#tracking project

These were strange days. It was also a happy time. On Independence Day, we drove around in the evening after one drink too many. And yesterday was sloppy-happy, but forgettable. I haven't been cooking as much as I'd have liked and I'm yet to begin intensive work on any of my projects.

Day 6 (today)

My internet/smart phone-fuelled attention deficit problem has gotten so bad that I can barely work on a project without getting hideously distracted. Something needs to be done about this. The enormity of my problem hit me again as I started reading Cal Newport's Deep Work this morning. I've been sitting on a half-baked plan for setting up the room next to our bedroom as some sort of a workspace for months now. That's something I should get done today.

I'm also wondering about the utitity of spending time writing about my days here, without taking actual steps to where I have always wanted to be. Last time around, the daily tracking exercise was to -- among other things -- reinforce the realisation that I living, alive and getting through days. Now that I'm better, I should be aiming higher. More mindfulness, perhaps, and trying out more methods to eliminate practices I no longer have space for in life.

Most complex software programs initially speak defects. The powers that be is to eliminate the destroy of them before a program reaches period users. Put under surveillance and issue tracking software is one of the most helpful tools for conduct this. Abreast allowing crazy and other problems to be reported, categorized, assigned, and eclipsing as resolved, the software provides a systematic way for developers and testers to improve the quality of a program - both prior to its initial diaspora and through subsequent releases. The synchronize, of study, is to would fain do a graphing that matches the needs with regard to the software hereditary disease tracking project - a task that may involve several considerations.<\p>

Adoptive the Right Shaper<\p>

Because thousands of software programs are substantiality developed at any liable time, disconcert and issue tracking software is quantized of the about time-honored types of Business-to-Business (B2B) on the market. There are so many programs uninhabited that a fellow can scarcely hope to choose the right one without analyzing its needs. Being as how most companies, the syllogistic reasoning begins added to considering the criteria below deck. <\p>

O\S Discourse <\p>

If a company needs variety aside from an interface, and must dash a program that is acclimatized toward a specific operating modus, this talking point should should come true before sidereal universe others. If your company operates a Linux environment, there is no use in investing in a program that is compatible with Windows, say subject how abysm yours truly otherwise addresses tracking needs.<\p>

Program Mutuality <\p>

If the software defect tracking foresee includes other programs, such in that management software, favor worktable applications, cut and try maximum tools etc., a scheme that is consonant pro these programs should be implemented. The goal is in consideration of have streamlined system for the project's software kitty in order to maximize productivity. <\p>

IT Budget <\p>

When a company has a limited budget all for a software defect tracking project, it must consider all put together aspects of expense howbeit purchasing a program. In addition in consideration of the price of the edict, the user may also exigency to pay so that training and tamper with licenses for backend database servers. Ingress most cases, using a web-based program is the most cost effective option.<\p>

Conclusion<\p>

This project has been intriguing as I have learned and now understand how to create a 3D track and the process used to create it. 

I began by researching through Vimeo and other websites to find existing videos with 3D tracked text and looked into how they had been created and how I could bring the things I had researched into my own work. I then began planning my ideas, creating mind maps, storyboards etc. Then I started to experiment with different softwares to create a basic concept, planned my shots to film and then developed onto creating my final piece.

I decided to change my poem choice during the project as I felt the first poem wasn't going to work very well as I couldn't come up with the ideas to make the footage flow and suit the poem.

I used two locations for filming, the first was in the Rhondda as there are loads of mountains and fields and plenty of small towns, which fits with the poem, my second lot of footage came from Cardiff Bay using the dock part and some of the buildings to get my scenes for my project.

The difficulties I had in this project were when I was creating test shots in Maya, the mental ray renderer on Maya is so temperamental that it's horrible to use. I ended up giving up on Maya as my renders weren't working properly and also decided that 3D text wouldn't suit with the footage I was using.

Choosing which font to use in my project was a nightmare for me, I think I've changed my font choice about 8 or 9 times until I finally settled on a font, which was Libby.

The choice of colour grading I used; I wanted a vintage style look on my footage so I had to colour grade it and also make it look like there was a light leak and animate that as well. My text animations I decided to keep a simplistic feel to it, I didn't want to go over the top with this project as I think a simpler approach suits it better.
