character on build up




Modelling one of my characters which is a bull dog the characteristic of this dog is that he is a placid kind of dog not much makes him move or do anything.But if he sees his 'owner'he changes and has loads of energy and motivated.

truth knowledge or construction.

All of the lines come to a perspective into space e.g. for example when looking at a painting there is a vanising point where everything comes into the middle and alot gets read from that point. The western perspective is most important. Media transformations in western culture are driven by a desire of realism. New media are introduced and welcomed for their capacity of giving a less "artificial" representation than on the other hand, each new medium is expected to be more realistic than previous ones. The ultimate goal of representation is to be real.

I have drawn this sketch on the back of brown paper bag and I have used fineliner and colour pens to make the sketch come out of the paper and look more realistic.To make the sketch alot more appealing to a wider audience and can be part of an animation. It's a simple character and easy to draw up in Auto 3D Max.

'why do you insist in not talking to me?' I have chosen these words to be placed next to her because it links it with my like and interest of graffiti and the whole movement within a sketch that can have alot of movement and animation easy and accessable. And the picture will be animated but keeping it simple and effective.

hierarchies and walking week 30


Been working on a character to make him walk around box but in his own way around the box. Make the frames 8 frames per second and ocne youve done that put it at 16 frames per secound.Work on the walk cycle and add dummys(keep the dummy to the point of the box so the toes can work from that).which help you see where you first started and copy them along each so that the frames are the same amount apart. Then place a box along the body gives you an outline of how the body moves.
(saved in the folder new P then movies).The walk cycle should start and end the same if working by 8 frames by the 4th it sould be cross over.

recent work



This sketch that I have produced is working in process it still looks horrible in the possitioning and the colours arent right for what I wont this image to have effect. This colouration in this piece of work is meant to represent the confident side of me and the darker colours represent my everyday living.

inspirations

Recently been looking at graffiti artists that wil help me be inspired and see who, what, where the typical artist uses there techniques.
Books
Graffiti Brasil : this book is wickid the images are eye catching and really unusual

More depths to my characterised animation continuing with his music blasting out. Rather than having a french woman and this young man. I have chosen to put him with a dog this dog changes his personality. The first scene will be him walking through the door you can hear the dog barking really loud. The boy makes the dog his first priority and you can tell that the dog changes his emotions he seem so happy the boys personality is shone through the dog. He consoles to this dog he doesnt have any time for anyone else. You hear a shout from his parents saying
dinner is ready son come and eat it before it gets cold.
he completely ignores his parents and jus carrys on playing with his dog. All of a sudden the dog runs up his back and ends up on his shoulders. So the dog becomes centre of attention.

pdp Reflection

When I first started multimedia in 2006 I created a photographic images called the car crashes. At that point the detail and the thought process had great detail involved. But thinking about it now should of made it alot more realistic I have had a few opipoins about my photographs and they said it looks either unrealistic or looks like its just been stuck there like a sticker. I would like to develop on them I am working on taking photographs again keeping up my photographic interests up. Rather than doing car crashes again im going to do something with either landscapes with a twist or portraits.

I am still trying to figure out my style that makes me me. I would like to mix photography, installations and animations. These are my main interests throughout my career. The media I have chosen is a very hard media until you have found your key into it, either knowing someone or just having the flare and knowledge that makes employers wont you. If I can mix all of my interests together and find my style that will keep my creative flare for employers to employ me.
Once I get my website up and running and designed hopefully when I try and get my career started it will go far.

Finialised idea for teaser trailer

I have decided to do a boy and a dog.
The relationship between the dog and his parent are completely different from each other. When hes with his parents hes an angry and moddy person and when he sees his dog he becomes a loving and caring person. The dog has certain tricks when he first sees you he will run up your back and end up on your shoulders and just sits there like a parrot. I think I will just keep him doing that for awhile.

The dogs mentality:-
nutty
very noisy
attention seeking dog

the boys mentality:-
angry
noisy
keeps himself to himself

the contrast between these two characters is that one loves and lives on attention the other one hates attention but gets attention through being angry at the world.
