Extended Practice: Creating my Bio and Synopsis / Press Pack Part 1

For this module we have to create a press pack where we have to promote our animations. Within this press pack we have to create a bio explaining ourselves and a synopsis of what our animation is about.

My Bio:

James Beardsell in a 3D animator and visual effects artist from Leeds, who is graduating from Leeds College of Art where he studied BA (Hons) Animation. He creates 3D animations sometimes with motion capture, Particles simulations and dynamic effects. James also likes to experiment with different tools within the 3D software Maya to create character elemental effects, as well as pushing his abilities in different 3d softwares and learning new techniques. If he’s not working at his part time job at Costa Coffee he is researching new ways in which he can create and develop visual effects within multiple softwares.    

My Synopsis:

Break Away is an animation which shows how people are mistaking real life for CG within films and animations because of the advancements in technology. This animation is about a performance that has been executed by a girl only to be revealed as a robot mid-way through the dance. The animation was created by using a live performer and motion capture, then placing the data from the motion capture to a 3D character which would then start to imitate the performer. Everything else was modelled in the 3d software Maya and rendered out using Arnold renderer.
