Behold!
People of the internet, I am Joe - Son of Peter and described as the most charismatic man to come out Yorkshire, firstly and lastly by this very sentence. I'm currently studying for my degree at the University of Hull, Scarborough Campus - Which if you've continued to read this far you'll be delighted to learn is based on Digital Arts.

I have completed the first year but not yet started the third, the quick thinkers will have already deduced I'm in my second year but if you haven't yet - I'm in my second year. I'm currently 24 or 8765 days old and have yet to achieve anything noteworthy... yet.

My previous assignments include, but not limited to: Art Direction and Animation, Principles of Visual Design, Video Production and Web Design.

University Assignment
My current module is Interaction, Experience and Engagement - In this I have been tasked with editing or creating a Wikipedia article, and the article of choice is Computer animation. I'm working closely with another student, Jade Mortimer, where we aim to better the existing article by talking about more contemporary uses of computer animation as it does appear to be quite dated.

I would like to talk about animation techniques used in a number of films, but I will only talk in detail about one of them. On the Computer animation Talk Page a number of editors mention that the article would benefit from talking about the Lord of the Rings films, as the armies were largely computer animated, so I may look into that. Other films that used contemporary styles and techniques that may be worth looking into and talking about are Avatar and Life of Pi, amongst others.

I'm also looking to tidy Computer animation by adding sources to the citations needed.
