Production Bibles!

Only 1 assignment left! :D I found the MAA2 Reader quite useful, especially the "A technique for producing ideas" by James Webb Young which I tried and it helped since normally I dont write down my ideas enough just keep them cluttered inside o_O Slightly uncertain about presenting my Taxonomies tommorrow, its been good practise for me in terms of cutout/stop motion even though I'm perhaps more interested in the 3D and I really enjoyed making it and animating my most pride possession (DaddyTeddy).

Production bibles are going well, trying to decide which idea to present, it does say "a fully developed idea for a film that presents a very mundane event [...]" are the others supposidly not fully developed? I found I'm quite good at thinking of stories, I used to do RPG which is about using your imagination to create stories/worlds for other people to enjoy as well as write your own story inside a world someone else has created.

Working on my Negociated proposal version2! >_>

Deadlines

Well I'm up late working on Taxonomies!I initially started with animations with images taken by other people but in the end I decided to try to animate something I've wanted to animate for a long time, my teddy bear since I was born, DaddyTeddy. The idea I used of having a still image with various things in it that are important to me was an early idea of mine but I scrapped it since I couldnt get the video to play effectively in the small box but thankfully Miao gave a helping hand :D

Drip Splat Boing I went for something experimental using notice board pins, lots of them to represent a ball of water that drips from the ceiling, it worked out pretty well, I also experimented a little more with stop motion with some pencils and small plasticine ball.

Return to Newport

I have returned! Spent New Year in London with MiaoMiao, time to work! For Drip Splat Boing i've decided to use Photoshop initially then manipulate it in After Effects, for the "analogue means alone" the 2nd DPB animation I've decided to use my graphics tablet, since I want to improve my skills with it and also its still hand drawn.

Would have been better if the assignments had been spaced out more rather than have multiple assignments due on the same day but in the words of Reinhold Niebuhr "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference".
