The chair has been put into the bedroom.....

Time management? whose that?

Even though I want to scream I think its best I don't as my neighbours might come knocking! I am really really bad with time management, as in I tend to leave everything to last minute. Soooo that results in this week being a sleepless one.

This week the plan iiissss to do everything :( I have written out a list of everything that needs done so I guess I will be stuck in my room working out the kinks on everything. I really am not looking forward to friday because I hate speaking in front of people and plus have ALOT still to do for the presentation. Oh boy. But it has to be done. Here is a chair I created on cinema 4d today for one of the rooms in my animation. It looks kinda funny but it has taken me two hours so it will be used!

where does the time go!

Eh?? Its tuesday already? This time thing is sneaking isnt it! I think I have caught up with my sleep after fridays hand in, I dont know why i think staying up till 4 am and then having to be up at half seven is a good idea. Ah well, saved money from not going out over the weekend, sleep took over!!

This week I am planning on working on my presentation and trying to get more done on my final project. I feel so behind on it. Feels like I havent worked on it for ages. Really need to sort out the anamatic and still need to draw out stuff for it :/

Builders and painters have been so now I may be able to concentrate on my work...

I also have a few other bits of work, finally got some pics of my friends son so will attempt to draw him :/ might do it on the computer too to build up my skills on illustrator/photoshop.

Enjoy your week off folks :D

Update

Well hand in date. I have decided I am alot better under pressure, managed to get the statement, research and essay done in one day. Now not saying this can be done on EVERY project and also didnt enjoy the 3.30 am bed time but glad its over. Now just finalising the MTV Ident project.
I have also completed my UCAS application, written up, paid and sent! Ah!

Hope everyones getting on well with their projects :D

Now to write a list of what else i need to catch up on :(

Happy New Year Folks

wow feels like ages since I last blogged! I have been ill for over 10 days now so have had no motivation to do any real work. I have played around with illustrator a bit though and I am trying to get back into drawing as I feel getting back into what I love will bring back some motivation! I had asked a few friends if they wanted any thing drawn so I had little projects..I have a few more to do...

These are for a burlesque troop - trying to come up with images for a logo for business cards and posters, still have a few more things to try out for this one...

This is hands that are going to be part of a picture for my cousin. I am going to do a dove coming ot of the hands and then the verse from the bible her and her husband got married to. I am going to try drawing this as well to see which one looks better. I have drawn hands with a rose in already for this but i cant find it :/

This is a drawing I did last year, I want to get back into this so I am attempting to draw a friends son. I suck at drawing people but thought I need practice in order to get better.

I attempt one of a friend but it looks stupid, I will post it anyways and then re post it when i've made the changes so you can see if the second ones any better...

Thursday - One day left in the week and our cut out animation has been rendered!!!

Hello again - Another update on the MTV Ident.

Today was another successful day. We animated the crab and exported that along with the cow and dog we did yesterday.

Tomorrow the plan is get started with the computer work! We need to clean up the animation and get them ready to composite. I think this will be the interesting part of the project getting more familiar with after effects and cinema 4d. I am looking forward to it, although animating the animals in cut out was pretty fun, moving the animals in random and wierd poses was a good laugh.

There is still the music to sort out but we know what we want so hopefully it wont take too long to get that done.

I think we are working well as a team so far. We are all pitching in with ways to improve the main idea and are all taking part, having our own tasks to do it is a 'group' project and not just one person taking over.

I think being in Simon and Pauls group is a great experience as its making us work harder and force us to make our work up to par(obviously not gonna happen in one project but a good start). It has also made us be a bit more creative and a bit braver with our ideas and the tasks we take on during this project.

Tooosday - Mtv Idents

Hello fellow campers,

Well it's day one of getting stuck in the group project. Yesterday we spent the day sharing our ideas and then picking one we liked. We have decided to go with animals and do this in cut out animation. We were undecided at first on 3d and cut out but this method seems to be more realistic with wanting to have it completed before the xmas holidays.

Today we plan on getting the characters drawn, cut out and then start the filming. The live footage will be provided to us by Simons brother, which will add another element to the project as its scenery from Sweden, so it fits in with our animal theme. We are going to do 'Farm', 'Water' and 'City' for our ththree idents and tie them all together.

I am looking forward to the end result of this as I think it will be pretty good. This project will get us more familiar with cut out animation, compositing and also a bit of sound design. (We have an idea for the soundtrack but we havent decided on who will do it and how it will be done).

Janey and I get the great jobs of cutting out and we are going to look for some sounds for the animals to use as inspiration.

Let the fun begin :/
