Division of Work

To divide the work evenly between the group we first made a list of all aspects of the animation and then having discussed preferences each member was delegated one aspect to model to begin with. Consideration was taken that some aspects would be harder than others but had agreed that all members were reasonably at the same level with modelling in 3DSmax. It was decided that further work will be arranged in two weeks time.

Our list so far:

Environment including Church

Main building of Guildhall - Helen

Celebration Hall

School - Anna

Tokens to poor

Museum

Library - Stewart

Almshouses

Storyboard

Having discussed all our ideas we decided to choose a selection that we thought best represented how the Guildhall has been used and effected the community throughout its history. The beginning of the animation will be a pan of the outside of the Guildhall and its surrounding area. There will then be a walk around tour into different parts of the building with mini animations inside each room. A timeline will be added and on the screen to show what era is being animated.

Finchingfield Visit and research continued

We gathered a lot of valuable information on our trip to the Guildhall. We took many photographs and have set up a flickr group to share all the photos we took. See here for the link.

If we would like any more information from our tour guide his contact email is Des Fahy : fahydes@yahoo.co.uk

Helen went to Braintree library and both her and Stewart went to Chelmsford Records office. Anna searched for more information on the internet and found these websites:
