Rob The God

Another day passed today with Rob Lee Jones.  Was great.  We did some 'house keeping' as he called it.  Basically we went through all of our files and renamed, regrouped and just generally tidyed up all of our scenes so taht we can render easily in layers which is very good news obviously as now we don't have to have THE WHOLE BACKDROP that Simon's been making (which looks awesome don't get me wrong) in the background when it won't  be seen.  Why have something being rendered if its just going to be covered by something else in shot?? NO POINT.

Rob basically explained to me in depth about a number of things such as Alpha Maps, Adding and Multiplying layers in AE, the importance of working to a set project as well as the use of referencing well in order to work sufficiently in a team.  No doubt in it I will be taking all of this into consideration next time I start my group projects... another day with Rob tomorrow'll be another good one I'm sure.

I don't know how, or why but at the start of the day - we could'nt render, at the end of the day we were getting some Great results... Rob's magic touch obviously.  Unfortunately most of the class didn't benefit from Rob being there as not many turned up but hey... I'm not complaining, it just meant that he could see the groups that were in more and help us all out more.  Was brilliant and Team Authentic walked away with a set number of things to do tomorrow as well as a good feeling that we felt all around with the number of renders we got to work!!!

WHeyyyy!
