rathergoodstuff

rather good stuff, is the animating team who create the really stupid but very funny crusha advert. i recently found this stop frame animation by the same group of people. and its called 'Beer Beer Beer'

Music vids,

Browsing charlottes blog i noticed a britney video which i love, another of my fave vids is coffee and tv. which features a charming milk carton made made the Jim Henson creature shop.



Enjoy! its so cute

animatics

hello.

recently Charlotte asked me to produce animatics for my storyboards, at first I was a bit unsure because I had forgotten how to use premiere but once i got back into it i discovered it was kind of like riding a bike and i hadnt forgotten at all :) I also used sound and found the sound effects and music I wanted on a royalty free website http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/pir/PIRsfx.shtml it has a wide variaty for free and is really simple to use :)

DeAtHnOtE

Deathnote is an anime which i am obsessed with, there are 37 episodes spread over two series and im currently on episode 6 of series 2, its really really good, and is soo gripping. the episodes ALWAYS end on a cliff hanger which is irritating but a good way to keep you watching, they are based on graphic novels and there are also two live action movies mixed with CGI out now which i saw a few weeks ago and they are amazing ;)

random bits

Hello.
had our other pitch with james yesterday and we were all very happy that he really liked our storyboards and genrell ideas.
i was especially chuffed as he seemed to really like my idea on how to improve the 'Royale Meal' design :) i had to redraft my story boards but seeing as i enjoy doing them i didnt mind and i suppose its more work for my portifolio at the end of the day. I kind of wish the grouos were are assigned to now are the groups that we will be staying in because i would really like to see this project through. although actuall animating isnt really my strong point, i prefer pre and post production to be honest! :D

random :)

been working on our final project recently and im really enjoying it, i like doing storyboarding an coming up with ideas so im in my element, charlottes a very good producer, shes very organised and is always making sure the team fully understands whats going on and what we should be doing, :D

MAYA

hmmm... maya. i think i might be changing my mind slightly on this programme... but i have found the flour sack and creating the moving ball task quite enjoyable and very informative. the more i use maya the more i feel comfortable and i actually find it easier animating in maya than in flash which i never thought i would say, i think i will attempt to complete the online tutorials so i feel more confident but i am very pleased with my flour sack attempt because when we were set the task i was filled with dread.. but it wasnt that bad :) and i actually feel like ive achieved something which is always good :D
