Drawing- 27th November 2015

Just did some traditional head measurement drawings, tried a technique i saw online for drawing limbs, you draw a circle where the beginning, middle and end of a limb would be, then join them together.

 I wasn't able to finish most of the drawings on time but I got another chance to do so since the model was repeating the poses. The 2nd years were doing something involving light and shadows, so I decided to add some shading to mine. I tried shading using cross hatches to help imply the 3d curves of the body.

Drawing- 13th November 2015

This lesson focused on hands, I took part in the second years task as it used a technique that I hadn't used before. In the first drawing we drew hands in that ever way we felt like

for the rest of the hand drawings we used a technique where we drew a box, then drew lines to  remove segments of the box so that it would form a shape slimmer to the hand, from that point on we drew the hand as normal, below is the first attempt

After the first attempt we did a rotation of a hand using the same technique, 10 minutes on each drawing. the hand gradually opened as it rotated. with the exception of the third and sixth one, these hands turned out pretty well. the drawings had realistic form and the ends of the fingers looked a lot less cartoony than the very first hand drawing of today

we finished of the day with a quick 10 minute sketch of the model

Drawing- 30th October 2015

First time doing life drawing after a four month break. since 3rd year students don't get their own class so we have to share with second, but I also don't have to follow the classes task and can do what ever drawing I want in class, They let us choose our selves to best suit the final project.

The drawings above were done using the classic measuring heads style, the one below I alternated male and female models after each head measurement

For my first session back after a long break, these drawings didn't turn out too bad

3rd Year

AP5: self initiated- The unbelievable truth

Heres the version of the film I handed in for marking, its not finished but I did include the animatic for the final parts. The film is animated using Duik, a plug in for after effects that allows you to do a  animation that looks like a more advanced version of cut out animation. The music is from incompetech.com a website that features royalty-free music to download, the downloads are free but if you want to edit the individual instruments in the song then you will have to pay for that file.

Even though I originally pitched more facts, I ended up narrowing it down to three individual facts that I felt where the best

INSERT FINAL VID HERE WHEN V/O IS COMPLETE

When it comes to how this would be shown, this would either be a short show that is shown during ad breaks for a children's Television channel, such a nickelodeon, or this could be part of a larger factual programme and be short segment shown sometime during it.

Opaque-eration: Experimental film completed

Heres the final cut of the experimental film, this film was made with the combined efforts of myself, Michelle Lumbert (writer, visual effects and lighting), Kaya Oldaker (animation) , Robert Poller (actor), Maryam Abdulla (sound) and Ash Moules (camera).

This film is about a man playing operation with a mysterious shadowy entity

I made the storyboard for this film and I knew how the effects where going to be done, so I was made the films director.

Arts Ident

I worked with one of the third years, Sarah Berry, on one of her indents for her final animation before graduation. She told me what to do and gave me animatic to go by and I just animated it. The music was composed by James Poupard. This was my first time working with vector images, which meant I had to turn rasterise on in the vector images layer properties so that the image stays the same quality of picture no matter the size. There where some annoying side effects to rasterisation, such as effects light bevel being cut off when the image is near the edge of the screen, though but I was able to figure out a way to work around the problems, they probably weren't the ways that professionals would use, but they worked.
