Superhero Project Semester 1

                                      Superhero Project

      For the first quarter of senior animation I'm making a group, story animation with my friends Alan Seidl and Jeremy Ingalls. For the Project we are having a "superhero" who is very bad at his job take down an evil doer, who in reality is just an average pizza guy. It's taking place in a city environment. We split up the work so it would be a lot faster to finish the project. Alan started to work on the first scenes environment and just started on animation. Jeremy started to work on the second scene. I worked on both the main character and pizza man, which including modeling and rigging the character. Because I finished my characters, because I spent some time out of class, I'm helping Jeremy and Alan finish the scenes. We've had some problems with the rig because it was my first time rigging a character but for the most part the the rig ended up pretty well. We were going to have the character have a cape but after roughly two days of work on it we decided it would make animation a lot harder. I gave my two characters to Alan and he has started animating the first scene. Jeremy was having slight difficulty with the second scene so the remainder of my efforts are being used on helping Jeremy finish the second scene, then i'll probably help Alan animate depending on how much he gets done.

Quarter 2 Update- In Quarter my group and I were able to finish the project. Since Quarter 1 I took over the majority of the responsibility creating the second scene. Jeremy made a building for it. Alan and I both started to animate using the rigs on 1st and 2nd scenes respectively. As we started to animate and finish scenes we would hand them off to Jeremy so he could compile them and edit them in iMovie. Overall, I feel like our project could have turned out better if we had more organization and less confusion on who was doing what. That being said I very much like the outcome of our Animation.
