Personal Development Part1, blog1

First blog, for the first part of the Personal Development chapter to the course. It's a wee bit late, but as it goes better late than never.

I just picked up DIGIT magazine from April 2005, The first article to catch my eye was called ANIMATICS, maybe this is because i have just handed in my animation project.
If you can't be bothered reading it i'll sum it up. It says when George Lucas made the the original Star Wars trilogies he did his animatics hand drawn with loads of detail and used archived footage of WWII, but now with CGI technology he make use programs like Maya to do animatics much quicker.

Whilst reading this i kept on thinking the original trilogy is miles better than the prequels. And it is probably these little details that made the films better. Don't get me wrong i love CGI animations and SFX, however when it comes down to animatics you should use what gets your ideas across the best.
