Research

This is some Research that i forgot to inculed in my sketchbook as i just found the print outs, quite annoying. These are both big influences on the style and idea for my animation.

Daniel Greeves - Manipulation is really quirky with the hand interacting with the drawn animation, I used this idea with in my own animation.

Kristian Andrews - Trees for Cites. Kristian Andrews is one of my favourite animators as his animations are always highly stylised with his use of colour and the angle of shots. With this animation i tried to recreate the colours and the style of this in my own animation and did so quite poorly, I think i will leave the cutout filter on photoshop alone in the future.

Lidy Animation

 

This my Animation of Lidy... I'm not Happy with it as it just looks so crude and in hindsight i dont really like the style of the cutout effect. I did learn quite a lot about the software while doing this project which will be helpful in the future. 

Character Design

This my Character Design for Lidy, im not that pleased with the results as it looks quite crude and her head is too big.

Spotlight

This was a aftereffcts tutorial using mask's. i am struggling a little with aftereffects as it's a little complex.

DJ Brick Top

This was an interesting lesson, as i have tried to use this program using tutorials off youtube and it's so much easier to have it shown to you in a lesson. I found that with Aftereffects you can quickly create different effects effectively. I think it will take a couple of lesson before i completely understand how to use it but I thought we covered a lot in the first lesson which was good!

Keep Out

This lesson I found quite useful as it gave me a better understanding of putting things into groups on the layer window. Also how you create the same shadow on different images. Also how you can turn type into a shape so you can do different things with it, such as using the rubber tool to make it look warn away.

My Weekend, Rode my bike to the trainstation, where I got the train to Bath and had a BBQ.

I was actually quite surprised with this lesson as I thought Photoshop pretty well but i didn't know a few simple things that were shown, such as with the magic wand you can inverse, to select what you haven't selected. Using images from the Internet I tried to sum up my weekend by creating the layers and using refine edges tool to make it all smooth as shown. Apart from the images being a low quality this has turned out OK!
