Animation Pig

I used Auto 3D Max to create creature. I had some guidance from a student which was very helpful. I found creating a creature in 3D max went good it was a learning curve. Aswell using this programme for the first time on me own i kept the design simple.

graffitti designs 4/5




'Organic Girl'
AV Seminar
I found this seminar really useful in the context of getting to alot more about story boarding in more detail. Theres alot of things that you don't think about when organising shots and so on. We had a task set during the seminar to discuss various genres within Western films and when we think of Western films what do think ?. I think that Western Films are stereotyped when you first think of western genres the first thing you think about is the stand offs,close up shots on their eyes, swinging doors the person stands in the door way and it's very atmospheric , sliding the glass across the bar makes that person feel bigger and alot more dominating. The music I find in western films are dominating and give the hole film atmosphere. The dialogue is always slow. Atmosphere is captured by the close-up shots and the stand offs were the goody and baddy mirror each other and pull there guns out. The hats that they wear aswell one person wear one bigger than the other does that mean that one person is more dominating than the other?.

Artist StatementThe streets are where art really lives. I slung dirt at night on the streets. Climbing and hopping fences seeking the perfect spot to scrawl my name. In and out quickly with grace of an ally cat night after night, killing spray paint cans. At each spot I left my name larger then life. This is how I learned how to be an artist, by doing throw- ups and tagging everything I passed. I am a Graffiti Bomber on and off the streets. Graffiti will always be the blood in my exploration with art and living. It keeps things flowing and alive. Graffiti is where I emerged from and where I never left and never will leave. People have asked me why I do not show my graffiti in my shows. This is not the streets. I keep it separated in a way. I could never recreate graffiti onto canvas. It would be lost.
The street pressures don't exist in my constructed environment. But fragments of it always exist in my art. From graffiti I have gravitated towards and educated in photography, typography and Graphic Design. All of these mediums can be seen in my artwork. I feel blest from God art did not become dormant with in me as I make my way through living but has become my way of life. Because essentially we all are beautiful creations of art, we all are critters of art.

We have been asked to find a you tube video that we find interesting analysis of components/ elements are being used within the meaning.focus,colour,composition,movement within the frame,sound,lighting,sequence.


video's from www.youtube.com


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQcUS4chhc4 Tears in the rain by 'Blade Runner'


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE5QKT-nJBA&mode=related&search Addidas Commerical by Spike Jones.


I have chosen this you tube video which is done by the director Spike Jones which I found interesting and i find adverts the most appealing and interesting i would like to get into commericals.
The lighting that was used made the video come together. And the composition of the the person in the bed at the start .


The music that was used in video drew you into the frame and its catchy.

The sequence of the film makes it intriguing the way it flows and each of the images are thought about.

The focus in the film is about the trainers and the hole concept of advertsing the power of advertising.

The Colour its gradual in this film when he walks passed various different parts of the film you see the colour which grabs you into the videos keeps it eye catching. Which i think makes the video interesting.
