I went to life drawing tonight, for the first time since July. The model was a girl whom i'd drawn before and it seems that she has a particular repertoire of poses as I remembered some of these from the previous occasion.
The turn out was rather large during this class as opposed to the usual number, I assume though that this is due to the flood of new students in the area who have recently enrolled. I also enrolled onto year 2 of my course this morning. I'm not sure that I was at my most observant tonight, but I guess practice makes perfect so i'll look forward to the next class.
I'm still getting to grips with the basics of 3D bit-by-bit, and i'm at a stage now where I can build basic models from primitive shapes and also basic terrain from 2D images. I'm hoping that i'll be at a stage further on in the academic year that I will be able to incorporate some 3D work in to my work, this 2nd year is geared towards self-motivated briefs so at least i'll have some flexibility with which to work it in.
This is my first basic model, I even tried a little basic animation just to ease my mind that 3D work isn't as daunting as initially anticipated.
I saw this film last week, it's the kind of film i'd loved to have seen growing up along with other fantasy films like 'Labyrinth', 'Krull' and 'The Thief of Baghdad'. It's about two guys (one caucasian, the other middle-east asian) who grow up together under the same carer; who tells them stories of an old myth about the Djinn Fairy and how she promised to marry the person who freed her from her glass prison.
The boys become rivals from the get go, each claiming to to seek out the Djinn Fairy and free her. What follows is that journey....
This film is another from director Michel Ocelot, whom also made my previously reviewed film 'Kirikou and the Sorceress'. The style is very much the same, however, this film has been created in 3D and the use of bold colours with almost no shadows at all gives it a vectorised look.
I'd say that it probably wasn't a great film worthy of a dozen awards because it looks pretty good and the story is about average, but this is the kind of film that I would want to show my children. What I really love about Ocelot's work is the message that it carries, both this film and the Kirikou film contain an important (and simple to understand) moral message which the storyline ultimately drives towards, and I hope that he continues to make more films like this in the future.
They are French movies dubbed into English so unfortunately there are other works of his which are available only in the native tongue (without subs) and I hope that the various film councils and committees out there will be able to bring those works to us. If any of you have access to the Sky Arts channels (they're free channels so should hopefully be on freeview, etc.) then keep an eye out as both 'Azur and Asmar' and 'Kirikou and the Sorceress' are often listed on rotation.
Today I went to the 'Noise Lab' in Manchester as a magazine group called 'One Five Eight' were holding a workshop on how to produce photograms, initially I thought I was going to be the only one who turned up as I was sat alone for a while composing my first experimental piece, but when I came out of the dark room after producing my first piece a few more people had arrived.
It was quite fun, there was a good mixture of people my age and also children getting involved and when I was talking with one of the team in the dark room she wasn't sure if there would be enough supplies to last the whole day....in other words it was quite a success. Essentially we were all sat around a long table with all sorts of items in bowls at its center, marbles, toys, light bulbs, stationary, buttons, and more random things which we could just grab and compose our pieces with and then one-by-one we took our boards (steadily...trying not to wobble the items on top) into the dark room to develop the photogram.
I have done a little work in a dark room before, when I went to college first time around about 10 years ago we had the chance to take a short course from a given list and Photography was one of them. During my time at high school and also this college I had been refused the opportunity to study anything art related because the curriculum forbid both music and art to be studied together and I was forced to choose one....so I jumped at the chance to do some photography. It was a lot of fun taking photos and then developing our negatives into actual prints in a dark room. Today's workshop reminded me of this.....
As we each put together our pieces we had to wait until the person currently in the dark room had finished before we could then do our own again, I had put together another wreckless piece whilst waiting for my turn again but because the wait was so long I decided to wipe the board clean and create something properly. At that moment when I was looking for things to use I spotted a toy lion and an image from a video game sprung to mind, so I decided to make a piece relative to that. I quite like how it turned out.
I told myself a few months back that i'd try to get to grips with at least a few basic 3D elements over the summer, with the aim of having an extra source of creativity when I start the new academic year.
Well...i'm ever so slowly getting the hang of the it, this has been some of my dabbling today.
EDIT: Ah...I see that Blogger's "Add Video" option uploads via YouTube, hence the quality is pretty shoddy. There are stars in the latter shots.
Today i've been creating some designs for the SHIFT calendar competition, it's been a few years since I last submitted any entries but this year i'm on it.
I'm just wondering though which of these to submit, i'm not sure, I asked my brother earlier on and he prefered the coloured background. Any other opinions?
Finally got around to seeing it, I had to go on my own in the end as no one wanted to and watch it with me. I knew i’d like it because i’ve always believed there is more to the mind than we understand (ie. dreams, dejavu, etc.) so the concept was right up my street. It’s a really good film, but not fantastic.
It wasn't a mind job like everyone has been saying….you just need to be able to follow what is going on. A few of Nolan's regulars were in there from his previous Batman outings, although I found it interesting that he brought in Joseph Gordon-Levitt for this film, because even though he was great in his role I somehow felt that this decision was a prerequisite for Nolan to cast him in a future movie. When you consider that Gordon-Levitt carries an almost remarkable resemblence to the late Heath Ledger, it begs the question of whether Nolan has already thought of how to replace the oscar winning portrayal of 'The Joker' in his next Batman film.
Leonardo Dicaprio was also brilliant in the film, coupled with his performance in 'The Aviator' he is well on the way to becoming one of my favourite actors. Ellen page also played her part well but I felt that her introduction into the film was rushed and it was fairly obvious that her role in the movie was written as a means to explain the main premise of the film.
I just found this poster for the film, whilst I can understand why they used the posters they did I think that this one really nails the concept. This is exactly what I had in mind when I was watching it.
Just finished compiling a DVD screener and press kit for my submission to the Bradford Animation Festival, they have a 'Short, Shorts' category for pieces under 3 minutes in length so I thought i'd submit my infographic. It's free to submit so I thought i'd just try my chances.....you can't win a race if you're not in it afterall.
I suppose one thing that may help my cause is that the museum where it is held (Bradford Media Museum) has got a retro video games exhbition on until the end of the year, and most of the games that are referenced in my animation will actually be playable in the foyer.
If anything, doing this has at least helped me to better under the submission process....and getting stuff played on a cinema screen. My class will probably be going to the festival later on this year when we start back so it'd be pretty amazing if we got to see my piece in a cinema, i'm not holding my breath though....gotta be realistic.
Tested it in my DVD player....it works fine! ....it's now in the post.
There was a remix contest going a while ago for the 'Scroobius Pip vs Dan Le Sac' track Great Britain, never one to shy away from having a go I started one....but because of the things I had going on then and the amount of time I had to russle up a remix I didn't manage to meet the deadline.
I was only really doing this for fun because I found it quite amusing at the time, but my interest in completing the track has since fizzled out. Creative Commons used to do some great remix contests a few years ago and I still have the tracks I did for those, but they don't seem to put many on thesedays....which is a shame as I really enjoyed it.
Anyhoos, I just recorded the chorus part of where i'd got to with my remix for the sake of having at this something of this to put in my music archives.
There's nothing that I hate more than a remix or cover of a song that sounds exactly the same as the original, that's why whenever I do these contests I just download the samples and start from scratch without having even heard the original song. I don't think that many people would like most of the remixes i've done in the past, because they're not great. But they ARE different.
I decided to polish up some of the issues with my infographic piece from earlier on in the year, these were as follows:
Gaping hole between road and pavement following the transition from previous scene.
Mario curtain ('video games can be healthy') entering too earlier - causing confusion.
Asteroids too static, explosions too subtle.
Pong SFX timed with animation clashes with music tempo.
I've sorted all these things out as well as adjusted the volume of some of the SFX which I felt were perhaps a little too overpowering. The one issue that remains unchanged is the animated polevault, i'm happy to leave it as it is but in the future I will definately take a different approach to doing things in this way as it didn't feel right at the time either.....at the time it was a case of producing something that worked.
Let me know what you think. Also I now have a profile on Behance where there are some ideas gen scribbles for this on there, take a look!
So last night I checked out this Chat Roulette thing which everyone was talking about a while ago, first and foremost I wouldn't advise anyone trying it out in a public place....it most definately is NOT 'safe for work'! In case you don't know what it is, it's basically a website that automatically pairs you (and your webcam) with another person in the world, but it seems that most people using it appear to be looking for quick (adult) thrills as I found that about 6 out of every 10 channel changes were of males doing various dirty things with certain parts of their body, and I in fact only came across one person who was actually looking to chat to someone.
But the reason I went on was because of the random humour aspect which made it popular, I quite like this one:
So anyhoos....after just having a look for a bit, I just drew a face on a piece of paper and held that up in front of my webcam....and surprisingly I got quite a number of people amused as they tried to imitate the face.
So I started taking some snaps! ....it was actually quite fun.
I've always believed that there is something more to dreams than we understand, i've often considered possible options such as previous life experiences or visions that link us to seperate/alternative dimensions including the posibility of life after death. I also believe that there is more to deja vu than we know as i've experienced a number of events in recent years which I am positive of having happened previously. I'm interested to see what ideas this film has to bring to the table....
But most of all it is the initial trailer that first caught my attention a few months back, there is a scene in which the landscape bends up and over upons itself....this is very similar imagery to a recurring dream that I have been having since I was younger in which a cataclismic earthquake shifts the tectonic plates causing the earth to collapse. This may seem silly to you, but that's my mind, and i'm going to see this movie. Whose with me?!
Last night I went to see 'Bodyguards and Assassins' at the Cornerhouse in Manchester, it was a one of screening hosted by the 'Chinese Film Forum' who try to promote Hong Kong movies here which would otherwise go unnoticed. The film is a a multi-award winning feature from 2009 which swept the board at the Hong Kong Film Awards including Best Film and Best Director.
The main premise of the film is centered around the factual event of Dr Sun Yat-Sen paying a visit to Hong Kong to discuss plans for a revolution against the corrupt Manchu reign in the early part of the 20th century, the Manchus try to prevent this from happening by attempting to assassinate Dr Sun whilst those loyal to the uprising try to protect him in his pursuit. The result is an incredible build up of suspense throughout the film leading up to the day of the doctor's arrival, followed by an explosive clash between the two opposing forces.
I remember thinking at the time that it reminded me of 'In the Line of Fire' in the way that the film plays out. Although Clint Eastwood did not appear in the movie i'm afraid to say.
Whilst it is a serious film with a history lesson at it's core, it is not without it's moments of comedy. One character, named 'The Green Giant', was very tall and me and my friend Jim were wondering if he was a basketball player....any doubts that I had about this were well and truely quashed when later on in the film he began to slam-dunk watermelons onto the bad guys heads. It was also good to see John Shum back on the screen in a more serious role, albeit with slightly less hair than during his Pom-Pom days.
Another surprise was seeing Simon Yam play another role that did not fit his usual typecast characters, it seems that as he gets older the desire to branch out is upon him. And this is also clearly reinforced by his win of the Best Actor award this year for a seperate movie in which he played a distressed shoe-maker. As ever Donnie Yen pulled off a great performance in both action and drama plus it took me a while to spot an ageing Leon Lai who donned a powerful iron fan, a weapon that i've always been fond of. I doubt that Eric Tsang's voice will ever break though, playing the chief of police his high-pitched voice came across as more humerous than authoritive....which I suppose does suit him perfectly!
One of the best performances in the movie for me was the character played by the newcomer Li YuChun, who unfortunately missed out on the award for Best Supporting Actress, throughout the film I was totally convinced by the character's passion.
The music was one of the stars of the show I felt, as at certain points throughout the film I kept thinking to myself 'this is great'. It was also slightly different in it's approach than other films similar to this, and of course it picked up the Best Score award for this. It goes without saying that the fight choreography was good, although not outstanding I felt, but when you consider that Stephen Tung won the Hong Kong film award for this and then look at the other nominees (Corey Yuen Kwai and Chin Kar-Lok) you know that it must've been good.
Overall I thought that this movie was great and it's suspense was the winning formula, I loved the way that they executed the elements of action, drama and comedy and equal parts whilst also putting across an important history lesson. I got some fight scenes, had a few laughs, and also learned something in the process.....a film deserving of it's outstanding achievement.
So i'm a little frustrated with the design at the moment, initially due to colour issues but mainly now concerning the composition as it still seems so empty.
This is how I intend the design to look, but as you can see the black area which blends Sammo's suit into the canvas clashes with Jackie's pants. I did try gradients, one of which can be seen in the previous image that I posted....but I felt it wasn't working. Lola's hair is also an issue, temporarily cut it into strands to seperate it from the rest of the image.
So then I experimented with the thought of putting a slight border around the edge of everything inside so that there wouldn't be any clashing of colours, but I feel that the border takes the heart out of the collage so I think i'll ultimately be removing this.
And recently i've now been jotting down some ideas on seperate layers for filling the gaping voids, as you can see i've been thinking about including some of the additional characters and also some subtle imagery. But at this point i'm still thinking about how best to go about this.
This evening I went to my first life-drawing class since before Christmas, it wasn't the usual teacher and seemed to be a group of university students getting some mentoring practice in. I haven't done any sketching for a while so I wasn't very impressed with my efforts, looking forward to going more regularly again though.
I've almost finished the 'Wheels on Meals' t-shirt design and i'm ready to do the final colouring, although today I haven't really worked on it as I got a message from Kitty asking if I could help out mixing some music. I've not done any mixing for about a year since the last time was when I put a DJ set together for the NanimeW (North-West anime group) night in Manchester on my birthday....so it was good to do a bit again.
I've always believed that the imagery, music and stories that you're subjected to in your early years are an major part of what goes into making up personality, and being a film fan since an early age i've always considered those things to be the original source that ignited my imagination and creativity.
I often like to think back and remember some of the things that I found exciting, inspiring or magical at the time and revisit them to see how I feel about them now. I might do a few posts relating to this on different themes, but my main reason for this post was that I have recently been reminiscing about the old Hanna/ Barbera and Warner Bros. cartoons that I used to watch as a kid and I wanted to narrow down some of my favourites. Unfortunately they don't seem to show a great deal of the old classics thesedays which I think is a shame because the kids watching cartoons now will be missing out on some of the earliest and greatest animations.....then again, this may just be me being an old geezer.
Anyhoos, in the pursuit of trying to think which was my favourite cartoon I remembered numerous shorts of Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Popeye, the Donald Duck WWII propaganda cartoons and others. I also recall a favourite which featured a futuristic house with buttons everywhere to activate things....i'm sure Elmer Fudd or Sylvester was in it....
....But....
There are two cartoons in particular which have always remained with me, and I managed to find both on YouTube. I'm not surprised watching them again why I loved them so much, it makes perfect sense.
The first is a Popeye short called 'Big Bad Sinbad' from 1957, and as the title suggests it is themed around Sinbad the Sailor. I realise seeing it now why I liked it so much, i've always loved the old arabian Sinbad movies (,'Thief of Baghdad', etc.) and the cartoon captures the mood (in particular the music) perfectly.
The second is quite possibly my favourite cartoon of all time, it is a Tom & Jerry short from 1945 called 'Mouse in Manhattan' and in fact doesn't feature Tom hardly at all. Watching it again now I feel just as inspired and enchanted as I did all those years ago, and I realise that one of the reasons I love this cartoon so much is because i've always liked the look of New York in the 50s....the styles and sounds relating to films such as 'On the Town', 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Once scene in particular, the broken candlestick and the dancing with dolls, is one that will always stay with me.
Well, i'm another year older....and a little bit more...errr...wiser. Since my last birthday I have discovered things that I didn't before realise that I was good at and since September the time has just flown by with constant projects.
This was the card my big bro gave me. I don't think there's anything that hasn't photoshopped featured a cat....so bizarre! ....but funny.
I think that this is perhaps crossing a line slightly.....but it still light-hearted. Look at their faces....they're like, 'what's going on?'.
About a year or two ago I started doing a few designs for shirts relating to some of my favourite movies, whenever I go websites that offer film-related shirts it's always the same movies.....'Ghostbuters', 'The Karate Kid', 'Batman', 'The Goonies', etc.....this isn't a bad thing because I love all of these movies. But you rarely see designs for the less widely known cult hits....and never any for Hong Kong cinema, which i'm a fan of. So I decided to make my own.
I did a few subtle designs referencing the films 'The Running Man' and 'Escape from New York' that only big fans of those movies would recognise, but since then it's been on the back-burner. Until now. I'm going to do some more better quality designs over the summer and today I just started the first one, it's going to be a collage of scenes from one of my all-time favourites 'Wheels on Meals'.....which i'm a huge fan of.
I'm liking the way it's looking so far, the aim is to have a parallel setting down the shirt so that everything fits together neatly. What d'you reckon?
....i'm toying with the idea of putting the main cast list on the side of the van in the red title colour, but i'll wait until i've finished everything else before deciding this.
Yesterday evening as I was editing some new songs and composing some random themes on my synthesizer, I discovered a new key formation which sounds great. I can't say for sure what the official terminology of this would be as theory was never my strongest point but I would say that it was some kind of variation of inverted 7ths....regardless of what the aficionado's would call it, i'm looking forward to experimenting with this further to create some wonderful new music to makes hearts flutter.
This has come at a good moment actually as i've recently been on a slight downwards incline with regards to my music, every so often I try searching for other producers/singers/lyricists (not always local) who are interested in making the same kind of music that I like because i'd really like to get some kind of collaboration or group going. But whenever I do go looking for these people I end up finding nobody with the same style or enthusiasm and it does bring me down slightly, i've been on the look out for like-minded lyricists to collaborate with for years because even though I do have a bash every now and then it really isn't my thing.
I suppose that one major problem about this is that the kind of style that I want to create doesn't really see the light of day here in England so it's quite a niche genre. The style is known as 'Shibuya-kei'....or simply 'Shibuya Style'....the sound of Shibuya, Japan. Ultimately it's just a name and i've often liked to think of it as 'Pizzicato Pop', it's an uplifting kinda style which I would say is a mixture between pop, jazz (,indie) and dance with slight variations. My own personal element has always been a touch of the accordion and to have these two blend together would really make me happy. The closest thing outside of Shibuya-kei i've ever heard to something like this was on the song 'The Life of Riley' by The Lightning Seeds.
I first discovered the Shibuya-kei style at the turn of the Millenium when I found Pizzicato Five, one of the pioneers of the genre, the producer Yasutaka Nakata is currently dominating the style thesedays with his numerous groups and songs he writes for other artists (such as Capsule, Perfume, Coltemonikha, MEG, etc.), he's become a big influence for me in recent years. I sometimes try to replicate the mood of some of his work and usually end up failing completely, but I know that I should just be confident in my own unique style and hope that I will find those like-minded creatives one day....maybe....
Here's my first attempt at clay modelling, I was just messing around really and not making anything in particular. Having said that i'm pretty pleased with the general head shape that I got and I feel quite confident that I could do something pretty creative on a future project if I put my mind to it.
Thought I might aswell just record a little something with it before I pound it into a clump of clay again, I messed around with the colours a bit which is why it looks a bit odd.
Those of you who follow my random amusements on facebrick or twatter might have noticed that I was ever so slightly crapping myself about my interview yesterday regarding some work experience. It went alright....I didn't crap myself.
It's a studio in one of the old 'Cottonopolis' renovated mills in Ancoats going by the name of 'Studio Distract', they seem to focus mostly on 3D animated projects but claim not to specialise in any one medium and they also do film production and interactive work. When I arrived the team were sat together on a sofa watching TV and the studio owner pulled up a bean bag for me to sit on, in fact they were actually in a production meeting watching back their footage to date (a 3D animation for kids) and he asked if I could just wait and watch until they had finished. It was a good 30-40 minutes that I was sat there but the experience of observing this process was good to see, they were playing through the sequence shot-by-shot and picking out elements that needed to be reworked or tweaked....right down to the very finest of details. It was just like the presentation days really....
Once they'd finished this and made a list of things that needed to be done, the various tasks were distributed amongst the team members and then they were off. At which point I had my meeting with the owner, we basically talked about where i'm at and he decided that instead of just spending a week in the studio shadowing people on their current project it would be better for me to be on-call as I explained that i'll be free for most of the time until the 2nd year begins. So what they're going to do is let me know when there is something specific happening on particular days (such as video production, motion capture, animating, etc.) so that I can come in and get involved.....this way I can get a more varied experience into the different areas. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the process of motion capturing as this is something i've been trying to find out about recently with little luck, he was telling me about this new kind of sensory suit they use which means that you don't have to mess around with those blobs on all the joints.
I had picked up all my work from college before heading to the studio so he noticed the big folder that I was carrying and asked me if I wanted him to have a look at some stuff, I just showed him one of my work books and some mood boards telling him the process in which we've been working and I asked a few questions in relation to it to see how they as professionals do things....this was pretty interesting and he gave me some pointers which made a lot of sense to me.
So it went pretty well initially and i'm looking forward to getting involved.
Not so sure if i'll be much use with any of the 3D aspects although I think they use After Effects to animate so that could be interesting as i'm quite confident with this now. I am at the moment trying to learn the very basics of 3D though so it could be worthwhile seeing some of the process in action....hopefully if I can get my head around the basics then I may incorporate this into my 2nd year work....where appropriate.
I've been having a little shufty around the video games courses offered by MMU and Salford University over the last few days, and i'm a bit concerned at this stage to be honest. I've e-mailed the course leader of the MMU course to ask for some general advice and offered a little bit of information regarding my situation that he might be able to comment on, the concern is regarding a top-up year.
Based on the information provided on both university's websites, it seems that whilst the first year of the 3 year course covers the general principles of design they also teach a basic grounding in programming. So i'm assuming that they wouldn't accept any foundation students bypassing this and going straight onto the 2nd year.....but i'm not sure which is why i've enquired about it.
I've been looking at some profiles of people on LinkedIn who work in games though and quite a few seem to have come through via other pathways, so it's still all out in the open.
The main concern is that the media courses seem to be focused more towards television broadcasting....a bit too detached from where i'm wanting to be.
Recently I setup a facebook group for Kung Fu film fans in my area of Greater Manchester, it's something that i've been planning on doing for a few years now. The aim is to get a proper group website organised but I am using facebook to rally numbers initially, if it takes off and quite a number of people join then i'm hoping that people will be encouraged to start up screenings and events. But at the moment the numbers aren't growing and no one is passing on the word.
It is quite de-motivating when you don't see the numbers change at all, and also when fans who do join the group don't tell others about....i've started putting up adverts for it on places like Gumtree and i'm going to hit some of the martial arts film forums and plug it there also. Hopefully that will generate some numbers for it.
However, my brother showed me this video earlier on of why I should persist with it even if the numbers don't grow for a while.....because they will grow eventually.
Watch it, it's quite amazing how the trend catches on after the third person joins in.
I watched this docu-film yesterday called 'Manufactured Landscapes', it was basically a display of the work by a photographer called Edward Burtynsky who captures scenes affected by technology. Mainly in China.
It's quite an interesting to watch if you get the chance, but if you can't be bothered then i'll just post the intro to the film which is what I found amazing. It's just one continuous shot from one end of a factory to the other showing people working, but it goes on forever....it's like that factory from Indiana Jones which goes on for miles.
I wonder how long it'd take to get to know everyone working here?!
....I realise now why everything has 'Made in China' written on it. WOW.
I just looked this up and it turns out it won a few awards, if you have access to the SKY Arts channel then it's currently doing the rounds on there....so have a ganders.
Well....on friday you should've seen mine and my fellow student; Kitty's gutted faces when we found out that the deadline for the competition was at midday and not midnight as I could have sworn (in fact...I did swear) that i'd seen when I read the brief...twice!
So as you've probably gathered I missed the deadline, I would easily have been on track to submit for midnight but it turns out that when I got home the internet connection was down so I wouldn't have been able to submit it anyhoos.
Even though I didn't get to submit it, this quick project was fun and it has been a bit of stepping stone as it made me test my time planning skills. It's been a confidence booster.
After my infographics presentation on Thursday I made my video public on my vimeo account, I couldn't believe it when I logged on today to find that it has already recieved over 3,500 views! ....bonkers!
Just a heads up for anyone who is still interested in this thing, the deadline is midnight (or rather, a second before midnight....pedantic bleeder!) this Friday so if you're submitting something then you'd better get that zimmer cracking!
I tied up all my loose ends for certain other project last night at 3am so I only read the Doritos brief for the first time this morning, I really wish I would've done something proper for this a while ago because a few of us were viewing some of this years entries earlier on and there aren't actually all that many which really stand out. I'm still viewing the latest entries at the moment in their different categories but so far it seems that the vast majority of submissions haven't even bothered the read the brief....which is a bit of a shame considering that 30% of the marks come from sticking to the brief.
Kitty pointed this one out to me and I think all of us were agreed that this is the best one that we've seen so far, it's very creative and but i'm still not sure that it stuck to the brief. There must be some absolute crackers out there surely?
It also appears that a lot of people are going down the amateur video shoot feel in their living rooms to mimic the 2008 winning entry. Poor show old bean, poor show.
I'm going to try and produce something for it depending on how the week goes, I did some research today and also took into account the celebrity judges panel and what I think they might be looking for individually. I have one or two ideas so I will try to rack my brain and get one of those into order tomorrow, a 29 second storyboard shouldn't take too long.....which would leave me Thursday and Friday. Will I do it? .....hmmmm.
A little pre-presentation teaser for you. This is a box I made for my infographics brief, it's styled on the old 80s Atari game boxes to catch the eye of those who remember them.
Essentially the same imagery as my presentation board but displayed in a different way, allowing for a choice within different environments. And also introducing an interactive element for people to browse the product at their will.
