Maya

A small practice of using light and shadows in Maya... :)
Within this we learnt how to use various different shadows, lights and creating reflections within objects. I reflected an image of the studio into the chrome sphere. 

After Effects...

A practice of making a flower morph!

A bit late uploading, but nevertheless here it is! :)

General bits and bobs!

It's been faaaar too long since I posted anything. Here's a basic roundup of everything I've been doing (work to follow soon! I promise!)

We've started Flash animation within my course, really enjoying that. It's taking a bit of practice just remembering the different shortcuts.

There's a printscreen of what i've been doing. Creating characters, making various different parts of them, converting to symbols and animating :)

I've also been working on part of Leah's third year project, rotoscoping a metal video :)

Here's a few of the frames i've done so far:

 

I've also been working on After Effects a lot. that program is quite fun to use, we've been making a flower morph, practicing using different backgrounds and generally having a go with the software too.

Within Maya we've begin modelling, I'm enjoying that but it requires a lot of patience and time. I'm going to begin modelling part of my bedroom for a project soon, so I'll begin posting up my progress as I go along.

Edible Post.

My dear friend Rachel who is studying Graphic Design at Chelsea College of Art is currently doing a project in which she sends her friends items of food, then the reciever returns an item of food. I had a sandwich through the post a few days ago. The sandwich she sent me was cheese, cheesy wotsists and chocolate mints, the idea being that you be creative and original with the sandwich instead of a 'normal' sandwich. This is what it turned out like:

Nicee.

So now it was my turn to return the project. Here's what I made:

 I decided on a Flora, Doritos hot salsa and chocolate spread sandwich...

 Flora and now for the chocolate spread...

 The hot salsa dip...

 A light sprinkling of cheese for good measure.

 TAA DAA! :)

 

There we go! A cheese, hot salsa and chocolate spread sandwich! :)

Now I'm off to Penryn post office to send it back to London... 

Um.. yeah.

Again, back with the shadow project I did earlier. I also drew this of Ville Valo from HIM. The image is taken from the 'Rip out the Wings of a Butterfly' video. I feel out of all three this is my favourite. I really feel this one I captured the essence of the image and I find the shading much more interesting on this one than the others.

This is a project I did based around shapes. I decided to create a character using only shapes. This was inspired by the Curtis Jobling workshop I did at Bradford where he inspired us to use shapes to create characters. I didn't really experiement much with creating character within this piece, it was more of just a practice on using shapes to define a character.

Walkkcyccleee :)

We recently filmed ourselves walking. From there we've had to animate ourselves walking. Here is my 2D version:
