New projects!

Well the deadline for the postman and sofa shorts has been pushed back to December which gives me more time to add polish and relax a bit!

I'm gonna keep working on it but progress might be a bit slower with having a few new projects on the go! I would like to get one shot from the postman short totally animated and rendered in the next few weeks though.

New projects are a group project with a bunch of old coursemates and a little art test for a company back in Leicester.

The group project needs some story ideas to be done in about 2 weeks, no final script of anything just an outline so I've been getting my story cap on lately and seeing what I can come up with. Reading a lot of old mythology and one norse myth in particular could be translated to a short well. I've got a concept for that story but there isn't much meat to it at the moment so I'll work on that. Aswell as that I've got some old story ideas I've been sitting on so I'll start writing them too.

The art test is to make a well lit, well integrated character. I've been looking into mental ray and how to get some really nice renders out of it, and doing some quick render tests. I'm building the character at the moment, without reference which is never a good idea but it's pretty basic so shouldn't be a problem.

I'll post some pics up when I have em, hopefully the character will be modelled by the end of the day!

Cheers
