Apoligies for the lateness, but here it is...
The whole concept behind my animation is based on choices and life. Our choices determine who we are and who we aspire to be. I attempted to delve into this idea through the use of camera panning and angling to give the notion of motion of vectored paths intertwining with one another.
Someone once said, that the life you lead is dictated by the choices you make. So while we are all united - sometimes our paths cross, overlap, an… Continue

Identity
Concept; Symbolism and Imagery
Inspiration; 50s/60s Sci-Fi films, Modular Prints, Eric Carl, and a much needed change of style.
Tools; Photoshop, After Effects, Final Cut
Reference Images;
The animation is about the identity of us, homo sapiens, human beings. The journey through understanding the origin of life.
The introduction has the footsteps of animals depicting passage, travelling across old book covers. The black text is supposed to represent chaos and confusion whilst the white text portrays the light, that this animation contains the knowledge. The old book cover and texture represents this story has been told many times, how each time it’s told, there’s always something… Continue

Sakura BlossomsVideo link at the bottom
Sakura blossom have always been a very mystical scenery in my mind ever since growing up watching a lot of Japanese animations. Due to the fact that I have never ever been to Japan, and have never seen an entire street of Sakura blossoms, I have always wanted to know what it really feels like when strolling through one.
This animation aims to simulate that sort of experience and reflect upon the traditional symbols of cherry blossoms from… Continue

Me and Lucy are at uni right now.
Lucy has copy pasted her 180mb file, and now I get an error about 'disk space full'
So Neil, please alert ITC that we have no space left.
EDIT: Lucy says files actually 175mb. Continue
Ok, I've noticed people documenting and embedding clips in their final submission, so i thought i might do that too. So here it is again, my final clip:
And just about the documentation, the "process journal"... it's exactly that isn't it? it's progressive thoughts and comments and design decisions throughout the semester, yes? There are i think about 13 blog posts excluding this one, that makes up my documentation. There are also a couple of videos i've uploaded as storyboar… Continue

Introduction
My animation is about a strange and possible ending for the original 'Pied Piper of Hamelin' tale. The original story ends mysteriously, as we don't really know what happened to those kidnapped children. Theories suggest that this story began due to a mass wipe out of children in Hamelin, ages ago. By the way, Hamelin is an actual town in Germany… Continue

Documentation
The idea for a film clip reviewing the Chinese Civil War came about with a discussion with friends concerning the history of the Chinese Communist Party (itself brought about in discussing the then-upcoming Olympic games) I realized that much knowledge of the War possessed by younger generations (myself included) amounted to ‘the Communists won, and that’s why they’re in charge’ while older generations tended not to speak as liberally on the topic… Continue

Its done. huzzah!!
After many a sleepless night under a haze of chocolate and wine it is finished. here is some info:
Idea:
The original idea was to create an identity of the alphabet and it letters. I liked the idea of having a vague visual metaphor for each letter, for example: A for Apple. They should be items that we readily associate but give a little meaning and being to each letter.
I was originally going to have some mad 3d effects involving real life photos and videos, but i decide… Continue

The song i chose for the background music is "Because you loved me"
This is love song and it might not match with my Firends concept.
But I love the meanings and the lycis of this song.
I feel this song is not only for the lovers but also for the people around me as well.
I used the half length of the song and the movie ends up with the lyric
"I'm everything i am
Because you loved me"
I think this phrase is well matched with my concept of identity^-^*
Because You Loved M… Continue
