Part of my box...

Below is a picture taken from the animation i'm creating for my box. Its a fight scene between two robots. These pictures have been rendered but not to a top level quality.

Research...?

Research is such a powerful tool if your able to apply it correctly. Researching specifically (Interim) or whether its exploring (Exploratory) can take you to different places as depth is an important part for applying research as well a broadened knowledge.  If was to choose one starting point that I felt i was more drawn to it would have to be 'in front of' as its what the viewers collect from what you have shown them in which i believe is an extremely important part of research as you can receive feedback from the work done. This allows for specific tweaking which initially improves the work solidly.  I feel weary of 'in/through' as for me i find it hard sometimes to visualize someone else's work and how it all came together, as it was their own creativity that brought all their work together to create the final product and for me, the only person who can understand their work truly is the creator.  'For' research would be my choice if i was to pick a type of reseach that I feel is irrelevant. This is due to 'For' research being what else is happening in other disciplines, and therefore being less valuable information as the work being researched should be the main focus, however the 'For' research still plays an important role.


My Creaivity...?

For the past couple of years, since i can remember drawing in my art classes in high school, i've always allowed my creativity to explode on paper. I've always enjoyed brainstorming by sketching, as it really disables all barriers to what the mind wants to create. But as i look back, i've realised that throughout my years at school, i've only used my creativity when needed, for a project or when i was told to do so. Who has it been for? When i've thought about my life during school and A levels I realised that my creativity was for the purpose of my work, to achieve the highest possible grade. However since the start of university i've applied my creativity for both myself and my work.  My future? Im hoping to apply my creativity towards animation as thats where i hope i find myself in the future, but also i'd like to apply it to my own hobbies such as graphic design and sketching.
