London portfolio visit two





London portfolio visit two

Nexus 
My second visit in London was nexus it was me and jack, I have to say this was my favorite place of the 2 portfolio visits I when on
We was originally only going to be in there for 30 minutes but we manages to be in there for an hour and a half 
first of all when me and jack was talking about are work they were very nice and gave us some good feed back I was explaining my idea to them and shown them some of my test of my fmp and one of them gave me a link to a music video which was very use full and it has helped me to change my style of my city and made it much easier to create, so instead of creating 3d buildings in maya and spending a lot of time with 3d texture I am going to try flat images in photo shop

1.40 in the video







one of the other nice thing about nexse is that that they tuck us around the studio and they introduced me to a guy called Le Fevre he is a BAFTA and British Animation Award winning filmmaker,  he was a really nice guy and was interested  with a variety of technique he has a blog,  one of the pages is about phonoscope and we talked for a while about mine the one I made in 2nd year

Blac Ionica







Blac Ionica

One of the nice things I found about blac ionica is that that they told some of there story’s, about how in some of the animations and videos they made, they made some stupid mistakes like things accidently being the wrong size or the wrong color after a day of shooting, and they told us that stuff like this will happen despite how careful you are, and the majority of the time it is fixable in the editing proses.

Blac ionica like most other companies started from nothing and moved from place to place until they found a nice place in London but they kept saying to get the word out and to get more well know in the industry socialising is the key. 


London studio visit one




Double G was one of my favorite place we when to in London, the work they did was a variety of things and used a vast about of techniques and the work they produces was fun and enjoyable to watch, and in some way it is quite similar to my style of the way I work. The studio its self seamed like a nice place and was in a nice area of London and for the future I would be interested in some sort of work experience there,

Beakus

Are first day in London me, jack and tom had a portfolio visit at a place called BEAKUS, one of the reasons I wanted to visit this place it is not a specialist place that focuses on one thing it shows a variety of technique like 2d, 3d stop motion, live action

The 2 people that were talking to use were eleni o’keeffe and steve smith
There were really nice people and had some us full feed back for are animations. 
For example when they was talking about mine and jacks mayo police they said it would be better if it was slightly shorter and had better sound affects.
