Group Project

I have just completed a new animation within a group at The Cambridge School of Art. It was an interesting experience here are a few shots and stills from the movie. Better photos of the Puppet to follow.

The animation was created using a range of stop motion, after effects and maya. Created with Carmen Plum and Olivia Rose. Thanks to you both.

ITD:Last Brief:Editorial

For the final brief we had to chose an editorial and produce a piece to fill the allocated space.

I chose one around the argument of orchid and dandelion children, the idea being that some children are predisposed to being one way or another, if an 'orchid child' is in a loving/nurturing environment it will bloom and do very well in life, if its brought up in less than ideal way it will wither, whilst dandelion children have the ability to survive no matter what. I think i'm probably an orchid.....

So here are some ideas I had

Add caption

I made interchangeable faces so that all the characters could be changed to meet the brief. 

ITD:character- combine and animal and a mode of transport?

Bit of an on odd brief this week, we have to combine a mode of transport and an animal, I did some brainstorming but one of my earlyest ideas remained my favourite the Segway Bear, I thought this would be a great opportunity to revisit my circus Brief from first year, which I was disappointed with. So here is the one...the only...BANJO....

Emotion Board of Banjo

We were required to show them in four states of emotion, as fallows...

Lonely

Destructive

Depressed

Anxious

I also made a stand up puppet, he's animated too.

A very fun brief all in all. 

ITD: stamps

New Brief to create a series of four stamps based on a State.

This was a bit of a doozie, two week brief, I wanted to use cut out something about the format of a stamp really appealed to my cut out frame of mind....which made me thing states of mind, staes of emotion.

the concept behind these stamps is that the sender would by this stamps as pre-cursa to the contannt of the letter inside i.e. if you were sending a birthday card or informing someone of a wedding you would use a euphoric stamp.

Furious: "I'm angry!" possibly a over due bill

Melancholy:"Bad news" your ill.

Affection:"I <3 you" for a love letter x

Euphoric:"SO VERY HAPPY!" for good news.

All in all pretty pleased with these. They went down well.

There testament to a simple idea and clear design winning out on the day!

Maybe I should try that out more.

ITD: Zeen Brief
