advertisment to encourage people to join was the live music to attract more of an older crowd (13-18?) to the venue. An aim along with this is to show that the live music is not only a certain type but features a wide amount of music genres.


After we have arranged into a group we have discussed and planned out ideas which we could use in an animation which could attract the target audience covering equally each popular music genre.

Week1 - Reflection on brief

From the brief there is much potential for this to be a fun and exciting project. There does seem to be a lot to put in a short amount of time since the pratical pieces will probably take a lot of time to design and implement. The YMCA gives many prospects to animate upon which is both a blessing and a curse as the ideas will have to be wittled down to a suitable one.

The modeling technique looks complex and time consuming but after getting used to the technique it should become easier to do after a few attempts and getting to know it more on impulse. Though I have always wanted to try character modeling and being able to model a real face will probably aid this well.
