STUDIO   I researched several animators, but deep down I knew what style I wanted anyway. Though sometimes you know exactly what you’re doing and you just want to get on with it, it’s important to explore everything around your particular subject as it may open up a new pathway you didn’t yet consider.  Continue reading “ANIMATION RESEARCH”

STUDIO   Introduction class In my first ever class for Blender we learned the basic fundamentals to Blender. First things first. Blender, like any other 3D software, operates on an X, Y and Z axis, this means we’re working in a 3D environment. The area is measured in 1m increments, so  if you think aboutContinue reading “BLENDER WORKSHOPS”

STUDIO   This was by far the hardest concept I had to come up with this year. I struggled for weeks to find an idea, let alone a language. My initial plan was to find a language that isn’t common, something that is either secretly spoken or very niche. Something that belongs to a smallContinue reading “LANGUAGE RESEARCH”

11/02/2019 – 15/02/2019 STUDIO: WEEK 1   In the first workshop we explored macro, we made our monster BIG, life size even, so in this workshop we scaled our monster down to the size of a finger. It’s quite metaphorical, because in the beginning when we assess our fears, they appear so big, daunting evenContinue reading “MARCO/MACRO/MICRO”

20/05/2019 – 25/05/2019 STUDIO   FINAL TUTORIAL I presented my idea to my tutor and she could understood my idea and commended the accuracy and vision I had for the final outcome. However, my research was weak. To concretize my idea in all its creepy glory, she suggested starting points for my research. In particularContinue reading “FINAL TUTORIAL + CRITIQUE + EXHIBITION”

STUDIO   STEP 1: Get wood. I bought pre-cut sheets from the Wood Veneer Hub. Make sure the wood isn’t too smooth (read STEP 1) and that it’s high quality wood, preferably US or Canadian maple wood, as you don’t want your board snapping after 1 ollie.     STEP 2: Aligning the right layers.Continue reading “I MADE A SKATEBOARD”

06/05/2019 – 10/05/2019 STUDIO     For this brief, we had the option of AR (Augmented Reality) or a 20 second animation. I chose the latter so I could practice my animation skills and explore new techniques I haven’t tried before such as rotoscoping, drawn frame-by-frame and the 3D modelling software Blender. The idea isContinue reading “THE DUCKS”

 11/03/2019 – 15/03/2019 STUDIO: WEEK 5   To better understand typography there is no better place then to walk through city, town or even a village. To observe every sign, poster, sticker, flyer, billboard, magazine cover, brand, menu, tag, etc. You start noticing things you never did before, your looking higher up and closer toContinue reading “WALKING TYPE”

18/02/2019 – 22/02/2019 STUDIO: WEEK 2     To become better artists we need a better understanding of colour and how they work together. Some colours together vibrate differently and their meaning and overall appearance change. During the lesson we stuck colours on the wall and then a grey square in the middle of eachContinue reading “BEAUTIFUL COLOUR”
