A little bit about the group members

Paul....

I'm born and bred Tiptree, as are my parents and grandparents :o) I'm proud of the villages heritage, it's Heath and our fantastic Jam.

Being close to Colchester, I'm a regular at Castle Park, The Natural History Museum, Timperleys Clock Museum, The Minories, and of course Colchester Zoo which I visited 28 times last year and am a Platinum Card Holder.

Gemma...

I have onli lived in essex 3/4 years in Stanford-Le-Hope (also known as Stanford-No-Hope as people call it i am not quiet too sure why...)

I do prefer living in essex compared to the city (london) where i grew up as i feel its much more nicer way of life and more scenic as there are nice views of the country side.

Richard

i have lived in essex all of my life and know essex quite well. i have been to many of the attraction off essex and have enjoyed them all from when i was a kid to now.

Reaction To The Brief....

Paul....

My first thoughts on the brief are that although I feel I know Essex really well I'm not sure what parts of it I would say typify it.
I would prefer to try and capture the overall 'feel' of Essex as I think this says more about the counties character than one individual location.
To animate in any great detail would be far too time consuming so I'm thinking more along the lines of basic cartoon type animations.

Gemma... (:

My first thoughts are that it could be quiet intresting as i have not visited everywhere in essex and it would be exciting to discover what other attractions/places i may find which i never knew about as well as finding a place we all think could express essex in animations... i think it will be a challenge to change peoples impressions of essex and express them in animations as there are quiet a few big attractions already well known, i think it would be good to also show off other parts of essex which are just as good...

Richard...

my first thoughts of this project is that living in essex all my life i feel that i have alot to offer towards this project. I would like to try and show what essex has to offer for the younger generation. i would like to change the way people see essex as a whole and see what essex has to offer.

Virtual Environments Client Led Brief....

My Essex

The brief for this semmester involves for the virtual Environments Module is promoting Essex to younger people.

Acting as ambassadors for the county we will produce an animation about a chosen area of Essex that is dear to our hearts.
As our group are all Essex locals, what will shine through is pride in our county.

The brief is set by Elli Constantatou, the Tourism, Marketing and PR Manager at Essex County Council.
