2nd Pitch and Crit write up
Slightly different bunch of people this time. Unfortunately the other 4th year didn't make it leaving the group to me. From the presentations 4 weeks ago there has been varied progress. The most significant advice I was able to give was to bring to their attention the pending deadlines and inevitable build up of work.
With much of the work moving into production the more technical issues are coming to light. This is a tricky area to advise without more specialist knowledge, especially when the problem areas are in coding games and my focus is on animation and films.
I was, however, in a position to point out areas in which more information could be found. These came in the form of other works which I have come across as a direct result of honours research and pointing out other honours students work where there research would be relevant to the younger students.
My parting shot of advice, which is a given and one I will likely repeat to anyone, was to keep an eye on the future. This is more specifically for the third years who will be beginning their own honours project next year, the significance of this study on future career opportunities I doubt will be lost on anyone reading this far into an honours research blog.
