Hellooo, its been a little while since my last post.
Im doing three projects at the moment:
1) 2 minute After Effects animation for MSN1
2) Interactive Flash website for the web elective
3) another interactive Flash website for collaborative practices (this one is a commercial project as well)
They are all very time intensive… especially as i haven’t used After Effects or Flash before the course!
Im looking forward to having a break in march (-:
A Friend of mine made this video for a film competition: www.60secondsoffame.co.uk/bafta/sixtysec/London/
Normally shes a life saving nurse and its her first time doing something like this… she came to Norwich to film it over christmas… amazingly her 60 second movie took 4 days to film! It is highly unflattering of me (I was very tired, hungry and cold at the time (-: ) and she was an extremely demanding director. Her ego went slightly mad during filming and she even instructed me to get something out of her back pocket for her at one point! feel free to vote for her after jan 28th so we can go to the baftas!
I was watching Jim Henson’s ‘The Dark Crystal’ over christmas… it was one of my favorite childhood films (there is a character called kira).
I still love it… The dvd also has a really fascinating ‘making of’ documentary (the film took 5 years to make) thats quite inspirational.
I would like to capture some of the Dark Crystal ‘otherworldliness’ in my animation. The atmosphere and the believability are also aspects im trying to work on.
Well…. flashmans lovelife hasnt really developed over the christmas period but i have reached chapter 11 of 14 in my flash book without his help. Its becoming a bit more natural and intuitive now and i have started drawing/animating some of my characters from my website designs.
Also a wacom tablet is a massive improvement over track pad when drawing onto a computer!
