The great globe research part 2a

I am still awaiting for replies from the emails but while I was waiting I decided to try and scrape more information from the Internet and I found some really useful stats for the basic size for the main sphere.

1 inch = 10 miles for the longitude and latitude (this can be used to calculate the circumference I just need to find out how large they thought the world was in 1851)

3 inches = 10 miles for altitude (this being a larger amount than the previous it means that the globe was intentionally distorted when they created it)

painted onto plaster of Paris (this could help selecting the material settings)

I also found a colour image of the ouside giving me a colour scheme to work from.

The great globe research part 2

the quest continues! after searching the library i still could not get any usable information about wyld's globe, i have now resorted to emailing the London Metropolitan Archives for anything related to it, i will post back as soon as i get anything.

spiderman goes acting

ah to be relieved and having a 14hour sleep afterwards i am pleased of how our group project turned out given all the bumps on the road we have had to hit with a sledge hammer to carry on. Here it is:

the group agree that the pigeon scene doesn't look right but i believe this is due to time problems as we were strapped for it by the time we got round to doing that scene.

Genre change - trailer

Here it is squeezed in at the last minute the trailer i made from Toy Story and genre changed it to that of a horror film.

Adobe CS4 is useless

i HAD cs4 until a moment ago just after premiere decided hey lets open up the file and look pretty, then as i was about to continue with the video editing i had to re-render the frames, after this the preview images were screwed and i couldn't correct it.

i then decided to install and open up the file in cs3 but alas its is corrupted. i have had to start back from the last auto save which was ages ago. Pretty much an all nighter to catche this back up again.

on a side note previous errors before this one has made me fully realise CS4 SUCKS and to that end i will never use it again.

poster change

Here is a quick poster based on shaun of the dead and the sixth sense. since shaun of the dead is mainly a COMEDY about zombies and not actually a horror film so i thought what if it really was. This idea only came about by accidentally pausing shaun of the dead while a person running past happened to blur giving the impression of a ghost reminding me of sixth sense.

Oh god deadline soon!

Well to put a long story very short, this narrative project is taking much longer than anticipated to even get to the animated stage.

Todd only recently finished rigging spiderman, i have been tasked with rigging the pigeon due to todd taking a fair while to do that and on top of things we have have not been able to see what leroy has done throughout the holiday so me and todd will have to try to pick up any potential slack, even if he has done the work and not told us we'll be pressuming he hasn't and will start work on the environments.

and to top it off the snow! all in all a very "happy" holiday.


EDIT: Todd has just informed me that he got a text very recently and just forgot to tell me, in this text leroy said that he was doing some of the work its just that he had no internet. (he still could have text before then though).
