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.

Drawing- May 1st

Todays session was more of a do what you want as long as it relates to the self initiated project sort of lesson. I looked up some images of woods and Croatia to get some ideas of what the setting for those two scenes will be like.

Heres the woods
