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.

Trying to give triangles life

I knew Chris was going to be in the afternoon lecture and i hadnt gotten much round to doing any character designs for script to screen, mainly because they were traingles and i didn't think it would be too difficult. When i got round to it i was struggling to give the characters personality and they just looked really flat. I experimented with creating more complicated designs using a verity of triangles but because the story i had in mind was light hearted and comedic i thought it'd be best to keep with a more cartoonty simple style. Howver i was still left with the problem of the designs looking lifeless When lecture came about chris thought it'd be best to go back to basics and focus on gesture lines and had us in groups create actions and to draw them out. I enjoyed working with my group, but talking to people after class it seemed like half the class didn't enjoy it which kind of baffled me Near the end of class i got chris to look at my des...

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...

Video Essay

I knew it would be best starting off before getting into editting that gathering some knowlege these two videos were pretty useful even though i didnt use any after effects but its useful to know that i can easily work between them Looking at other peoples making of videos as well as the stuff Annabeth posted on Blackboard i was pretty confident in what i needed to do. So i started writing down what footage along with what i wanted to say Gathering the footage was a bit tedious, and i tried to cut out footage that i didn't need, i felt like the 3 minute mark was a good place, not too long not too short. I thought id had confidecne with my voiceover but it was horrible, i was lucky that the room i recorded in had good aucoustics and it doesnt sound ultra horrible i was pretty happy with how the video essay turned out even though its a bit cringe
