Psycogyography

Speaking to other classmates, I keep hearing that they're don't think they're learning much but everyday I'm hearing new terms and language. Psychogeography is how a certain place makes you think and feel and annabeth wanted us to apply this to our city brief. Coming from Manchester, and walking around the city I get the feeling of fear and anger. I'm not entirely sure why, but I do think that the city's feel has changed over the past recent years. I personally don't feel afraid, but it's just an atmosphere I sense when walking around the city.

This guy wasn't too happy with me taking his picture while he was eating 



 We were asked to go out and draw things around media city that interested us, for me media city doesn't offer the right stimulation for drawing with it mostly being buildings and the last time I drew here I didn't enjoy myself. So I decided to be a bit more picky with what I was drawing looking for things that were out of place, as well as peeking into people's cars to see what they kept on their dashboards. I came across this clown hat behind a bike stand, and the image of a clown riding his unicycle but going too fast so his hat got blown away was the first image that came to my mind











 I continued walking around but nothing of much interested me and when I met up poli and Indya after we all decided that is was best to go for a lunch break. When we came back to class we were told to create a map of the things we had seen or just a random map all together.

Furthering into perspective

Im coming closer to realisation that storyboarding is a field that i want to keep exploring. This past semester we been tasked with a range of different mediums and techniuiqes which has been super challenging, requiring me to learn something new. The only problem I've had is that I get so tired from the research, I dont have the power to work and produce work I'm happy with. This is a minor problem as i know over time i'll become way more adpet and will have a much smoother workflow. I can say though that because of all this research time, I fallen back in love with drawing again. Maybe it has something to do with chris' life drawing classes but im actually drawing for fun again, and this is a feeling that i havent had for year. I'm trying drawing to become my new form of procrastination, because my mind just loves putting off work.  This is a kind of 'procrastinion i did, when i should of been trying to do some modelling in maya i wanted to draw more s...

Animation Context

The first actual lecture of university was what i expected, a briefing of our first module. Most of the lecture consisted of Johnny beating the Gibbs' reflective cycle into our heads. I can see why the university wants us to utilize this type of reflection and I will definitely refer to it when I am first writing up my blogs, but in time i know that i will have each area of the cycle memorized, which can only help in my writing skills and well as my own self analysis. This module is on going throughout the year and we are tasked with writing a magazine article about an aspect of animation we are passionate about. Initially my intimidate thought was to look at the animation technique of One Punch Man as it i know it is a particularly difficult style of animation and i captures movement and speed so vividly. I do believe i should do some wide ranging research and look at other animation techniques that intrigue me.
