Animation at X-mas

Well been 10 days since I last wrote, handed in my essay on Character and Film Narrative in Computer Games, i'm very proud of the essay once I got into it I ended up writing 4,000 words, so I put 1,500 words in the appendix as a sort of background reading, "evolution of a diegetic world", that part discussed evolution of characters into human shapes (anthropomorphise, i think thats a word) Pacman being the first.

The presentation well quite well I think, I am very passionate about games so its a subject that always interests me so I think thats maybe why i found it easier to present it, I also think my research was thorough but presented simply.

The David Smith essay is debatable, the lectures didnt really cover how to analyse a research it was more the research methods (hence the title), almost all stuff I learnt when i did my dissertation on my BA (focus groups, questionnaires etc..) That essay I think I did it well enough but perhaps could have organised it a bit better and concentrated more on analysis, i think at times i concentrate more on synopsising.

The new projects:

Taxonomies - going to try to mix still images with video in a sort of albumbook list of things I like or are important to me
Production Bibles - Been thinking about that recently
Drip Splatty Boing - Hand Drawn animation or cut outs for one, and Flash for the other



Back Soon :D
