Group Meeting 1

The first group meeting was setup for Monday 5th, and even though only two members managed to make it to the meeting some good ideas were discussed. We looked at what exhibits were on offer at the museum.

We ruled out producing an animation that represented how electricity is produced. This was due to the museum already having a physical representation.

The first idea we had was to produce an animated version of an engine that the museum owns. In the meeting notes (below) you can see what me and Kiel discussed as to what aspects of the animation would be important.

Another suggestion to what the group could produce was the pendulum clock. With its simple design, made of basic shaped parts. The only problem was making this into an interesting animation.



The next offical group meeting has been set for Monday 12th October. Here we will discuss in detail what the group believe should be animated within the engine, a shot sequence (storyboard) and possibly a delegation of tasks.


After the initial discussion I am pleased with what Kiel has managed to collect so far. He has a number of detailed pictures of the couple of engines, and has managed to find a design of inside an engine.

If the group can get together often enough then I believe we can succesfully answer the brief.
