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

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

first test

darkness falls

kyle cooper " while the power of computer graphics is obvious, he still likes experimenting with live action, because there is something special about the imperfection of making things by hand."

supper 8 Jekyll transformation

style.

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
