Messaging Professionals
​
As a part of my primary research I tasked myself with messaging a few industry professionals in the hopes to ask them a set of questions relating to my project. I messaged three YouTube creators that I like: Blender Guru (Andrew Price), Benny Productions, and Ducky3D (Nathan Duck). Unfortunately I received no response from these messages.
​
I chose to message Andrew price because of his focus on creating photorealistic images and scenes using blender. I feel that his knowledge of textures, shaders and lighting would prove very useful in developing my skills through practice before the practical aspect of this project begins.
​
Benny productions is an artist that works within photoshop. although he does not use any 3D softwares, i still feel his knowledge and skills in colour grading, light, shadows and photorealism would be very beneficial to me. I could use his shared knowledge to develop my own.
​
Ducky 3D works within Blender to create abstract and still life artwork. His skills within the Blender software and his knowledge of node based creation would be very helpful for my creation of various textures in my project.

Target audience survey

Here I have attached the results of my survey. I sent this to my peers to gather data from them as they are a part of my target audience. From this research I have gathered some intriguing data surrounding the interests and wants of my target audience. Most notably the advice surrounding what they think a space film needs. I plan to use most of their advice in the creation of my project. As you can see, most of my target audience likes sci fi films and space films to a certain degree. None of my target audience dislikes space films.
