skill set

Quite obviously, whilst trying to complete this project, there is also the daunting prospect lingering in the back of my brain about life after university... Have come across this helpful website and have started sending out emails to relevant personnel about job placements and/or work experience...
fingers crossed...

Quick update on progress with film...
drawing drawing drawing... I had a few weeks where I really struggled with this project but I have just had to realise I have to keep moving with it and let it do its own thing. Trying to push it in one direction when it is quite obviously taking a different one wasn't working, and I am now understanding that it is not going to be the film I had initially planned it to be, which, I think is a good thing... honestly...

ANIMATIC....urgh.

Ok so as that upload of my animatic didn't seem to work AGAIN I have put it onto Youtube... here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB2mTKqfJOI.

ok and now i have just reviewed it and there doesn't seem to be any sound on this version..........lets see if I can fix that now. This animation malarky just seems to be one technical issue after another. its a lot of problem solving for someone like me who is used to a piece of paper and a pencil.

ANIMATIC....urgh.

This is the 2nd version of my animatic... still not ideal. but it'll do for now.

This is the part of the animation process I seem to be worst at. For the past few weeks I have been struggling to get my ideas down on paper in any form that I like. I was disappointed with my original animatic (which is less of an animatic and more a set of still images that look like a six year old drew them) I tried to upload it onto here but luckily it doesn't seem to want to work.

After reviewing my work up till that point it seemed more appropriate to my theme and my natural style of drawing to drop the pen/pencil and pick up a bunch of charcoal instead... this actually seemed to be helping for a while and these are a few results....

my deep sea divers.

selection of two old school deep sea diver's helmets i did as etchings last year inspired by a book project i did. I made a few more but after aqua tinting them these two turned out the best.

FOXY

These are some little collages I did where I tried to find animals who are used to represent human qualities. These ones are crabby, eagle-eyed and foxy. I don't think the first two work so well... the foxy man definitely turned out the best.
