Deadlines drawing closer

As Friday's deadline edges closer and closer I am pleased to report that I have 110% completed 4 projects now. 

With just a few final self promotion bits and finishing off the 30sec animation with Tyler I am done. Reflecting back on the past 2 terms, I am pleased with the work I will be handing come 9:30am on Friday. Looking back in comparison to last years attempt, I have really put in a lot more effort and I think that can be seen in my work and hopefully my marks.

Hard drive woes

My hard drive is currently with PC World who I hope can either restore or transfer the data. Meanwhile I have made quite a lot of progress with my self promotion tonight. 

I think I have finally chosen a final idea which I will now apply to all the literature I have already created.


Disaster

Everything seemed to be going fine. Only the motion project to finish along with tidying up my self promotion and illustration projects. 3 days to go. Perfect, more then enough time!

Just when I was getting ahead of myself, my hard-drive decides to die and doing so trapping my illustration and self promotion projects in a technological netherland! I am on my way to PC World now so hopefully rescue the files I desperately need!

Motion tutorial

After todays motion tutorial with Andy I am very upbeat about this project. The quick sample animation I did seems to be working well with the audio and just needs a little touching up now.

I plan to sketch out some slug emotions (try at least) to bring a little more character to the wee man. 

Also, with the salt pot being the main focus of the animation, its prominence needs to be increased.

Watch this space!

Motion Graphics

I am working on this project with Tyler Button. Once the briefing was over we promptly drew up several rough story boards to match some audio we found.

We have now done an animatic of the storyboard and explored various potential visual styles. We now plan to draw up all the scenes which are to be animated in AfterEffects.

Our blog for this project can be found here.

Recent activity

Recently, over the last few weeks, along side ongoing projects I have been tying up loose ends on previous proejcts. With a couple of them now complete, with finals mounted and ready to be presented I can concentrate on my current projects.

I still have a couple of other projects that require completing but again, I will do this along side my current motion graphics project.
