Coming Together - Tom Clarkson

Been a very busy patching session the last few days, very confusing at times with very simple maths. Here is an example of what the conditions look like at our final question (Paul drew up the diagram)

 

This designed up in a patch has been the most confusing thing ever, but it's starting to come together with some newly found max objects. Hope all goes well tomorrow!

The "splash page" (as I like to call it) is working fine after a few number of issues but all seems good with testing so far. The only thing left after the game patch is complete is linking them together and hoping all works well.

Quiz Questions - Ian

I have written the multiple choice questions for the quiz section of the project. Each charm has 3 questions, each question has a choice of 4 possible answers. It was quite hard to make 3 questions up for some of the charms.

Audio Mixing - Ian

I used Pro-Tools (My DAW of choice for mixing!) to mix the recorded audio of the sea, seagulls and Paul's Voice Over and the audio for the "Video" part of the project is now complete, after a bit of feedback from Paul I lowered the sea and seagulls in the mix.  I had also included excerpts from the "Theme from Jaws", but we decided against using this for this part.

Hopefully it can be included somewhere, because I think it's a brilliant tune!!  Perhaps we could use it on the quiz for a wrong answer???  The question then becomes what to use for a correct answer?

I am not sure what sounds are needed for the game section yet.  We have a meeting tomorrow, and I will ask the team for their views.

I have included links to some previews of some of the audio for your listening pleasure!!

Design of Fisherman Character - Paul

Not sure whether to include the hat and pipe yet :)    But he is shaping up nicely.  Next stage is to design some fish and a net..

Sound Recording Photographs - Ian

My mobile phone shoots video in a strange format, so while I figure out a way of converting it here are a couple of photographs.  At least my phone takes still images in JPG format!!!!

I have had a listen to the audio I captured, and it is quite good.  My experiment with "Pitching" didn't work as I had hoped, but the audio is probably the pick of the bunch

Stage One of Animation Drawing - Paul

Heres The first stage of my scene. (The surroundings) Ignore the over spill on the sides of the stage this will not be shown when published. I am now working on the main focus of the animation including, The fisherman, The shark, The boat and the fish.
