(blog post number 13) PERSONAL REFLECTION
Over the last term we have made sure to meticulously plan and adapt our plans to help ease our workflow. we have used such things as GROUP CALENDARS, REFERENCING, DROPBOX, how too start your own RENDER FARM using LAN NETWORK DRIVES as well as creating an ONLINE PRESENCE and posting on SOCIAL MEDIA SITES to help ADVERTISE our film.
I really think this approach is the best bacause working professionally forces you to critically analyse your self. It requires you to manage your time professionally and make sure that you are not leaving people who are depending on you in the learch.
By planning my time out I have made sure to spend time on all of my projects this term, and have managed to hand in a fully finished dissertation as well as working hard on Going Down and Chiarocuro.
I especially liked the advertising stage, making the website was enjoyable and a nice change stepping into a 2D media program as I am more used to the 3D working environment.
Although we analysed the benefits of using the render farm we decided against it as combined we have a lot of CPUs that can easily be put to use on batch renders.
All in all this has taught me a lot and has been an enjoyable and informative project!

(blog post number 12) social media
To AID our ADVERTISING we decided to start a FACEBOOK GROUP and invite everyone we know to join. We have included a link to the website and we will post regular updates to keep people in the loop with the film!
(blog post number 11) POSTER
As I was working mainly on the website I didnt have much input into the poster, but I think they look really good and will be important at the DEGREE SHOW to help promote us!

(blog post number 10) WEBSITE!!!!!
To help ADVERTISE our new film we decided to create a WEBSITE! please visit it now at
www.goingdownfilm.co.uk
Joe Henson layed everything out in photoshop and I coded it all in flash and did little bits of animation and links to other sites. We had to buy the domain name and then set up the FTP SERVER to get it all on line. All in all a good thing I think!

(blog post number 09) GOOGLE CALENDAR
Over this project, one thing that has really helped has been using GOOGLECALENDARto plan my time acordingly for DISSERTATION, GOINGDOWN and CHIAROSCURO projects. I assigned small TASKS for EACH DAY at the beginning of the term, and I have more or less stuck to them so far!
THIS IS MY INDIVIDUAL CALENDAR
AND THIS IS MY GROUP CALENDAR!

(blog post number 08) DROPBOX!!!!!
DROPBOX is amazing. what it does is hosts your files on a cloud server somewhere, then distributes the most up to date files to all machines that are connected to the account. there are obviously some issues with it such as unwanted duplicates and CONFLICTED COPIES appearing, but this is nothing compared with the benefits of having files update on every computer in the group. a downside is BANDWIDTH however.
LAND or LOCAL AREA NETWORK DRIVES can also be used with great benefit if everyone is connected to the same local network. what this means is that you SHARE folder on a host computer, and all other machines specify a LOCAL IP ADDRESS and selection name of the folder and link to it. This works a lot BETTER than DROPBOX as the updating is quicker and DOSNT USE BANDWIDTH. However this can't be used outside of this network.
