My Character Fred Astarie

My characters is based off Fred Astaire so my character's outfit will be a top hat cut-away coat with white spats on his shoes. My character will be dancing in the city and then I might have the background change into some sort of meadow of avenue or maybe he'll be dancing in a ball room. I don't know what else to write so I'll just stick with this. These arfe images that I think might help me when I make my final character.

 

 

Motion Graphic

I learn't chromakey & Lumakey using After affects I learn't how to take one image putting it onto another which is called called compositing I did this to make the iamge look realistic.

I had difficulty making the foreground image not transparent and I lost my background.

Stop motion Sketch book work........I like PIZZA!

In this piece of work I had to create five different stop motion animation characters that is based around me and answer some questions about the characters and write about their personalities. I think that this piece of work is very good because it's helped to show me how creative I can be. I think that answering these questions was a good thing because It's helped me to understand the characters and to know their personalities.

This is a story board that I created for one of my five stop motion characters. I look at each of my five characters and thought about which one represents me the most. To create this I thought about what I do in my free time, all I do is play video games or class work, so I created a little story that about me playing video games I liked this story because I believe that this helps to show me through a character that I developed.

This is a Phenakistoscope that I drew in my sketch book the image in my phenakistoscope is a jigsaw piece, the reason that I decided to use this is because it's an object from a video game that I used to play when I was a child. I like this creation because it helps to show what I liked when I was a kid. Next to the phenakistoscope is a storyboard in Muybridge style and expalining whats happening in the phenakistoscope.  







Here I have made two new characters for my stop motion work, but this time I made two out of different media the first one is in a silhouette and the other out of collage. The collage character is made out of different video game characters from games that I've played in the past and ones that I play now.

Tuesday....I like Pizza

In today's lessons with Geoff I had to come up with a fantasy portrait rough drawing and do it in my sketch book, once I've done that I had to search the Internet finding pictures that I like that also relates to the sketch in my book then after I found that picture I need to put myself in the foreground of the picture using Photoshop.   

Recording File details

Friday 5th October

In today's lesson we've been annotating are work by writing the file details that we might use for our ideas in our sketch books.

 We need to think about:

• Proposed file type: .TIFF
• Print resolution: 300 dpi (min) 
• Estimated file size: 1.5 mb 
• Scale/Pixels: 1024x800

You DID NOT HAVE TO DRAG ME INTO THIS!!!!

24th September

In today's lesson I had to draw 4 concept drawings to get an idea of what environment I'm going to have for my video game character and then after that lesson I had to create this by getting images off the internet and adding editing them on Photoshop.

Don't you just hate it when someone points at you?!

Concept ART!!!!!

In todays lesson We looked at a video of the company that created Fallout 3 and had a look at some of the concept art they have done for their characters, then we did a page of concept drawings for our own characters.

In today's lesson I thought that I'd edit the clothing of my video game character and I gave him a leopard print outfit and blue flames coming out of his hand because he's AWESOME LIKE THAT!!! For some reason I decide to give my character a bird companion........Birds are cool.
  

Stop Motion Animation Killed my Puppy!!!!

19/09/12

Today in Gemma's lessons we've been looking at phenakitoscopes and how are brains create the illusion of movement when we spin the phenakitoscope and look at them through a mirror. We looked at some Stop Motion work by Eadweard Muybridge, an English photographer born in Kingston and then moved to the States where he started his photography career. Now we've got to plan to make our own phenakitoscope that's based around our identities and I need to finish my research into Stop Motion Animation.

.............SEVEN ASSESS!!!  

You've opened my eyes to so many possibilities!!!!

Today....SO early in the morning  I took one of the pictures that I drew and had someone take a photo of me in the same pose as the one from the original painting. Then we had to do a birds eye view of the lighting plan in the photography room... CHICKEN WINGS!!!!

Today I continue to use photoshop so that I can create my video game charcter. I decided to take a suit of armour that I found on the internet which is from the computer game World of Warcraft.

Compressing my BRAIN!!!!!

In my first few lessons I've learnt how the different size and format of an image can affect the quality of the image. The most common image file used is a JPEG which stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group The quality of a JPEG image isn't as good as a tif image file because a JPEG image has to be compressed. The reason that tif images have great quality is because they are uncompressed files. With Else we've now started to do the pre-production work and i've created a pre-production table so that I'm prepared for when I start the production.
