Hi there world welcome to WoodBox

I've been putting off getting a blog for a few years now I think the whole concept is peculiar to me, I don't really like social networking I think there is too much information out there about us and it's just too easy to find out this about us even without having a conversation with the person. The digital foot print can be a harmful thing and we need to be careful on how we use this technology.

Well I will stop chatting about my views on the impact of the digital friend age and I will tell you more about myself. My name is James Wood and at the moment I’m a 3rd year Student at Staffordshire University studying VFX. University life is amazing I’ve never been this happy in my life, things for me are looking up. Also a word of warming if you find my blog hard to read it's because I'm dyslexic I do proof read but I still make mistakes from time to time.

The course I’m doing is ace at the moment I’m modelling an area back home in Coventry called the Lower Precinct in Maya, i will tell you more about this topic at a later date.

Well making this blog is a part of one of the modules I’m doing this year, the aim is to get myself out there in the world and to show you all that I’m creative and looking for a job in the 3D Modelling zone and i have the talent to back it up.

There is one other Module I’m doing this semester and it’s a report of are choosing and I’m doing “the evolution of video gaming characters and how they can affect you”, which I’m looking forward to see my results of what I find out about this topic. I will put up my questionnaire on this blog feel free to submit your point of view on this topic, it would help me out greatly.

Well that’s it for my 1st post thanks for your time in reading this post I hope this blog will grow over time cya next time.
