The document discusses a student's proposed final major project (FMP) for next year which is an animation showing concept art and merchandise for an upcoming game. The student wants to gain experience for their desired career in game development and learn from any mistakes. Their project is meaningful to them because it expands a fictional universe they created. They plan to research companies like Ubisoft and EA for inspiration and continue improving skills like 3D modeling, shading, and scenery creation. Additional skills needed for a better FMP next year include animating in simpler programs, character detail, and different object/scenery types. This year's learning in character creation and animation basics along with improved storytelling will help with the next project.

idea/work and somepotential research targets
(remember, research isn’t justa paper-based
activity)
I don’thaveany specific influences butI mostly
look at companies whosework I enjoy like Ubisoft
andEA. These companieshave improved
dramatically since I first discovered themand I
want to be able to evolve the way they did, for the
better
What skillsdo youhave now thatcan help you
with that?
Since the year began I got better at creating
modelsfrom the side andfrom, andstarted
learning the typesof shadingpossible. Thiswill
help with character creation. I still need to learn
how to create a scenery properly since my current
ones are simple andaren’t muchto look at.

2nd
year projects to help youmake a better FMP
next year.
Skills I’ll need to learn throughouttheyear would
be how to create different typesof scenery and
different objects thatcan go within them.
I also need to learn how to animatein a simpler
programthanphotoshop, likeanimatecc.
