The Contextual Review
Adam Thomson - MSc Animation and Visualisation 10/14/10
Research Skills and Methods - The Contextual Review
Research Title: Research developing character and personality through movement, action, appearance and performance.
Throughout my search most of the books I have found that claim to be about character animation, especially those focused on computer animation actually have very little content on the process and techniques of animating. They instead deal with the technical side of building and rigging characters for animation. Content, which is much more, like that of a text book or software manual.

Programme of Study - Draft
As part of the course we are to complete a document called the Personal Programme of Study that outlines our project for the year, the rationale for the project and the research methods we will use to achieve our goals. As this was the first draft of my Programme of Study some sections are still to be completed and as time goes on some will need to be updated.

New beginnings. It all starts here.
This is my most recent showreel of animation work. The work contained in it is from 2008 so it's quite old. In a future post I am going to reflect back on the main projects, talking about whether I feel they were successful in their purposes and what I would change about them.
