Animation Strategies – Body Mechanics – Portfolio

I don’t consume a lot of ‘clippable’ media to be used in a 8-11 second clip, so I turned to some friends in order to help me narrow downContinue reading Animation Strategies – Body Mechanics – Blog

In this project we were asked to explore the theme of ‘journey’ through a 3D animation. I was placed within a team consisting of four people, Aaron, Rebecca, Niamh, and myself. Once we had been placed we tried to come up with a story to tell. We used multiple tools at our disposal, but ultimatelyContinue reading Animated Narratives – Reflective Blog

The purpose of the groups was to work together to analyse a short film and break down its core components (camera, story, audio, etc.) in a digestible way via presentation. The portion of theContinue reading World of Animation – ‘Winner’ -Reflective Blog
