Audio Image

I had some audio and i found it very boring if there was just sound so I decided to draw what me and Tiffany was talking about and that was Bolto and How to train your Dragon. I found that when I showed my parents the one with and the one without they all said that the one with the image was a lot more affective because you can see what me and Tiffany were talking about.

Adobe Encore DVD Menu

Today I had some pro blames trying to burn my DVD menu peace, it took me about 4 Hours to try and figure out what was wrong. I found out that it was the DVD's I was trying to burn it on and not my work. Its was because I was trying to burn my work on a DVD-R and not a DVD+R, so if anyone has any trouble with burning your DVD try DVD+R it worked for me.

Soundscape

This has to be one of my best peaces of work, I like finding out what types of sounds should go to what types of video clips. I also love how it came out a lot better than I imagined it would be like, Especially the idea of having background music with the little sounds that pop up like braking glass or a pushing sound, it was brilliant.

Complimentary studies

This is the first session I have worked on this assignment. I have chosen the second scenario to develop into two stories. So far I have worked out the different scenes and then looked at the psychology of the characters. The psychology of the actors helps to show what will go on and how the character will respond.

Complimentary Studies

Generate a written piece of work exploring the relationship of storytelling to sequential motion.

Director / Steve Smith (Drawing and Vis)

Steve came to the college on the 16th of march 2012, I quite like the work I've seen. I didn't find a lot of the things he said useful to me because I don't want to be a director, there were stuff I did find usefell like the fact it would be better for you to get a Master as well as a BA.

Character Design Lip Movements

I found this very hard at first because I couldn't rap my head around the idea of trying to get the lips moving. but wants I read up on some animation books and had a look at some of the web sites, I found it a lot easier to do. I love how the lip movements turned out, its not to bad for my first try. I think i did a lot better on this than I did on my walk cycle.

Walk cycle (Drawing and visualisation)

I am learning to develop a walk cycle to be able to create my characters movements. This is a difficult process for me to do, I had to use a light box to create a perfect series of movements. I found it difficult to create the body the same size constantly. For the time being I have developed a skeleton of my character to make sure I have created a good walk cycle before I put in any detail.
