Here we go again

It's been a while since our last update, so here's one to cover the last three months, written by two inexperienced members of the group; therefore go easy on us. Good plan, ay?

After the Christmas holidays, we had a mammoth 5 hour session, in which new arrivals (us 2 + 3 others) enjoyed the buffet for the first time! In this session we started to plan floor arrangements and digital outputs. However, looking back at the blog's main page, I realise you've heard the outcome of this: the animation, but we also decided on creating some voice recordings to explain about the objects in the display.

Since then we've had a fair few more sessions, including several visits to the stores and object handling sessions. We've also developed the animation plans, including throwing around ideas for a main character and rejecting Barney the dinosaur as this... as depressing as this might be.

Just 2 weeks ago, we had a professional animator, Christian Darkin, come to help get some further ideas about our animation. Since then, he has sent sample images from the animation for us to view, and it looks amazing! But that's as much as we're telling...

On the same day, we also had a photographer to show London what we do in a session:

That's almost everything we've done since January, so Good Day to you!
