Ball bounces - Stop motion

After my last failure in stop motion, I ended up venting to Poli, and she really doesn't enjoy stop motion because of its tedious nature. So we both decided to work together the next time we did stop motion. I have to say that it was far more enjoyable with another person there as a second pair of eyes I think is always great to have, especially in art as your eyes can play tricks on you and tell something looks correct but in reality it's far from accurate. We were quite dead but we thought it would be best to record footage so have something to go off.

It saddens me that poli doesn't enjoy stop motion because she a great eye for it and her method of working through it is far better than mine. When I was alone I was just doing frame after frame blasting through as fast as I could but with poli, she would flip through the last few previous frames before committing to the shot and moving on to the next frame. This makes complete sense and I guess I'm just a bit dumb for not doing because it's so obvious, it also gives you a chance to redo the frame before moving on. We ended up doing two ball bounces each, a bouncy ball (we couldn't get a pingpong) and a bowling ball. We both aced through it in record time, happy with what we produced. It was one the more enjoyable instances of stop motion I've had, maybe because I had a friend with me or maybe because it done so quickly. Anyway next time I'm definitely doing it again with Poli.

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...

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,...

Where is the group??

Since the group got divided, the groups harmony has just been non existent. I know Poli and Maddy are waiting to the animation but I find it really frustrating that they're not being involved in helping create the scenes. If Indya had her way we would of scrapped that they wanted, which was Maddy's dog and Polis positive message. I've been trying to come up with a way that we could get the dog involved in the actual animation, and my initial idea was that the homeless dude spends his money on his friends; a pack of dogs. This was inspired by the story of Dobri Drobrev Indya wasn't too pleased with idea and wanted something more hard hitting. So I then suggested the idea of 'hats for the homeless' in which the character spends his money on hats for other homeless people, this idea was inspired by the subway campaign of trading in gloves for a free sub. Again Indya wasn't too pleased with the idea so we were in a bit of a block. After s...
