Post 01 - Research Practice

This is the first of many posts aimed at showing and communicating research into my chosen academic route. My chosen field is Computer Animation Technology and I will be looking into the specifics of this field which are of interest to me.

Since the first session I had on Thursday the 7th of October, I have taken notes of what was discussed and downloaded the Open Source software, Prezi. This is a free on-line based presentation software, which is very interesting, easy to use and allows for information to be supplied in a variety of ways, such as text, image and links. I have also briefly looked into the phenomenon which is 'Mind Mapping' which allows for research, web links and other forms of information to be linked together in an interactive and intuitive way. This creates much more interesting work flows and is a less linear approach. I have yet to decide on what specific area I wish to focus on in computer animation, but this should become more apparent as the weeks go by. This blog will be updated with my thoughts and areas of research I come across.
