Now I have finally made it into the second year I can start
to see how much I have progressed through the first year, not just with 3ds max
but with drawing, Photoshop and adopting a way of learning that suits me.
Having these fundamental skills gives me the ability to concentrate less on the
finals and how I’m actually going to do them and more on the ideas, concepts
and planning of any projects.
For me, a stressful first year was all about
learning the foundations for example, learning new software, presenting work effectively
and how the course runs. I know the second year will be a lot harder and
probably even more stressful (I hear in the group projects) but I have already
found in this first project that I’m not worrying about as many things.
Projects this year will be a lot more interesting as I have found already. This
time last year I would have been panicking about weather I would have finished
the work in time for the deadline, now I have finished the work with plenty of
time left to so anything I don’t think is right again and I can think about the
best way to present my work professionally, I have even been looking into how
to make a quick video of the project. Having developed the skills and knowledge
in first year allows me to think about the projects in advanced way.
‘For me. Life is continuously being hungry’ this is part of
a quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger in his body building documentary I watch a
while ago ‘Pumping Iron’. In this documentary Arnold is constantly eating he
needs to fuel his body with high protein, high carb meals as a body builders
diet is essential to succeed in any competition. Although I am interested in
sports and often go to the gym, this doesn’t have much relevance to what I am
studying but I found myself always using it to motivate myself. I talk about
this because it’s exactly how I feel about the second year, I find with the
right motivation and dedication I can succeed this year. I’m excited about the
new projects and also the thought of possibly finding myself work experience
through the summer!
My ambition for the second year is to leave with more than
60%, I hope to achieve this through all 3 modules but am yet to find an area I wish
to pursue. A lot of people on the course know which direction they are headed
for example, they want to be a character artists or environmental artists.
Hopefully as I progress through the year I can think about it more and decide
on which area I would succeed in. I have recently taken an interest in weapons
but I’m not sure if that’s because I have been playing Borderlands 2 who won
the award for the most amount of weapons in a game! Look how good these are!!
