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.

Motion Typography

I found both of these videos whilst researching motion typography. This is relation to the Bahookie project. The versatility of text, characters and letter forms allows a huge creative freedom as we can see in both of the videos, which are both incredibly unique.

Looking into the possibilities of motion typography is something I intend to spend time on.

Awesome skate board

When researching for the identity brief I stumbled across this wooden skate board. The grain design is etched into the wood and looks quite remarkable. It really stood out to me as an outstanding piece of design.

The grain or the use of the wood also relates to No Sweat as an ethical piece of design as it uses natural materials. Material is something that I should look at in detail.

Lack of Posts

I must apologise for a lack of posts. 

The identity brief took up a lot of time which was dedicated to the sketch book rather then on screen. I promise to upload a bunch of images, research and development from that project in the near future.

Currently I am sat in an office in Phoenix, AZ working on an annual report for a local health services company. I am enjoying my experiences out here and will report back with more news!
