The monster called Itani

Had a lot of difficulty making him look the same from different angles, Indya was taking the piss of how slow I work but I think they look good

The area i had most difficulty was wirh side view. I couldnt draw it from the full side and have it look like the character still. What ended up happening was that i sraw a side/ 3/4 veiw.

Emotions were more fun, Ive always preferred drawing faces and expressions.

The challenge I had with this was face was a skull and a skull can't really emote.

I decided to add eyebrows so it was a bit of cheat. A big feature of the character is the eyes so I think emphasizing them will only add the strength of the character. The character already had a lot of personality but adding emotions and body language add so much more personality I was surprised.

I did a really simple colour way for him, i think the green suits him the most as it gives off a smelly and foul vibe, which is what i was intending. The rest didn't really stand out to me but i felt like the poses in which he was in really matched the colour i chose. ( red paint me like one of your french girls)

Building the maquette was an enjoyable process also. I came in late and had to work away from other people, and i think that helped in my production and i was just jamming out to some music.

I build the maqette from wire which wasn't as malleable as i thought, but it gave a really solid foundation for the skull. The body was fattened by scrunched up masking tape with clay over the top. It was fun to make but i wasn't really that good at it but i think if i gave it another go it would come out better. Annnabeth also suggested using real hair on top of the maqette and that kinda grossed me out a little.

Pendulum - Stop mo

First off I have to start by staying this was definitely the most painful day I've experienced. The unforgiving nature of stop motion angers me to a level I can't understand. I will learn to love this as I can see the benefits and skills it teaches, a real life practical application of timing and spacing. Joe and Johnny always say don't start an animation without planning so I've been strictly abiding by those rules, which tends to mean I spend a good amount of time planning before I even enter the stop motion room. This being my second pendulum animation, I decided it would be best this time to have an actual video reference which was a crude video of a pen swinging from some headphones, I was in a public space so it was a bit embarrassing to record. From the video what I learned was how the pendulum comes to a stop, the swings a short obviously but they are incredibly slow, and moving in other directions rather than just left to right. I did a bar she

Using indesign

Another program I'm going to haven't to get to grips using. I don't know why most of the features are so different to Photoshop where I'm sure it would be easy enough to do the same thing. But alas we have been told to learn this program. Johnny showed me a way to get the master pages numbered, but for some reason it wasn't working for me. I guess i must of done something wrong but i couldn't figure it out even after an extreme google search. So i did the next best thing and asked Kira how to do it and she showed me a different method but it work fine and i think it was easier to remember. so her method was to use the rectangular frame tool then use the text tool inside that frame right click and place a special character in for the current page number. It did exactly what johnny had showed me. these are some inspirational magazine articles i found that i would like my final design to look like.

trying times - story outline

Three best friend triangles are chilling out on a summer’s day having a bbq. They decide it would be nice to take a picture of this day. But whilst taking the photo the mischievous red makes bunny ears behind Greens head ruining the photo. They begin to argue and silver in the back gets bored and wonders off. Once the bbq is set alight they notice their friend is missing and go off to search for their friend. Red quickly notices a triangle face down in the dirt but once they flip him over they realize it’s not their friend and it’s a different triangle. This mustached triangle points in the forest and after following the path they see it leads up the mountain. Once to the top of the mountain, red immediately notices another triangle in bushes and rums on towards into the bush. He jumps out immediately and is chased by a giant rhino, red and green run away and climb a tree to escape. At the top of the tree red sees another triangle in the water and without thinking he jumps into to the
