Animation Finished.

YES! Im done! After a rake of complications yesterday in the computer lab I decided to put my animation together on my personal computer and boom! Its done :) With it out of the way I can now focus on CVS and my Critical review. So here I am in the library ready to work in my notebooks and such ^^ So here are some digitaly scsanned frames for my project.

As you can see the most prominant image is of my character on the ground. Hanging his head in contemplation, or even dispare or fear. Depending on what it written next to the character we cant really tell what he is feeling at this point. That is why it is my favourite.

Now without further adue here be me Animation :)

The title is Repetition.

Animation Slides/Storyline

 SO here is a few light drawings for my animation slides. It starts off with a First Person View of my character blinking. This will repeat itself in rythme and conjunction with my chosen song to add to the peace.

 The camera view will then zoom out of the back of the characters head as we see him get up off the ground he lies on.

 The camera will then switch to a side view to see this in action.

 The camera view switches a 3rd time to see the characters face look around and blink. These slides are particularly hard to keep even and matched but I think that just adds to the constant change I want to happen to the animation, its light and dark levels, and its environment. SO it works out that the characters face slightly changes every few slides.

So the character spots this thing, a monument/monolith. A massive object (Inspired by the works of Piranessi) in the distance. We see form the characters point of view that he begins to walk towards it and when he reaches in.... well thats for you to find out in our next exiting episode folks ;)

Thank you so much and goodnight!

WORKING!

So im on L2L time here on monday morning and im actually getting a lot of work done! OORAH! lol going to print off some info on my artist and creat a mindmap of my research on him then get back onto my storyboard for the rest of the morning. Chat you later blogger!

The monument

So this here is my designe for the Piranessi Monolith ive put together using two of his etching works. This will be the place within the space in the animation. Other than this place and my character the space will be empty and desolate.

Animation Project Update

So heres some more page shots of my recent story boarding work for my animation. Since i did this exercise ive decided to change a few things about it but while still keeping my core idea in tact. Just a few small details to change XD cant wait to start making my slides after i get my changes done ^^ More to come soon!!

Animation Project

So today envolved a lot of decision making and work doing in both L2L and CVS. But most importantly I got an A okay for my artist who is Giovanni Battista Piranesi. He is a master of classic etching and print. He has many cool works which are worth a look. I like him because he had a vision to rebuild Rome to its former architectural glory. Thats highly ambitious. So is my animation project lol. Anyway here are a few Peranesi images and a sneek peak of my animation work. Enjoy :) Next job will be my mindmaps of my research and a story board.

So here are a few images from my Andy Goldsworthy presentation there two weeks ago :)
Looking at his art makes the mind work to be honest. Enjoy them :)

Anyway got my L2L breif and am already at work on my research for my animation project due at the end of term. HArd work is ahead but expect to see a collection of text and images from it soon!

The PAPER

So when I realised I had to begin buying the paper again I was sickened about not being able to use my newsfeed app on my smart phone. But hey the paper is cool too. Tomorrow im getting it to start looking for cool images and stories that catch my artistic brown eyes ;) But for now im bopping to Twisted Sister and researching all I can on the colour Indigo for the one and only John Langan for friday :D. Pumped for art college Boy!! I WANNA ROCK! LOL you guys should check out Twisted Sister! There a great band that I love doing some work too ^^

Have a listen and see if you can L2L with this teacher ;)

So im just finishing the polishing touches to my artist presentation tomorrow. With the lack of use of my hand after my accident on monday ive been set back with my artwork so I hope this presentation can make up for it :)
I think Andy Goldsworthy (my artist) is worth a look for anyone that enjoys sculpting or outdoor photography to be honest. Anyway here is alink to him on line if you want to have a look :)

I did my work out of books but ofcourse not everybody can get there hands on them so the web link can be useful :)
My presentation will be a digital image slideshow of the works that caught my eyes the most.

My Artist to research.

So I just got out of the library picking up books on my artist Andy Goldsworthy. Hes an english sculptor so this could be interesting. He likes his arches anyway. More coming up so stay tuned kids. :D

MY MINDMAP.
This here be my mindmap see!
The first step to my L2L blog and a gateway of insight into who I am. :) In the centre we can see a clear box of space. Again you can see that all the information about it is in fact OUTSIDE that box. If you didnt get that the first time dont wory not many people did. Anyway starting from the top right we can see my interests and loves. This is one of the four corners of me I have documented. Following a clockwise direction we move down to my person. The discriptive words and figures are a great representation I think. Moving on we see my attitude to myself or how I think. A lot of this was hard to visually document so bear with me. Finally we move to "My Mind: The Artistic Engine", which I documented in a PC layout as is can sometimes be the only format I can think in.
Anyway there you are :) full circle. I hope you enjoy my mindmap and its details of me :)
More soon!
