3rd Year of Uni

Okay, wow. I mean... People have been saying it to me since I started... But third year is really full on!!! I have not even thought about this blog once because I'm pulling 12 hour days at uni 5 days a week and I now have two jobs again because I'm still a waitress at pizza express on the weekend and now a photographer at my students union Friday nights. I've also taken up pole fitness and ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT. I've also got a new (work) partner, Laura, I love her too. I've planned a holiday with my pole society, I'm going to I❤️TOUR with them in March. I have had so many crits since the year started and got a book crit planned for this month and had my first live crit TO A CLIENT and I was so happy with the work we showed!! My brains literally exploding right now, let's just take this one post at a time.....

This is a girl on my University course called Joanna Simpson-Howe, I knew she could sing but this totally blew my socks off. Had to share it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Piceo 3 - Student Union With Carla - 26.02.2015

My third Piceo with some videos in it again. This time the song is #SELFIE by The Chainsmokers and please don’t be mad at me for using it but it was just so ...

The third Piceo in the series so far!

I'm planning on make some more Piceos but so that they are about the song that I choose to play over the top. Not sure how it will go yet but I'm looking forward to trying it out!

Piceo 2 - New York 27.01.2015 - 02.02.2015

My first Piceo was purely experimentation and this one had a bit more purpose, it is a small compilation of some of the things myself and my Advertising clas...

A three and a half minute summary of my trip to New York with my Advertising class where I got to visit 3 agencies a day!

Piceo 1 - Beaconsfield 17.01.2015

A pretty awesome night out in Beaconsfield at Revs with some friends from Uni. Dan Hills, Alex Fraser, Caroline Champion, and her two friends from school - a...

So I went for a night out back in January and I took SO many photos that when I was going through them they accidentally created a stop motion, and from that I decided to do one on purpose when I went to New York and then my flatmate wanted me to do another one with her! 

I have decided to name these strange mixtures of photos, videos and stop motions 'Piceo'! 

Enjoy!

Exhibition

My flat mate is a Fine Art student and a classmate of hers was setting up an exhibition in town that she was part of, I went to help her set up for it about a month ago and somehow ended up having a bunch of my old poetry and some creative writing from when I was about 16 put up on one of the walls. I'm not entirely sure how this happened but I do know that a conversation with another flatmate gave me the confidence to do it, so this is just a little post to say thank you to Carla Hernandez for giving me the confidence to do it and to Caroline Champion and her classmate Jake for asking me to be involved and allowing me to show some of my old work.

D&AD

I've just finished three projects to enter into the D&AD Awards. I've spent about a week on each and we were set them as university projects. I'll upload them all onto here now. It was my first ever go at info graphics and I'm actually quite proud of each one as they've progressed. I've had some feedback on them all but more is always welcome. I do want to make a few changes to them but I'll upload them as they are for now =] x

H Positive

Last year, myself, Joanna, Jordan and Lucie helped Glenn Paton raise money through Kickstarter by campaigning his project on twitter and contacting as many famous people as we could think of to try and get the news about his project shared. We helped him to reach his goal of £20,000 and 10 months later he invited us to his film screening! 

Tuesday, a couple of us went to the Courthouse Hotel in London to see the first ever screening of H Positive and was amazed to see my name in the Thank You's in the credits!! I will be sharing the video on here when it is officially released on Youtube/Vimeo.

It was lovely to finally meet Glenn, and the actor from the film, Roger, was a wonderfully kind person too. I would hope that I get to work with them on something else in the future. It has been an absolute pleasure. =] x

Been a while

So it's been a little while since I've written a post... I've had a lot happen since November...

On top of the usual projects and work etc... I GOT ENGAGED!! 12th December to my gorgeous boyfriend and I've also been to my first wedding show (the biggest in the UK, I was a little overwhelmed =S).

I've also been working on some D&AD projects for my course and trying to sort out a placement for after the Easter Holiday with Uni. I also might be doing a little work with a web design company soon but I'm waiting to hear back from that. 

I've been asked to do some photography work for a family friend and her two gorgeous little twins but we're still in discussion about exactly what she wants and when I will be able to come up north to do it for her. 

I also have TWO jobs now which accounts for most of the reason I've not posted for a while. I work at Menkind and Pizza Express now. I would say that means goodbye to my social life but I didn't really like going out that much in the first place.

The Dead Calm Before The Lotus Exige S Thunder Storm

The latest iteration of the the Lotus Exige S has increased the protein supplement intake further, the previous generations look as though they were practicing Yoga.

My photography from last year has been published again in the dailycarblog.com!! =] Must have been a good shoot haha.

So I've finally got round to writing about 'Inside Rolls Royce' (12.09.14).

It was not at all what I was expecting, there were no cars at the actual event, it was all art based on the cars. I can't think of another word to describe it, other than stunning!

When I arrived at the event I meat Lynnie from MotoringMadams.com and I really hope that I will soon be getting involved with her website. I also met Jodie from the TWC Today Newspaper and she is planning on publishing a couple of her photos in her newspaper soon. I was also lucky enough to get to meet Richard who was head of the show.

When I was heading to the train for the journey home, I tried to help an elderly couple who were being jolted by a crowd of people and when I sat down on the train, a woman told me it was a very respectful act an while I was chatting away to her about my day and the show, the woman next to me interrupted to offer me some work! She works for The Kompass which is an English magazine about Russian Culture, she then put me in touch with a friend who works for Gongmuse and I have been entered into their photographers database. A gentleman from Incognate then gave me his business card and said if he ever needed a photographer he would keep me in mind. All in all a brilliant day! 

Here is the link to the Rolls Royce article on the dailycarblog.com: http://www.dailycarblog.com/2014/11/inside-rolls-royce-a-de-constructed-exhibition-at-the-saatchi-gallery/

After sending my photos to the lady at TWC Today she offered to put me in touch with her sister who is an events organiser and apparently always looking for photographers.

Inside Rolls Royce

Rolls Royce is opening its doors, or rather the large front doors of the Saatchi Gallery in London, as part of a public exhibition.

My latest photography work has been published in the dailycarblog.com again. I will be uploading the photos onto the blog soon but I've spent all day editing them and sending them off and emailing new contacts that I would like to sleep sometime soon haha. I always forget how much work comes after going to these kind of events. Will never stop me going though, I love doing this WAY too much. Including the sitting on numb legs for hours editing. Editing is always fun haha.

Today we had two really great guys from Three Blind Mice come and give us a lesson on storyboarding and character building. Rob Taylor and Mark Otton were really friendly and had some great tips and advice even if they did ramble a bit at the beginning haha. Totally forgiven though cuz through the rambling we got to see some of their brilliant work (including the animatics for the Mr. Bean Snickers ad).

We were set a small brief about creating characters and we had to design some robots which had certain personalities and the personalities that I designed were 'Smart' and 'Clumsy'. I'm quite happy with them seeing as this is the first time I've tried to create my own characters.

Smart has a television screen in his stomach and when it's not in use a series of 0's and 1's run along the screen. He is a very polite and well mannered robot and in his back are a selection of inputs including USB and SD.

Clumsy is a very fat robot because every time he falls over and damages himself, instead of replacing his fragile body, they just wrap more and more metal sheets around him like thick armour, but they only do this when it gets really bad. He is also carrying his arm which recently fell off and that arm is holding one of his wheels which fell off just before his arm did. His neck also got broken when he was young so it sinks into his body at an unfortunate angle. He does have a mouth, but noone knows what it looks like because it's never been seen.
