Sighing sadly - Global bird

Sighing sadly - Global bird - scene 2

This is one of the animations that I had started on small cintiq and i found it really difficult to draw/animate/paint on the cintiq as all the lines are shaky, I tried but got dejected knowing it wouldn't look right.

Working on the bigger cintiq much better, quicker and mistakes are far less frequent and easier to fix.When i was doing the second pass, I put a lot of effort in knowing that all the animation comes from this pass and if i don't want to have two inking passes this pass needed to fairly detailed and readable. The face and feathers were key and that needed to be done as they were the hardest to keep consistent during animating.

I think that it looks really, though the lift off is a bit quick but there's enough anticipation so its not so abrupt. The timing was key on this shot as the sigh and dejected pose needed enough time to be registered by the viewer. I did find that the inking was more difficult than i thought and not sure why, maybe because the poses were similar and it just seemed longer than it was. I reused some previous animation during the flight as it only made sense to, i had already done the work, so I just had to re-position and size it to match the other frames.

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

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,...
