Thursday 2nd May

Before we got cracking on any work, John wanted emails from us all stating what work we had outstanding and in prioritised order. This is so he had an idea of what work we had left to finish off. When I finished writing the list of tasks I had left to complete, I thought it was a lot of work. But when I started moving down the list, I realised that it actually wasn't that much as the title suggests, the tasks for the day included a variety of units. I started out with finishing my animation with Dan as we knew that it would only take us half an hour to an hour tops to complete the whole animation. As we were filming the animation, Zu3D became incredibly laggy and very slow at responding, which made taking frames more frustrating because when you would press the button, it looked like nothing had happened. So if you clicked it again, more frames would be taken, which was not the idea we wanted.

Despite that we still managed to finish the animation, now comes the editing process. Dan wanted to get on with other work so I let him do that. I started on the editing and taking some images out to make it a lot smoother. After 10-15 minutes of doing that I realised I needed to recover my website that I had lost when my pen drive killed itself. After somehow recovering it (had no idea how I did it as recovering programs wouldn't recover the file format) I started editing my website again and asked John to help me out as I wanted to change the colour of the buttons, we managed to figure it out and I achieved what I wanted to achieve.

Overall I enjoyed today because it was more relaxed and we were able to do a variety of work and get one with them. It was also enjoyable as John seemed very relaxed and let us listen to some music throughout the day. I also learned more about teamwork and how to create a successful 3D animation.
