I also realised I haven't uploaded my graduation film to my blog yet or youtube for that matter. Hopefully I will get it up in the next week or so. I need to compress amov down so it doesn't take all day to upload.
Graduation next week and the Grad Ball... so it's busy times... and then us animators will all be going our separate ways :( *sob*

My Online Portfolio is now online! ^-^

Results!

Yesterday we got our results. We now all officially have degrees :) We survived!

*PARTY AT THE PLAYHOUSE* tomorrow night starting from 8:00. We are screening in the bar and having a DVD playing in the snug ^-^ Should be another nice get together and a chance for people to see our work.

Also I'm hoping to get my website online by the end of tonight. Had a few problems with hosting etc... but it seems to all have straightened out now so watch this space.

Dissertation

I have also been spending the last couple of days working on my dissertation. I hope to have it almost finished by the time I have my final tutorial in a couple of weeks.
My dissertation looks at Joeseph's Campbell's theory of the monomyth and applies it to the Harry Potter series. I have completed my research now and am just trying to figure out exactly how to structure the piece without it being too repetitive O_O
Anyway I came up with the following diagram applying the theory to the series. Turns out that it fits quite well ^-^ hurray for that!

Phillipe and Plumbum

This is the film we showed in the exhibition. It is unfinished because Nicole was very sick :( and then I was very very busy when they came to Norwich. But hopefully we can add sound and finish it up at some point.
Everything went really well with this project! I really really enjoyed it! It was so cool to meet people from another art school from another country ^-^ And I really feel like I've learnt a lot from this project.

It's almost over...

The ENCOUNTERS project is almost coming to an end. Images have been sent to print today and the exhibition will be next week. It has been a long project... I feel this is mainly because we did not have access to the internet at home through the whole duration of the thing.
I am really looking forward to meeting everyone from St Joost next week and the AURORA festival will be a nice break from all the stresses of the last few weeks. ^-^ Hooray!

Plumbum & Phillipe

I have finally started working properly on my BREDA project and I am really excited about it! I think that Nicole and me will work well together :) Nicole has already come up with a short scenario which we are going to work on over this week before producing some storyboards. I am really looking forward to making this film! ^-^

ENCOUNTERS update...

Have just had our first video conference with the students from St Joost.
I have come up with a character called Tina who lives with her small cat which grew from a tree.

I have paired up with Nicole and her character Plumbum

ENCOUNTERS Project

Back to uni for my final year and we are already getting stuck in with the work. As well as working on our final films and dissertation we are taking part in a joint project between the Norwich School of Art and Design (us) and St Joost Art Academy, Holland.
The project entitled ENCOUNTERS will involve students in both schools working together over the internet to create short films.
ENCOUNTERS website & My Project Blog
I will update with character designs and line tests soon...
