Week one of BENV2423 consist of showing us work from previous years, giving us an idea of what is the kind of work that we are going to be producing. We got an introduction to the experiments that we'll be undertaking in this semester and in the tutorials we revised and freshened up our CryEngine 3 skills while learning some new techniques as well.
After seeing work from previous students of BENV2423 I have realised that the standard is quite high. The level of creativity is quite high, being able to incorporate the last letter of their name and the last number of their student number within the video in a very interesting way. While watching I realised that a good and efficient development of techniques using the programs we will be using is very important. The more we learn the programs the faster we'll be and in case mistakes are made we can quickly recover and change them. We will also be learning new programs such as video editing programs, which will also be very interesting.
After an introduction to the first experiment and a presentation of previous students work I have had a thought about what I am going to do, nothing in detail yet and the idea might change. The work from previous students gave me the impression that these students were at a very proficient level, not only in their creativity but also there attention to detail and their knowledge of the programs.
In the tutorial we revised on some CryEngine 3 and I learned a lot of new techniques that I previously did not know. Not only was it a revision but it was a lesson in it self. Techniques such as shortcuts and ways you are able to customise your tools bars to have it exactly the way you want to suit your current project.
In conclusion this was a very resourceful week, giving us a head start and pushing us to start thinking about ideas. The blogging that we did for week one freshened us on our CryEngine 3 techniques and tricks so we should be ready to begin our experiment.
