What Is Project Dragon
Project Dragon is a short film featuring a C.G. dragon composited into live action footage. The purpose of the piece is to showcase a broad range of skills excecuted to a high standard to enable me to hit the industry at a bit of a run.
I am focussing all my available resources and time on this project, and have been doing so since early in the year. If you imagine that my uni year is split into two halves, and that each half is split into four modules, I used three of the four modules in the start of the year as preproduction for this project.
For one module I designed and created a dragon. For the second module I rigged and animated the dragon, testing out its limitations and little quirks. For the third module I researched into the area of simulating fire, because everyone knows dragons breath fire.
Now I have come into the second half of my year, and this is divided into a group project module, and an individual module. A review of my assignment briefs shows that these two modules are well suited to support each other, and thus what I create individually and what I create in my group can come together at the end in a single piece of film with a reasonable amount of impact.
What these Making Of blogs will describe in the coming weeks will mostly be focusing on the work I am doing individually, but where I have to manage the overlap of the projects, no doubt I will write a bit about that too.
I hope that has given you an idea as to what I am planning. Next week's entry will be going into the details of how I designed and created my dragon.
Until then,
Alex
