Finally I can offical say that on tuesday, I presented my pitch for my Individual Project. So I can now share my idea and story on here... I have decided to create a short live action film with added visual effects. I am basing my story on the elements of Time Travel and also Parallel worlds. The story will follow a girl who is walking along a road back to her home, where she closes her eyes and opens them to find she has gone back in time and at the foot of a small country lane. She walks along the lane and see's many strange and unique elements. Continuing on the lane she starts to get scared and tries to run back and then finds herself transported to a dense, dark woods. Again scared and confused she tries to find a way out, when she gets the sense that something or someone is following her. She quickly turns around to find a replica staring at her.

Well today I had my green light pitch meeting for Individual Specialisation, and Im pleased to say that it went well. The only thing I had to change is the title, so my new title is A comparison of techniques for crowd simulation. I am really looking foward to this module, even though most of it is research, I know I will find this interesting and something new to learn and discover. Also today me and my group had our first team meeting for design for indusrty. The project for this is to create an animation piece on how to drive responsible, and present this in a fun and engaging way.

As of next week I will be pitching my ideas for both my Individual Project and Individual Specialisation. Im not going to go into detail on my Individual Project as of yet as I want to keep my idea under wraps until I have presented it... But I am more than happy to share with you my idea for my specialisation project... Basically the course Individual Specialisation consists of me chosing a subject of my choice and researching this in great detail and presenting my findings in a report and video log. Because I am very keen on the VFX industry I am proposing my research on how VFX make the impossible possible or how VFX can save money for the industry. I can not say that I will get to do these topics, as I have to discuss this with my tutor tommorow... but fingers crossed I will be able to pitch one of these ideas for my presentaion next week. When I have presented both these pitches and have been given the green light go ahead I will post these on here for you all to see......
