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...

Performance & Charcter - Run, Climb, Jump, Pickup and Throw

Chased First week back and we've already been tasked with a challenging animation, which consists of a run into the character climbing a wall, then jumping down, and after the character lands they then pick up an item and throw it. Joe and Johnny spent the majority of the class talking about acting and performance which is obvious considering the title of the course. Johnny was advertising his favourite author Desmond Morris, which he recommend for my context essay last year which I obviously didn’t read but johnny previewed chapters on gesture and posing which really caught my interest. What I did read was the book by Ed Hooks, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading that. We don’t have to have the animation finished for this week but I think it would be best to get a head of the work instead of letting it pile up. The work we do have to have done for this week is creating the biography of the character, bar sheets and story board. Joe was very clear in his explanation of...

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,...
