Display: My display ideas are all based around making it feel like it belongs in the protagonist’s house. Something that feels old and vaguely fantastical. In line with my films natural themes and a personal commitment to sustainable shopping, most of what I sourced came from charity shops and business local to me. Luckily I…Continue Reading Creative Futures 4- End of Year Show and Digital Strategies
Creative Futures 3- Artbook
Of these three cover concepts below, the first was always my favourite. What’s more it would allow me to re-use my poster and wallpaper asset, saving a lot of time. My final cover shifts the painting to the right so the text will be read first from the left. In addition to my poster font…Continue Reading Creative Futures 3- Artbook
Creative Futures 2- CV and Business Cards
CV: In thinking of my CV design I went back to my first two attempts, from second year and the year after (when I was on a Leave of Absence). My first attempt had a Victorian theme, and while I don’t dislike it I can recognise now that it is overdesigned and hard to skim….Continue Reading Creative Futures 2- CV and Business Cards
Creative Futures 1- Poster design
For a while I tried to use either the record or gold heart locket from my film as framing devices which I also liked, but in following this line of thinking I was unable to land on something I was totally happy with, then since my film has a lot of background work in it…Continue Reading Creative Futures 1- Poster design
Post-Week 1, Semester 2: Final Reflections
Backgrounds: In total I made 33 backgrounds for this film. Having put them together I see issues in how they flow at points, but having never made an animated film by myself before, let alone one with so much work in it, I can’t find it in myself to be disappointed with the final result….Continue Reading Post-Week 1, Semester 2: Final Reflections
Major Project Group Work- Comfort Zone
Since most of my work for this module is focused on my own idea, these posts showing my work for the group will be abridged compared to the full-time members of the group. I contributed to the group as a visdev artist until the weeks preceding the end of semester one. At the start of…Continue Reading Major Project Group Work- Comfort Zone
Progress Presentation- Week 1, Semester 2
Updated Boards and Animatic: In my last presentation I showed an animatic and storyboards in 4:3 exclusively. Since then I applied Alec’s feedback and took the time to expand/re-draw the shots in the present in a wider aspect ratio. I chose 2.35:1 as I felt it had more cinematic potential and would make for a…Continue Reading Progress Presentation- Week 1, Semester 2
Major Project (Solo)- Week 5 Pre-Production Presentation
Story updates and finalisation: Going into week 5’s presentation, I now had a script to work from (after a round of feedback from Alec): I struggled with the ending, but after reflection on the themes of nature and renewal and life and death that I was trying to work within, I thought of having the…Continue Reading Major Project (Solo)- Week 5 Pre-Production Presentation
Major Project (Solo)- Introduction and Week 3 Pitch Presentation
In defiance of personal indecision about whether to join a group or pursue a solo project, I have decided to dedicate circa 10% of my time towards contributing visual development and concept art to a group and keeping the remaining 90% to develop something more personal. The group consists of Caity Kerr, Cloe Malard, Adam…Continue Reading Major Project (Solo)- Introduction and Week 3 Pitch Presentation
