It's good to be back...

So the first couple of weeks back at uni has been relatively uneventful but I've certainly had things to think about. I'm currently thinking about the aim and objects of my honours project which will eventually from the basis of my dissertation and title of the project in general.

I knew coming into 4th year that I wanted to do an animation, and I've been toying with the idea of doing it in stereoscopic 3d as it is now fairly common place within animation. There are many obstacles that lie in the way of this idea, mainly to do with the fact that i’m starting from square one with regards to Stereoscopic film.

There are easier things to solve in the meantime such as which story I’m going to develop. I already have a couple of ideas and I'm in the process of storyboarding them now.

Hopefully the boards will be finished soon and I can get them up on here to look at but in the meantime this is a link to a video that one of lectures showed us last week. It’s about inspiration and developing ideas.

wasn't really sure what this building was but it looked as thought it might have been used for kennels in the woods around Armadale Castle
