Return of the Blog!
This year has gone far quickly than i expected, and so im going to try and put everything into one post. This year has most definitely been a learning curve to remember. So far i have created a website for my Authorship project, involving php and mysql, which i found fascinating to be honest, it is the way forward! However my design work needs to be improved, which was one of my comments in my feedback. The next task ahead was HHHUUUGEE! project in making a game, with a website some how connecting to the game. After a slow start, and thinking at the time our group is not going to get anything done, we managed to prceed and get past our problems and create a very amusing game about escaping prison. If your easily offended then…well hell to it i dont care. Although we worked in flash, as3, the game looks fairly good. I believe we hit our target audience and had fun in the process of making it. So yes the project did have a happy ending, and u can play the game at; http://impserver.bournemouth.ac.uk/~brain/
I was proud of the progress i had made since start of my course, i manage to create all the cut-scenes and characters and one of the mini-games. After this project i had a boost of confidence and did some freelance work…well technically did, i create a site for a group on another course needing a web site made for them, and yes they were very pleased. Tho i just got a thankyou and some choc, its astep up the right ladder.
Now its pretty much the end of my second year at uni, i have a confirmed placement at ‘Substance Media’ in Farringdon London, which i am very excited about. I walked in for my interview a month ago and as soon as i alked in there were people all around a whiteboard talking about ideas for new films out in the cinema like ‘Yes man’ and future projects like’Wolerine’, Ha! awesome. It was there i knew i wanted to do this for my career. I start my placement on July 13th, and up till then i will be studying hard so i dont feel like a complete idiot, i know im there to learn, but i want to make a good impression.
…and so thats pretty much it, second year has been hard hitting, and has flew by as you can tell from more fairly short post for the year! On a final awesome note, my company, f-promotions is taking off well, currently running friday nights at Fruit bar after finishing our events at DNA. I am dead excited for the company as we (me and my company partner) have big plans for Bournemouth…were taking over….(evil laugh)
Peace, T
