Cassie created an online forum to organize her animation team's work on creating a radio station logo. She set up discussion topics for tasks like research, idea generation, and storyboarding. Cassie took on roles like filling out paperwork, sketching storyboards, editing 3D models, and preparing scene renders in video editing software. Her work progressed the project from initial planning through modeling, animation, and final rendering of the logo animation.

1. Cassie Coyne
E6 Radio 3D Animation Production Log
Creating my Forum
To start the new Unit Team Leaders were chosen to
create forums on the eccles moodle website for
team members to post on.
So I created a new forum under the Unit 67
Animation title, and gave it my name so my team
would know where to post their ideas and could
easily find it.

2. Creating the discussion topics
Then I created a new discussion topic for
each relevant task needed to complete, so
the team could post their work on there. I did
this by clicking the button highlighted.
Then I simply gave the discussion topic a relevant
title , then added a small message telling the team
what they should post in the specific topic.

3. Ethical Checklist
Before we started working on the
ideas for the radio station animation,
as the Team Leader I had to make
sure that the Ethical Checklist
Agreement was set up for everyone
to sign and fill in. I did this by
downloading the document from
moodle, then using an old image of
my signature and copy an pasting it
into the space for my name.
The same as the other times I
created discussion topics for the
group, I posted a new topic with
the title Ethical Checklist then
uploading the correct document I
just filled in to it so the rest of the
group could easily find everything
and upload their work promptly.

4. Collaboration Agreement
For the Collaboration Agreement, I
worked the same as wit the Ethical, and
downloaded the document from
moodle, and used the old signature, then
filled in the necessary information about
me including my
name, address, postcode, telephone
number and my email address.
Then I uploaded the work I did under the
title Collaboration and let the others reply
with their work.

5. Existing Radio Station Research
To get started with the task, as a team we researched into existing
radio stations to get a better idea of what is already out there.
I created a discussion forum for this and uploaded my own work by
using the attach button at the bottom of the page before posting it
as shown below.
When my team wanted to post their work
under the specific title, they simply clicked
reply and uploaded a small message and an
attachment like me.

6. Pooled Ideas Generation
The next task for the group was the pooled ideas generation.
For this we all individually, used a light hearted approach and created
numerous rough drafts of possible ideas for the radio station on paper.
Almost like a mood board of sketches.
Then once we had each contributed our ideas and looked them over as a
group, we decided the on the best ideas and what we could use
together.
After discussing all the ideas we decided to mix two of mine and one of
Sam's ideas together. We chose to do the flipbook idea with a boom box
sound system and the spinning number ‘9’ which turns into a ‘6’ and
becomes the e6 logo.

7. Everyone’s Individual Tasks
The group was assigned their
individual tasks for the e6 logo
animation.
1. Me – My task was to complete
the base for the animation which
was the flipbook, which I did in
Flash.
2. Jordan- Had to create the e6 logo
3. Sam- Created the 3D boom box in
light wave modeller.

8. Rough Story board
For the rough storyboard, as I was the best at drawing on my team I volunteered to sketch
out the rough idea of what was going to happen.
The pages below show the number of frames, what happens during those frames and
how it all plays out and how it is linked to the e6 radio station with the logo at the end.

9. Final Story Board
For the final story board I used the images of the rough
storyboard sketches and the logo Jordan made for the final
frame; then I typed in the text boxes underneath the
pictures a summary of what was happening in them and how
things were playing through, and then uploaded it to the
moodle site with the rest of the work.

10. Boom-box Progression in Modeller
First I downloaded the original modelled boom box that Sam made (sown to the left), then I
edited the surfaces and properties including luminosity, specularity, gloss, transparency and
reflection.
The boom boxes shown below are my edits, where I used trial and error to come up with an
idea I liked.
The boom box shown to the left is the final edit and outcome. It is clear
that the idea progressed as the ideas before it adopt green hues of colour,
then purple accessories and detail.

11. Creating a Scene in Premier
To create a scene for the completed boom box, I opened the
start menu and opened premier pro, then imported the
object into the camera view. Then I moved the light and
camera position into place for optimum visuals and moved
the object around taking key frames where applicable. I
looked on the final story-board sheet and took the number
of overall frames which was 500, then dragged the number
of key frames to 500 and went back to make the scene.
Once the scene was created on the timeline with different
frames up to 500, I played in real time to check that it looked
alright and everything was running smoothly and to plan as
the storyboard was.
Once that was finished I could move onto rendering the
object.

12. Rendering with Premier
To render out the completed scene I adjusted all the rendering settings, under the tab Render Globals to make
sure that when I actually did render everything would run efficiently.
Once I had finished changing all the values in the rendering tab I began rendering the scene and allowed it to load
all the different frames together from 0-500 to make a moving film.
As the scene rendered out I was given an image of the final product so I knew what it would look like once it was
rendered completely as shown to the far left. I changed the black background to white because I could see the
boom box easier and better and the flipbook animation would include the object being masked onto the actual
sketchbook which has white paper.

13. E6 3D logo
After all the rendering and the scene was finished I moved onto the e6 logo, and downloaded Jordan's’ creation of it. I
found that the flat 2D e6 logo wasn’t appropriate and created a new version in modeller in 3D to give the overall scene a
better effect, especially considering I didn’t do too much for the premier rendering scene.
To create the logo used the box tool for the frames and
changed the shape and size. Then I used the text tool to
type in the number 6 and e and then radio.
I posted them all on different layers so that I could work
on them all separately without running into issues all
the time changing or editing things that I didn’t mean to
because the objects were overlapping or getting in the
way.
Once I had finished creating all the separate parts of the
actual logo I cut and pasted them all onto one layer as
the entire object so I knew it fitted together properly
and looked right from different angles.
