To begin the collaborative unit I went to the meetup with people from several other courses, though I didn’t have much of an idea of what I wanted the project to be. Not many other people had a very clear idea of what they wanted to make for the collaborative unit, and I was not that interested in making either a game or a VR experience, which ruled out a lot of people at the meetup. Instead, I wanted to maybe collaborate with students from other courses such as Film, Music, Art etc. to help with the creative direction, and I and other students from MA 3D Animation would be responsible with most of the technical work. Personally, I was always interested in openings for TV shows, as I think that they are an important part of hooking an audience into watching a show. Specifically, TV openings that heavily utilize lighting and detailed models with often minimalist animation to give the audience a more subjective view of what they think is happening, and what is being represented without outright telling them.
