I’ve had a fairly good week, I feel happy and on top of things, I’ve got flash and 3dsmax-ish programme at home now so i’ve been playing around in my spare time to try and get better at using them. I feel like this has been one of my favourite projects - not only has it been great working with Matt it’s just helping my confidence as an animator get better. I still have a long way to go haha - this is his animation tests for how the distortion of the argument will work https://www.instagram.com/p/BPYNd_Wluwp/?taken-by=mattarmitageanimation
We had an acting workshop on Tuesday which was quite fun, I’m not sure how useful it was but it helped to get an idea of the characters we’re working with. I thin I enjoyed working with the professional film camera’s the most though!
The animatic below is a rough storyboard i put together last night, we’ve been discussing if a desert is too cliche and maybe considering using something like the Yorkshire Mores since we’re British anyway. I’m not sure you have mirages in the Yorkshire Mores though but we could change our man’s hobby to bird watching or the great outdoors. The split camera angle considering showing our animation through the eyes of a dog to make the camera angles more experimental like this fly animation:

this film actually makes me feel really uncomfortable and like I don’t want to kill a fly again.
Today we did a storytelling workshop working on narratives that we started last week and I was working with Shoiri and Kimmy, yay!
We made a story which was a bit like a cross between Wall-E and 9, they were apocalyptic underground creatures that could grow plants on their heads (Shiori’s idea), I think we read it out really well as a team and I enjoyed collaborating with two other people to write a story as I’ve done creative writing alone for use in comics ect but working with other people is actually really nice, I’ve found this a lot of people complain about the group projects but I find working with more than one person helps each other to bounce off of each other ideas and create things that are really bizarre and unique.
This is Matts drawing of our narrative:
These are the drawing I got from the rest of the group’s story’s:
Peter and Matts story about a composer who got too carried away and brainwashed his actors to become puppets to his piano
Saffron and Sherlocks story about youth trying to escape from some dark terrifying authorities hunting them down:
Saskia and Lydia’s story about a man called Brian and his World of Warcraft obsession and him becoming and actual Mage:
Holly’s story about a man walking for miles because no one liked him and he never liked anyone either:
and Laura and Ahmeds story about people who couldn’t go near sunlight and lives in the darkness and red artificial lights:
And My favourite drawing is on my instagram here of Lorna and Lillie’s Hell rado station:
