New Project, New Ideas

I have just been given a new project. The project has three components. The first is to create a tutorial, the second to create a production plan using Shotgun software and the final thing is to create a blog to accompany it all.

The first thing that I had to do was to think of an idea. This is the hard bit. I want to do something that will help me with Alex's work but also in my future career.

The first thing that came to mind was rigging. It is something that I really want to learn. I have basic tutorials already but I really want to explore this further.

Another idea I had was lighting. I recently did some freelance work but I had massive trouble with lighting. I managed to get it as the client wanted it but with great difficulty. I thought this would be a chance to get me up to standard.

I know that I want to push myself and there are loads of tutorials online about rigging. This has lead me to the conclusion that I am going to do a tutorial about lighting. This is also going to benefit me more when doing Alex's work too.

I have now chosen to do HDRI lighting because I think this will push me further and get me to really research well and hopefully improve my skills.

The first thing I am going to do is research, research and research.
