This unit will enable us to develop skills in collaborating with different disciplines, rapid idea generation, iteration and testing. The aim of the unit is to collaborate and work in a team on a self-guided project. The team can include members from outside your course group (for example other students in the MIDA Programme) and look to other subject areas outside our usual area of practice.
We were given be given example project briefs, which we can choose from, or have the option to create our own project brief.
Approaching the collaboration:
- I am mainly interested in collaborating with other Masters focused on visual projects and art direction (2D/3D Animation, Virtual Reality). However, I am not limited to a specific role/project.
- My area of interest is Visual Effects and Compositing. I hope to work on a project that will allow me to create an animation/virtual space that is visually appealing and immersive. I would like to try working with Houdini, textures and lighting.
- My main goal, however, is to learn about other Majors and study their workflows. I would like to see if there are other career paths I might be interested in or ways to incorporate visual effects into different software.

I am interested in analysing traditional places/objects, such as art galleries and paintings, and transforming them into three-dimensional, dynamic spaces. It would be an attempt to visualise them and explore their themes in a new way. I would like to try using and combining some of the following techniques: conceptual work, 2D animation, 3D modelling and VFX.
