mini blab

Last week I went to a talk called mini blab at deaf institution in Manchester  this is the first time I have ever bin to one of theses talks what I was expecting was a bunch of designers talking about them self like how they became a designer and were they came from all though it is interesting the best thing about this talk they were given a topic and the topic was “things iv seen” it was nice In a way because each designer described in there own way things they seen in there average life style some of there talks were quite funny one woman was talking about here hatred with brown bananas? But the one I enjoyed the most was a guy hew used to live in the peek districted and has a passion for hiking up and around mountains, now he lives in Manchester but still has a passion for the peek districted scene so he began to take picture of the Manchester land scape to get an sense of the peek district, example was a zoomed in shot of the ground it was a nice green textured almost looks like a over head birds eye shot of field like area with the higher and lower contours but as he began to zoom out, it was a photo of some sick with a bin next to it , but the thing he was trying to say well I hope he was trying to say that there is some thing nice to look at when you look hard enough

portfolio visit

I had a second portfolio visit at a studio called Holden and sons in Manchester in the northern quarter I teamed up with Ashleigh on this, on this visit I decided to take all of my animations/ videos and popped them on my I pad and Im glad I did because first of all I shown peter the boss what I was working on in great detail which was the mayo police idea , but then after he asked me to show him more, and them more so I had the good opportunity to show him more or less all of my work, the one he was interested in and I have had interest in before with other studio was the sonic light drawing brief and I had the opportunity to explain to him on how it was done and he seamed really interested in, he then began to explain when working on a brief always imagine if it was on TV or the internet so always produce it as best quality as possible

Just as we began to leave pete asked us if we can work on a brief from a company called making space company hew help people thru mantel health illnesses, he asked us to create a short 10 second animation , with the logo that is on the website 

team work

I wont to dedicate this post to team work, working with the compotation brief we christened “mayo police” it was interesting and is very different in the way I work,  strait from the start of the project to the very end , at the start of the project when coming up with ideas is normally quite tricky and a bit of a challenge but working with  some one it becomes much easier. So when we had a bit of an idea and bounced it between us both adding more and more layers to become a good idea the best thing about are 2 man team is that we had a mix of different talent for instance jack has a good eye for creating a good narrative with in the story board and I consider my self as a good builder , so really we could be a little ambitious and we settled on creating a stop motion , as time when on and we got the build and the story board nailed and began to stop motioning it was nice in the way when we got to the point were we had to stop motion one at a time when one of use got tired the other carried and it on and vise versa  in a way the momentum stayed at a steady pace so we could work much longer  and the quality of the work was much better

I have definitely learned from this experience and using people that have different strengths in there field makes the over all out come more stronger 

set ideas

its a walking jar !!

This is a test we did to test out are walk cycle to see if it was possible and good news it was we know now we can move the jar now the next step is to see what a running cycle will look like and also give it a more dominant walk at the moment it almost seams like it is swaying side to side now we need to do it in a way it has a more dominant walk and all so see what different size jars will do

This one I have found I discovered a while back whiles doing my sonic light drawing commotion brief  they are called Making Future Magic!  And they are an advertisement agency I have talked about it before but I really like the videos they produce some of there stuff is completely left field in the way on how creative they are hear are some of there work

batman

At this moment in time me and jack have a good idea on what we are doing now and are idea is quite solid, subconsciously me and jack batman fans have some what recreated a scene from batman begins, iv bin trying to find it but no luck but let me refresh your memory its the scene when Bruce wane first becomes batman and he is in the shipping yard stopping some criminals and he is sneaking around the crates being stealthy making small noises left right and center to creep the villains out and then attacks

And this is what me and jack are trying to achieve in this stop motion

     

chapman

When starting a new project I always try to stay away from stop motion I always say stop motion is a long and tedious process but more I try to get away from it I still end up doing it and enjoying it for example my sonic brief, pop up college promotion video and now my latest one mayo police, through out the process YES the process is long painful tedious tiring but the end thing is always rewording especially with mayo police, there was a lot of tricky shots and a lot of thing went wrong but we managed to plow thru it and I am quite happy with the finial out come, whiles doing it me and jack wonted some tips of stop motion experts so I emailed, rang and emailed again to the Chapmen Entertainment, unfortunately no reply but in the future if I don’t do a stop motion I still wouldn’t mind going to see them so I will keep trying, on the other hand jack try to communicate to a stop motion company in Manchester but unfortunately they didn’t reply nether, all though stop motion is a tricky field to work in I am definitely interested and would definitely do it again  

taking pics in poland

When we went to Poland last week it was running side by side with the project we are working on, which is a stop motion peace that is based around world war two so it has to look old and unconditioned street ,  a nice thing about the visit to Poland most of the buildings were exactly like the buildings we needed to refer to when making are street scene it was nice to get the feel of the building up close so when we began to create the set we can at least under stand the style of the buildings  im not saying the building in Poland were grimy it was the style of buildings were looking, some of the buildings we found had some nice architecture and all most look like buildings from what you see in world war two photos

After coming back to this blog a coup weeks after when we have created the set I don’t think we would of achieved it with out looking at the buildings up close, 

Poland studio visit

When we went to Poland last week we visited 2 studios , unfortunately they weren’t moving image studios, they were graphic influenced, despite of this the work they produced was quite creative and fun out of the 2 studios the one I preferred the most was the first one we went to which was called Mill studio it was a small studio with 4 members of staff , the work they produced was quite nice with in it was a mix of computer graphics and hands on photography, it seamed like they properly understood there audience for instance one of there projects was to create a small booklet for children to explain the operations they might face, the book they made was nice in its self but one of there original ideas they had was to use a form of paper that was easy to color in for the children to better under stand the booklet and the operation

Another nice thing that was nice and don’t really hear in other studio but I think this because there new in the industry, is that they were explaining problems they faced like creating contracts, creating things for friends, explaining on what to show in a job opportunity, and how to show it,

They other studio we went to was called Para Studio nice thing about this studio they created a nice stop motion peace and for there first attempted it was pretty good but the problem was when we was asking question about it there was a bit of a language barrier so it was hard to get answers, 

whitworth art gallery

A while back we visited a gallery in Manchester called whitworth art gallery the expedition that was shown at that time was an expedition called dark matters, shadow, technology

They was a wide range of interesting peace of work the first one I was drawn to was a interactive sculpture that was made up of hundreds of small wooden stakes that where cut at an angle and was attached to a camera, the camera was used as a motion detector and when an object was past in front of it the angled peace of wood arranged them selves to portray the object all most like a mirror, the reason why im attracted to this peace is im quite interested on how things work and how the mechanism works on the in side and this peace is so nice and elegant that the knowledge of the making of it might ruin the esthetics of it   

As we exited the gallery we walked through a room with a huge projection screen almost like a cinema screen it was projecting a snow camera which was a camera that projected thousands / millions of white dots, the white dots where attracted to the light like the lighter parts of the face lighter parts of you body and the white dots clotted to gather and revealed almost simple shaped silo wet of the person

tate

Last week when we visited Liverpool for the zee expedition we also visited Liverpool Tate gallery, it wasn’t really engaging as it is normally, I think we just mist an expedition or we when just before one but I did find some hidden gems that I found really interesting the first one I found was a moving sculpture it consisted of a bunch of tools like hammer’s, saws, screw drivers, motors and so on when you pressed the button they begin to interact with each other all most like a domino affect so when the motor starts up the saw starts to move side to side and raises the hammer and begins to tap the metal and the effects keep repeating. I like the mechanics of how thing work and in the past I have opened things up to see how they work but this peace is quite nice in the way its open and reveals the mechanism , its quite interesting in the way the each object relies on each other to make it move and also the irony of using the tool to create the sculpture, “unfortunately my memory card is not revealing any images but I will keep trying to find out the name of the peace ” another peace that I thought was interesting I know it has bin done a million times but I think it has a lot of potential it is a sculpture of a box with mirrors on the inside and holes so u can see in and it’s the illusion  of seeing infinity and I think that’s the reason of potential the depth of how far you can see and this could be quite nice in an video.

super 8 version

ZEE

Yesterday me jack and tom had a trip to Liverpool to an expedition at FACT called abandon normal devices  which “ZEE” invented be Kurt Hentschlager was being shown

Before we when I knew quite a little apart from what was said on the internet like people experience but each one was different and I could get a clear reading on what it actually was. What I gather it was is a outer body experience, and you will feel like you are flouting

Before I went I was a bit of a non-believer and couldn’t get my head around how serial this thing will be my original thoughts where that there was going to be a puff of smoke and a bit of a light show

When we eventually arrived at Liverpool and got to fact, something a bit dodge happened the guy at the desk was trying to spook use out of it and told use about the bad side affects that could happen unfortunately this got to tom and jack. I was having non of it and wanted to go in so I eventually talked jack in to it.

When it was are time we went down this hall way and yet again this other member of staff what trying to talk us out of it using all these scar tactics at this point we couldn’t go back we then strolled in to this pre smoke room it “smelt like sawdust “

when ever one got to gather we then went in to the actual ZEE room “BLOODY HELL I WAS WRONG” I couldn’t see a thing it was just a thick sea of thick fog it was such a weird feeling then the lights kicked in colors hitting you left right and center it was all most like a kaleidoscope twirling around in your face

after a while I let go of the rope and walked to the center it was like swimming in open water. really strange

after 10 minuets of that I was  pretty baffled

when we left went for lunch visited the Tate gallery and came back to get tom involved

the next visit didn’t go to plan and probable scared tom. We went in like last and it was going well the kaleidoscope came back but 5 minutes in tom went missing and there was an uncomfortable scream it was like some one getting murdered. So me and jack decided to look for tom luckily tom was fine and was waiting out side he said he herd the scream and got out of there but apparently some one pasted out and decided to scream before he hit the floor    

colour

here is another example i found i really like the colour chose they used it makes the
imagery more powerful especially the hints of red, the cross over between the blue and
the red is quite nice in the way it suddenly changes the mood of the peace

titles

http://www.watchthetitles.com/

http://www.artofthetitle.com/

i found 2 great websites that are really use full and i used within creating my title sequences for ideas 

. while looking through the sites and watching many titles it did change some of my original ideas such as my font size i was going to originally have big text that covered the page but i found that most title have text tucked away in the corner. so thats what i did i when back and presented my text in a different way  

kyle coop 1-10

this is one of my 10 important posts i know its not an expedition at a gallery or a museum, and it just a video on you tube but i found it really use full and it is a really good insight of artists point of view

as this is the first time i have created a title sequence i was not sure what to do and i found that kyle cooper kept cropping up i did some more investigation with in kyle cooper and he relates to my work in the way he has a healthy mix of digital work and hands on work he has done over 150 titles some of them are better then the film he is doing them for

what i had trouble on when i was creating my title sequence was adding text and finding away how to show them with in the video he begins to explain how he dose it, he sees the texts as a tool and should be well planed and intertwine it with the story of the film and not add the text after creating the title

another aspect that was interesting he was explaining is the hole trial and error and how that how good and accurate a computer is. it might not be the right way to go in stead experiment with other things to try get a similar and or  interesting look and this is quite similar in the way i work in some of my project especially this title sequence im working on now

portfolio visit 3rd

this was my first portfolio visit of the 3rd year at the THE NEIBOURHOOD before i when in to the visit i was talking to steve last years 3rd year, i began to show him my work and then talked work and how it is different from receiving briefs at college and receiving briefs in the work place, at the moment steve has worked on a couple of briefs but at this moment the work he is doing has already bin planed out and he has bin told what to do. but he explained that when a new brief dose come in a group of people hew are working on it go. go in to the meeting room and come up with ideas,


when i when in for my visit i did it in front of 3 people sarah, john and steve they where very nice people and enthusiastic about by work one of the mane discussions we had and one i was worried about the most is my style of work, i asked if there was any studies that were based around hands on project unfortunately she wasn't that sure, but she did say that i had a great skill set and don,t worry about it because in the industry most studies are not 100% digital and hands on projects are needed for some videos and with a great skill set could produce better ideas

Red Bull Music Academy World Tour: Amplifying local scenes beyond the beat from Red Bull Music Academy on Vimeo.

this is not any thing to do with my super 8 project but I’m quite fond of it and looks like my style of work I quite like the different styles they use and how they bring them to gather, and all so the time that they must of spent creating it, as I have looked into light drawing in the past I now know how long it takes

in the description of the video it says “World Tour going straight to the heart of today’s most crucial musical movements” and I think they achieved that by using different medias to simulate different music movements

when I was looking thru the red bull campaigns and advertisements I found a red bull animation were you have to animate around a red bull can unfortunately I didn’t have time to create a new animation so I used a structure of one of my old animations and changed it to reveal a red bull can, luckily it worked quite well all though I didn’t win I did get 590 hits so at least I know people did see it   

animatic

i have extended my tests and created my first animatic at this moment some of the clips are week but the ideas are pretty solid im going look in to them moor and extend them i have began to look in to the color pallet to give it a moor interesting look i have decided now to stick with the hints of green and yellow. for the next stage i am going recreate my successful shots and record them on super 8 at the moment i have 2 supper 8 cartage's and i hope i only need one so i can save money

FLIPBOOK

The other studio im quite interested in and I would like to work at is a place in Manchester called flipbook it’s a cgi animation and visual arts studio the two mane big guys are Andrew lord and ben Haworth

they concentrate on advertising and promotional videos for games

CHAPMAN ENTERTAINMENT

When I when to the portfolio visit at kilogram I was talking to him about my Stockport college stop motion idea and he told me about the chapman entertainment and I presumed he was talking about the one in London because I have herd of it in the past. I recently research and there is one based in Altrincham which is like 20 minuets down the road the mane man him self is Keith chapman hew is the manager then there is exclusive producer Greg Lynn at the Altrincham branch there are approximately 20 members of staff that work there it is a kids tv show company the two mane programs they work on is Roary the racing car and fifi and the flower totts they got of the ground and well know from the program they did in the past called bob the builder

THE NEIBOURHOOD

Another big studio that I found quite interesting and would love to work at is the neighbourhood in Manchester I luckily have a portfolio visit in October and we have worked with them in the past with that Lexus brief, they produce a range of out animation out comes like the use live action, 3d software, flash,   the two mane people hew work there are Jon Humphreys and Sarah Baker I was amazed on the thing they have produced I have seen in the past like adverts, the channel 5 indent. I would have to say one of my favorites animations they have produced is one of the PlayStation adverts I like the transition between the 3d snake object thing with in the game play

MASK CREATIVE

The second company I would strangely like to visit or work is a company called mask creative I came across this company thro college with the promotional video hick up, but when I did some investigation in to it, it seams like a nice place its located in Dewsbury near Haddersfield     

The type of work they do are mostly advertising ( live action )they also specialize in to fashion, leisure and lifestyle

I’m not shur how many people work there but Johnny Carr and rick smith are the two mane directors there are the two directors hew did the Stockport college video

Be for I knew eny thing about the company or what they did I have seen some of the adverts in the past like the Manchester Arndale center advert

KILOGRAMME

I would have to say the first studio Im going to look into I think would have to be Kilogramme as I have been there for a portfolio visit in the past I would be quite happy to work there, there work seams fun and enjoyable to watch, they are based in Manchester the type of work they do are manly flash and 3d animations, the two mane people who work there are Jon turner and Claire grey and they work side by side with three other freelancers

Im not that shur if they have a mane animation they base there work around but the mane animation I’m in to and I like to watch which i saw be for I knew any think about kilogramme is sure

first tests

 this was one of my first tests, i think i started of quite well with my lighting and the atmosphere and the general mood on what i wont to get across, there are some strong point like robert da niro scene that i can develop moor and try to pull some more emotion from it, but there are some week stuff like the ink in water, but at this moment i think it is all about trile and fail

ink idea

wondering on things to do i decided to look in to ink as it is an old mothered of work and could look quite nice in my style, i found this interesting ink and water experiment and i had a ago unfortunately my tests did not work but i did go on and extended my ink ideas and did some more tests like blowing ink and dropping ink

style for the ride

for the style i would like to go with for my ride is the style you see in kids programs/animation. i like the simple shapes in the way that the objects are smooth playful also so the way they use bear minimum texture but the object is still recognisable. all thought this is the style i would like to go with im not keen on doing a kids animation

mask

in the past i had a go at making a mask with latex but there had some flaws like it was to small the shape was a bit dodgy and was very uncomfortable so decided to have ago for real by duplicating by face and it could be quite useful in my supper 8 idea in the way I could creating a realist Frankenstein mask or any other parts of the body

1.in this proses I first greased up my head with a bit of Vaseline so the alginate wouldn’t stick to my hairs and rip them out

2.then I mixed up the powdered alginate one part alginate one par water as it has a fast drying time i had to mix it quite fast

3. then I got my mate to poor it on my noggin it a bazar feeling I should of used slightly warmer water because it was bloody freezing

4. when it was on it dried quite fast

5. when it dried my mate added a couple layers of plaster we did this so when later on in the proses we can place the algernate mask in this and poor some thing like plaster of Paris in there and it will keep its shape because the plaster will become really hard when its dry

6/7 unfortunately at the start I added to much water in he powder alginate and when I tuck the mask of my face it was to sloppy and very flimsy but not in a good way it fell apart in my hands and I couldn’t really use it

it was I complete fail as now I know where I when wrong and know what I need to do next, and all so the plaster shell came out good and a looks like a serial mask

supper 8 style frame

What I was planning to do with my supper 8 project I was going to look in to film or tv title sequence my plan was to create a tile sequence for classical monsters like vampires, werewolves, zombies things like that but to make it easy on my self I was going to concentrate on one, at the moment in time I was considering Frankenstein as there is quite a lot of angles to look in to that could be interesting things like the science side of things, the monster its self, electrical equipment and the general atmosphere

I did a still style frame to get a feel of what some shots of the monster could look like I would like to do it in the same style of the opening sequence of the film se7en using different angles, zoomed In shots, fast shots and using a supper 8 camera I think it could be quite affective. especially the color and quality of the super 8 it would give the finial out come would be creepy and sinister

3D idea

When I was looking through sites upon sites of tutorials I finally found out how to create 3d videos in maya which fits in to my idea nicely in this idea what I wont to achieve is to create virtual ride all most like a ghost ride that you see in theme parks I wont to make it slightly serial in the way when the ride kicks in and travels through the doors it enters different surroundings the example I used was traveling through space I know the video I made was a bit odd in the scale of things if I did this space room for reel I would definitely adjust the scale of things like make the planets bigger and make the cabin smaller so it will be more realistic, as ideas for other rooms im not that shur yet as I don’t wont to get tide down with this idea just yet

keating, tom

looking around i found a interesting short video by tom keating, im liking the short snappy shots through out the video it gives it momentum even thought some clips are really short they still give the video character and make the video more exciting

supper8

Over the holiday my major influence was involving a supper 8 camera I began my investigation at the star of the holidays it was a long and tedious and expensive proses. The first thing I did was got my hands on a supper 8 camera this was an easy bit as quite a lot of places sell them like at charity shops ebay old camera shops, when I got the camera the next step was to get some film reel I found getting the film quite tricky as no places sell it and not a lot of places develop supper8 film cartridges luckily I found the place in London called the wide screen center witch sell supper 8 film and also develop the film to so I got my film of them after shooting my footage I sent my film back and got it back the week after witch I thought was surprisingly fast while it was processing in London I found an old camera shop in Manchester that has old supper 8 cameras 8mm cameras and just old cameras and luckily supper 8 projectors so I got my hands on the projector. When I ran the film through the projector it was inverted so I recorded it on my camera and imported it on the computer and inverted it to its right colors and did a couple of color tweaks and after all that I have created a short supper 8 test that I thought was a success but unfortunately as good as the finial out come is and how interesting the proses was I don’t think I could do a hole project around it because the process is to expensive and I think it is just going to go as far as a test on this one

pop up evaluation

Working on the pop up brief was quite interesting, at the moment the book isn’t even nearly finished but we decided to concentrate on one page and make page designs for the rest, we did one page to get it as good as we can for the dead line, and then after the dead line we can focuses on finishing it of

Towards the beginning of the brief I became the director and was in charge of a quite big team, as my right had man jack was my director as I have worked with jack before I found it quiet easy to bounce decisions and ideas of him, but toward the middle jack had to many commitments and had to drop his directors place, then Sarah became my director as I don’t really work with Sarah that often it was a change at first but working with her thru to the end she was really organised and gave of good ideas

Are original pop up idea was pretty hard because we had to make are pop ups actually work but we decided to go 100% stop motion the method was much easier because we could cheat in the way the pop up did have to work we would just have to move it bit by bit so we decided to go with that and it seamed to of worked well

director

being the director for this project at the moment is a bit wird in the way it not the way i normally work at the moment it is a pretty big team and i normally work solo or some times in a pear, at the moment every thing is under control because i was one of the mane people hew thought of the idea a long side jack and tom and i know the idea pretty well so i'm pretty confident on what i wont the idea to look like as a finished animation, in the team we have a wide range of talent combining are forces and playing to are strengths we can create a great video

rick stockport college

helping rick on his stockport college brief i suggested some ideas as he wont more then one person in his video and he wont's them to intertwine with each other i suggested the daniel power bad day music video as there is to people doing there own thing and they meet in the video this could be a good idea to use

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH476CxJxfg&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=AVGxdCwVVULXdLVN_WoEMjyIFcj2VTsdoO

another idea i had was the way he is stating his video is he will have his character shaking hand with his new boss i was thinking as he is shaking his had it can go in real time then slowly go in revers then pics up speed going backwards and then it will show clips of real time then rewind again

going to real time then slowly rewinds is like the snipper shot in wanted I KNOW ITS A BULLET i'm looking how it rewinds

studio visit

first of all what an existing day first starting of the day with a 10 minute presentation with critical perspectives then a studio visit in the afternoon, the presentation is a story for another day but the port folio visit in the after noon was at a studio called kilogramme as this was my first portfolio visit i was pretty nervous because i didn't know what to expect, as i made my way to the room Jon turner the directer of the studio introduced me to people hew worked there jon and the team seamed nice and easy to get along with , first of all i began to show him my videos it looked like he was interested with the different techniques i used in my animations. i began to break some down like my sonic brief i told him how i did it like how i got the straight lines every time, then he shown me a peace of work he did that allso involved stop motion, it was a stop motion/face painting/Digital peace but unfortunately didn't get used as a advertisement, then we began to talk about the 3rd year in moving image i told him about the open brief and i said im thinking not set in stone yet but of doing a stop motion animation he then told me about company called Chapman films ,

through out the summer they said they are going to be working on a music video brief and ask if i was interested in helping out,

there we go tom i remade it in photo shop i was thinking to reveal the text we could do how they did it in bat man

noises for jack

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0Gtavp1HGE&feature=related

yo jack i checked out a engine noise it sound pretty crap but ill put it on there for you but if u are sill gone a use a tune what about one republic secret ( the instrumental version ) it picks up and slows down in some bits and plus its a good song

taglines

yo guys i was looking in to film tag lines could b a good idea to us there rhyme set up but use are own work

magnets

the idea i head was to use a voice over, over some fero fluid and shape it in the way on what the voice over is saying so if the guy was saying some thing like the high-brid is environmentally friendly i could make the liquid react as a tree, and when he talks about how fast the car is i could make the liquid move really fast

no idea

at the moment for the last 2 week i have looked in to creating ideas for the lexus brief but at the moment i Havant got one that i am happy with so i'm began to look in to car adverts, there are thousands of them throgh the ones i looked in to there was a pattern or a theme emerging each one was new, unique, quite quirky, fun and get's to the point, for example this lexus advert it very energetic and gets to the point by exaggerating that the car is faster than gravity it show the audience that the car is pretty fast, in my ideas i need a key point that will show the high-brid's function show in a physical form or in some what abstract way
