Working in KL

Our second week in KL is almost over - our time here seems to be going far too quickly. It's all been quite hectic, but a lot of fun. Yesterday I had a lesson in 3D Studio Max at Lim Kok Wing. I've never done any 3D work before so it was great to get a quick crash course. Mei and me have been set the task of modelling an airoplane. Ian and Sioned are working on motion graphics using After Effects. Hopefully, we'll combine the plane and the motion graphics to create an opening title sequence to introduce our documentary of our time spent here in KL. I just hope we have enough time to finish it all.

We're all working hard on our project for MYGO. The graphics for the SMS-TV game are coming on well now and we hope to start animating the characters next week.

We went to visit the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) headquarters yesterday for a tour of their production facilities and later attended a workshop organized by them to promote the creative industries in Malaysia. Their is a huge amount of support for new start creative companies here, as having MSC status entitles you to a 10 year tax break. The facilites were impressive with a range of high spec hardware and industry standard software available for students to use free of charge.
