Group story board ideas











Within the briefth I was to asked to work within a group

The group memeber i will be working in as followed

Perri Wheeler
Stefan Wade
jerome John
and of course me Russell Pointer :P


We discuss on ideas of what we could do for a project group e4 project

We then decided should do an e4 ident with the use of stop motion in it. The reason from this is that it would be a good idea to use the medium of stop motion due to the fact the other members of our course are all doing computer animation with Maya.
