More Script and a Render

I wasn't feeling the motivation required of me to complete the first draft of my script so I modeled instead. Honestly the hardest part was figuring out how to make the trashbags. What I did was take a bunch of cubes and randomly rotate them. Then, I surrounded with a UV sphere and applied the shrink wrap modifier. I messed with the settings until it looked alright. Then I applied all the modifiers so I would have an actual mesh, went into edit mode and fixed troublesome areas. For the material I used a plastic material I found online, then to get the wrinkles I applied a noise texture to the normal mapping node. To model the buildings I followed a very simple yet effective strategy laid out in the following video.

Film Score Investigation

Seeing how other people performed their tasks and managed their crew was also an interesting and insightful experience. What I Learned the Most I've learned the most about how to deal with people on a set. Being outside of school completely changes the dynamic and it really shows you who is a hard worker and who isn't.
