The Final Presentation went better than I expected! Feedback was generally positive and constructive and any flaws that were pointed out were things Lynn and I had already discussed.
This was an ambitious project, and one that I was perhaps not duly prepared for at the time.
Ultimately I am happy that we managed to achieve what we set out to do, but I wish I had been able to get a handle on the direction of the piece earlier in the semester. There is very little narrative to be gleamed from the overall piece but it achieved the goal I set out to investigate the potential uses of VFX in narrative and successful or not, that is what I achieved,

Exhibition
I've been thinking about the showcase exhibition and the need to update my CV, get business cards and set up a website.
I have set up the link to a website, which currently has placeholder pages!

I tried out some particle tests for use on the business cards. I'm unconvinced about the style for the moment.
I will need to get some posters printed as well and spend time this week working on the breakdown of my VFX

Edited Video
Here is the final piece as I was able to achieve before submissions!
Am I happy with the final result? Not particularly, but ultimately it provided the platform for an exploration of VFX for which I was looking. I've said since the start it was never about creating a story for me but the story was necessary to explore the potential of digital VFX.
I was able to explore set extensions, blue/green screen, rotoscoping, colour correction and grading, camera tracking and not to forget my (attempt) to learn a little about video cameras as well.
It has been fun collaborating (unofficially) with Harry Ip and I thank Andrew McIntosh and Jeff for their help. Not to mention the support from staff. This has been a tough year but I feel I have a place to build from for the first time in a good few years.

Last Honours Project Meeting
Today was our last honours project meeting. I showed Lynn the effects on the video and she seemed happy enough with the results. The aim then is to get as much prepped as possible for submission on Monday. I will attempt to finish the smoke animation when my character first back at Jeff and then finalise submissions and the blog this weekend ready to go.
My final presentation is on Monday as well. We had a rehearsal this afternoon, the e-mail about which I missed so I was unprepared but I gave it a go anyway and it was very helpful to hear some feedback about what to talk about for my project
