E6 Radio 3D Animation Production LogCassie Coyne

To start the new Unit Team Leaders were chosen to create forums on the eccles moodle website for team members to post on.

So I created a new forum under the Unit 67 Animation title, and gave it my name so my team would know where to post their ideas and could easily find it.

Creating my Forum

Creating the discussion topics

Then I created a new discussion topic for each relevant task needed to complete, so the team could post their work on there. I did this by clicking the button highlighted.

Then I simply gave the discussion topic a relevant title , then added a small message telling the team what they should post in the specific topic.

Ethical Checklist

Before we started working on the ideas for the radio station animation, as the Team Leader I had to make sure that the Ethical Checklist Agreement was set up for everyone to sign and fill in. I did this by downloading the document from moodle, then using an old image of my signature and copy an pasting it into the space for my name.

The same as the other times I created discussion topics for the group, I posted a new topic with the title Ethical Checklist then uploading the correct document I just filled in to it so the rest of the group could easily find everything and upload their work promptly.

Collaboration Agreement

For the Collaboration Agreement, I worked the same as wit the Ethical, and downloaded the document from moodle, and used the old signature, then filled in the necessary information about me including my name, address, postcode, telephone number and my email address.

Then I uploaded the work I did under the title Collaboration and let the others reply with their work.

Existing Radio Station Research

To get started with the task, as a team we researched into existing radio stations to get a better idea of what is already out there.

I created a discussion forum for this and uploaded my own work by using the attach button at the bottom of the page before posting it as shown below.

When my team wanted to post their work under the specific title, they simply clicked reply and uploaded a small message and an attachment like me.

Pooled Ideas Generation

The next task for the group was the pooled ideas generation.

For this we all individually, used a light hearted approach and created numerous rough drafts of possible ideas for the radio station on paper. Almost like a mood board of sketches.

Then once we had each contributed our ideas and looked them over as a group, we decided the on the best ideas and what we could use together. After discussing all the ideas we decided to mix two of mine and one of Sam's ideas together. We chose to do the flipbook idea with a boom box sound system and the spinning number ‘9’ which turns into a ‘6’ and becomes the e6 logo.

Everyone’s Individual Tasks

The group was assigned their individual tasks for the e6 logo animation.

1. Me – My task was to complete the base for the animation which was the flipbook, which I did in Flash.

2. Jordan- Had to create the e6 logo3. Sam- Created the 3D boom box in

light wave modeller.

Rough Story board

For the rough storyboard, as I was the best at drawing on my team I volunteered to sketch out the rough idea of what was going to happen.

The pages below show the number of frames, what happens during those frames and how it all plays out and how it is linked to the e6 radio station with the logo at the end.

Final Story Board

For the final story board I used the images of the rough storyboard sketches and the logo Jordan made for the final frame; then I typed in the text boxes underneath the pictures a summary of what was happening in them and how things were playing through, and then uploaded it to the moodle site with the rest of the work.
