Making of 'Devil and Demons'

I started this project as I would any other, creating a mood board of the theme. I found out quickly though a lot of the images I was searching for looked super similar and wasn't really engaging me. I decided to do some further reasearch and look at other cultures and religions, and what their highest form of evil was. I thought looking at one of the oldest civilisations would be a great starting point. The Egyption were obsessed with the afterlife and their God of death, Set ruled the underworld. He was in the shape of a jackal. The theme of anthropomorphised animals or a mutation of sorts created demonic creatures. The Egyptians we also fascinated with magic and sorcery, another running theme I found amongst the dark arts. While I was looking through Christian views on the devil, I was facinated to find out that the different names of Satan, Beelzelbum, Leviathan were all aspects of the 7 deadly sins. At this point I thought I had enough ingredients to create Devils and demons.

My initial ideas we pretty lame but the more and more I did I found my self creating things that had character. I enjoyed the process profusely even though I did it so slowly. Annabeth asked us to have a minimum of 10 designs and I ended up with 20+. I think the next step to accumulate people's opinions on the designs and choose the one people enjoy the most. I think this is another step out of my comfort zone as i don't enjoy showing people my work, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and find out that people aren't as critical as me.

Belbin - Making of

Belbin roles - Making a balanced team Going into this session, I still hadn't decided on which group i want to join but Annabeth said it should be decided by the end of this session. I had offers from a few groups but decided to join up with Jolanta, Elena and Alisha as i knew i wanted to another attempt at a 2-D group project and i felt like this team had good chemistry and was full of talented artists. Annabeth explained Belbin roles to us and how these 9 personalities make a strong balanced team. When going through the Belbin roles i found that these four applied best to me; Monitor Evaluator - I feel this suits me well as i know that the critical side of my brain is over developed and have always thought i had sound judgement when it came to decision making. Working very slowly resonated too deeply and is something I'm trying to work on. Team Worker - I feel that my social relation when working in a group is always good,...

Creative play with digital media students

The day began in the maker space, along with the digital media students. The digital media tutor called Mark explained to us that we were going to be placed randomly selected groups and make a tower only using paper and no other materials. My team was nice however they were quite quiet, me and Decland tried to lead the conversation and get everyone talking and sharing, they opened up a but but even by the end of the day some members of the group weren't really talking. The first task was building the tallest tower using only paper and no other materials and at the top of the tower an egg for fifteen seconds. I felt like only half of our group were trying to work quickly and because we were working at a slightly slower pace to other groups it hindered the potential of the final product. As a team we decided that it was best to have the egg protected so it wouldn't die. With our team being number one we were made to present first, and then we were told it would be measured f...

birds eye view of a bird - Global Bird - Scene 3

Birds eye view of a bird - Global Bird - Scene 3 I took over Aidans shot, as he had a lot more work to do because lack of help from Alisha, and she had done a shot that was listed for me and i had already started it, the lack of communication from her and minimal effort made caused a lot of problems, mainly for Elena and Aidan. I knew the back shot i did of the bird had the potential to work in the scene. After my first edit it still looked like it was nose diving still even after i fixed the size a added lines to make it seem that from a different angle. I don't have any working of this as i worked through this fairly quickly. After I showed it to Annabeth, she suggested the wings need a slight bit of altering and I changed about 3 frames and and the beak positioning, after i did this it looked much better. All that was left was the tail which was out of perspective now but after i fixed that the animation looked strong in my opinion. All that was left was to sync and...
