The Video you [hopefully] just watched is the most recent animation i uploaded to YouTUBE. I've taken the idea of a canon launching a band's demo CD into the sky causing it to explode like a firework, a metaphore I'm using to indicate success, to create a 3D animation. I have use a program called 3D studio max to do this. I was going to try and stick to stop frame for this project in an effort to keep away from computers, although we have already see that this is clearly not heppening. I made this animation because I had a flue like cold and I had no ambition to leave my bed room. The value in animation this way for me is that because the animation process its self is so fast I am able to make timing judgements a lot more successfully. It occures to me that using this method [most computer based forms] of animation as a previsualisation device will help me improve the 'flow' of my stopframe work. I will speak more on this later [, when I know more about what I'm trying to achieve myself]. I still prefer the aesthetic of hand animation.
The next animation I will show you is the second stop frame test for the introducing brief. This animation exists as a 'tweaked' version of the first test. Some of the sprites are larger, its in 16x9 aspect (according to the brief) and the animation sticks to the [one of the earlier] oiginal storyboard[s].
And perhaps its time for a word on photography...
I plan to pick up the photography again after christmas; wether as hobby or as my course practise is unclear. This is a decision I will have to make following the completion of the BBC Brief. I'd like to do some fashion photography and protraiture. Wether or not I do it for the course [Cassey] or for my own sake is going to interesting.
