We had to present out ideas to our course leader and another tutor to get our projects green-lighted. This made sure we would be efficiently using our 20 weeks and actually doing something that would be beneficial for our portfolios; our final major projects are meant to encompass what we want to be professionally after we graduate.
I was really happy to get the green light as I had done some initial research and really felt passionate about the project, thus through some persuasion and occasional brain-farts on my side I could go on with my FMP. They also thought my idea was quite original which I am glad of because it means that my work will hopefully stand out.
I was also given some advice from my now-supervisor to focus on the characters and get them done to an amazing standard, and then focus on putting them in an environment, basically just remember my rationale (3D character artist) and not get lost in the other parts.
