Fig.1 - Creating a bowl for turnarounds

Doing the Turnarounds was an intriguing thing for me as I have always struggled with lighting and understanding how to create the right background. Going through the Pipeline project and DSP project, I realised that animation is like art and I should take it like one, as there is a lot of improvisation and problem solving to be done to make your vision possible. This can be shown in Fig.1, I decided to create a half sphere and a pane for the ground. I used an area light that I have never touched before since I am used to domes. Following tutorials, I was able to understand how to use Intensity and much more. 

I learnt a lot about turnarounds which made me comfortable to experiment with them. I decided to create a curve and pinpointed the pivot point in the middle of the character whilst turning the curve 360 degrees round. I then decided to group the camera and used that group to control the camera. 

I thought the way I handled this was amazing in my opinion, as I did this without help.
