Organisation in Easter Holidays

I knew it would be important to brand our film, for the degree show and any promotional work we wished to carry out etc. However, this was not the strong point of any of us in the group and time was ticking away for our project. Sticking to the rule of only working with people we know and trust to do a good job, I contacted a good friend of mine called Callum Parish, asking him if he could possibly create us a branded title and some promotional work. Callum was really great and sent us a variety of options for the branding of our film. As a group we chose the font that we felt represented our project the most. For full images see the group blog. He also made a few promotional posters for the film. This was particularly nice as we couldn’t provide any finished renders for him to work with etc. Callum also created the opening title sequence for our film and constructed a business card design for me :)

As the degree show is coming up I invited a few contacts that myself and Dans made at the London Games Career Fair, giving their contact details to Mike. Jake did the same with some contacts he knew at Nicolodean. To help promote our film further, Dan R’s brother who is a professional website designer is going to setup a website for us :)


We met up with Jamie a few times this holiday, tocheck up on his progress. Sound seems to be coming along well, especially the sound in the cave sequence, although we had to request that the girls footsteps walking to the ride to be a bit less gravely as the floor would be made more of dried mud than stones.

In regards to group meetings, we meet up every day. Before beginning a days work we discuss what work we have done, what we are going to get done that day and then have a mild panic on how time is flying, then we are ready to start the day :)
