Death to Boredom

We all need a break, sure. But, having been conditioned to work our asses off, it's entirely possible that we find ourselves rather bored, without some growing workload to tackle. And it's wonderful times like these that we find the opportunity to engage in some personal work...

Module 1 - AV submission

Animation and Motion Design students must please upload their files to Vimeo, as discussed.

The previous deadline of Friday 26th of March has been extended to Monday the 29th.

Your file should not be larger than 10MB!! There is a 500MB/week limit on the account and some students are uploading their files more than once due to unnecessary errors (like not naming the subject of their upload).  You are taking the space of your fellow students and therefor caused the deadline to be extended.  Please note: Future acts of negligence will result in marks being deducted. 

Another solution would be to create your own Vimeo account and simply add yourself as a contact from the Open Window AV account.

Please don't e-mail me your files.
Thank you.

The Harvest - Luma Arcade

Out of interest, mainly for the Game Design students, Luma Arcade (Luma's game development department) is working on The Harvest, a game built on XNA that'll run on Xbox 360, Windows PC and Windows Phone 7.

Oh, I know that girl - her work is gorgeous!

Last week I wrote about how important it is to work hard, to try to create professional work, to build a collection of portfolio-worthy work during your studies, and to be all-round awesome. Ideally, you'd be hired instantly according to how much work you've put in and the quality of the work you've got on show, but, unfortunately, this isn't what happens in reality. And the reality is that if you lock yourself in your room and work on art all day, you'll probably create stunningly beautiful artwork, but you may well be decreasing your chances of getting a job. Confused? Read on!
