Plan for the week!

This week/easter I will get finished the channel 4 seven and channel 4 ident done and dusted so that the remainder of the work to be done is the final animation.

The channel 4 ill include images of the shows that have been previewed on Channel 4 Seven, the channel 4 will be a back drop of newcastle/Middlesbrough and have moving segments.


As a preview, here is something i've been working on for the past few days.
no where near finished but just a random making I have done.

New Improved teleport

Well Its better! in my eyes anyway, using different footage and better timing, this one is better.
hope you all like

teleport with sound

For starters I do apologise for the quality. but since I will be using After Effects sooner rather than later, I thought why not do some tutorials, and well this one caught my eye, TELEPORTATION. ohh yess a must do.
Its not bad for a first attempt but it could be so much better, shame I recored it on my phone.

For some reason I couldnt link it from my Youtube so heres the link!

Update

Soooo last time I posted I was on about my time plan and work based learning, now that I have done a work based learning project and now i've got another project in line, Im just going to try and finish my subway story!
well I hope to anyway!

But here is something I've been working on for a few days, a small idea from friends, working it into my own interpretation.  Well when i say i was working on it, I got the idea from a friend!

Oh and I almost forgot to add, since I was told to try and improve my organic makings, im moving onto making a ferret, since I was watching the legend of korra, The fire Ferret (http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2012/160/8/6/pabu___avatar_by_makalucario-d52vkex.png)

which is similar to the red panda, but it is very cute...

so back to my making thing, ive decided to make one! here is it so far!

Intro Time!

Since Im figuring out what I want to do for Work Based Learning, my plan says that I need to figure out when, what and why! so instead im making a intro, one better than my others in my mind anyway, just need to finish it off with colours and with loads of new stuff im learning on after effects.

Using lighting as the blur on the outer, and a few vibrate tags as a motion, giving i more of a clock work feel. the cloud shape in the middle grows and fades, but that may change in further productions.

spitfire update

Since i've been doing this plane thing to pass time its now become a full side project! just to get me some more experience!

Imagine more colour, more realistic and better plane dynamics!
Since im going to make it about 30 second long, im thinking of putting more than a few planes in have a small fight scene and a mountain range... just as a pass the time big me up type thing! might take a while since im rendering on my poor little mac but who knows.... could be fun!

I have to!

I have to make some thing similar to this! pac man in 3D why didn't I think of this? wonder if I can make another game 3D time to think in depth!

plane add on

Well I wanted to do something different with my Plane models, so using one of my old designs of a spitfire like plane, placing it on a aircraft carrier in the Arctic, placing mountains in the background, a runway on the ship, and multiple camera for all direct use!
soon to render!
heres what it looks like so far

9 Week Plan

Week 1 – Work Based Learning – Luke Hobson, finish off the animation 

Week 2 – Work Based Learning  - Greyscalegorrila 5 second animation

Week 3 – Main Project, subway, get further in the storyboard

Week 4 – Main Project, subway, get further in the storyboard

Easter - continue with work - Work Based Learning – Future Lions

Week 5 – Finish off work - Main Project

Week 6 - Finish off work- WBL

Week 7 – Finish off work!

This is just a brief outline of what I'm going to be doing over the next few weeks!

The star of the week I will plan out the animation, and by the end I should have a finished piece.

stealth fighter 3D model

Well after a night of rendering and boredom strikes, looking at MacMave on youtube, his video inspired me at the start.
here is my version with intense music over the top, if you dont like it. Critique!
Tell me what you would prefer :)
hope you enjoy

Sidetracked

Once again I got side tracked! I saw a video on youtube of a dogfight (planes) and I thought... i've got models of planes, so why not, just rendering off now as I type this! its going to have sound and a few overlays from After Effects. Using a preset of a cloud layer from Idigital studios, freebie image!
but so far, this is what it look lik in cinema 4d

Powers low, will he work!

Well for now this is just a trial, but the robot thing is going well, using textures to get things to since is so fun!

He is just about to wake up and his power is short, what will he do!

Work for people!

Well since hand in, Ive been stress free! hahahaha oh hell no I haven't. interview today, not a bad day got through it unharmed so I cant complain!

Anyway back to 3D been doing work with liam on my course. A robot character, hes a little guy who hasn't been finished, the factory he was built in was shut down half way through his production so he never got finished, the factory is now abandoned! he is all alone and he wants to escape, he has enough power for one try!  Who knows this could be a future project!

SWOT

Strengths
3D Making - Planning out the future project - Doodling ideas(getting better) - inspirational work/from others

Weaknesses
Drawing (certain things) - completion on render/actual work - distractions

Opportunities
Competitions - other students work

Threats
Other students in the field - better animators - lack of work - Distractions

HAND IN!!!

YESSS hand in day approaches, the da everyone dreads, this time I think I have got enough to get a high mark, worst thing is, I haven't got hardly any of my animation finished  even though I wanted to get more than I should have finished!

I've only got 2 scenes out of 7 finished, and when I say finished, done but with huge regret on my behalf!

All that is finished to do now is evaluate and hand in I think anyway. Todo List thank you once again.

SCENE 1

This is the first render with sound of Scene, not as good as I wanted but it took 32 hours to render and almost 2 days to add sound, so for now this will do!

So far....

Hand in week and for this project I am No where I want to be, Ive got the first and second scene finished just the 3rd scene needs to be finished and then rendered off, I have scene 1 in sound and rendered off from Final Cut.
Since I needed sound I went for a trip out, collecting sounds from the metro station at newcastle, and since that didn't work, I just went to the street next to a metro line and recorded a metro driving
past. worked well on the occasion....for once.

Mid way through writing the essay, collecting more points and actual facts just to back up my work, harder than expected I must say, but thats what work is!

The character animation could have been so much better but due tot he time I have left...(1week) I just had to animate the face, nothing much else.

But the animation looks quite good for the amount of time it took to make, a lot of tweaks to make it seem the way I want but thats like every animator, never perfect.

I will upload a video of the first scene ASAP, just to show you all what it looks like so far!

Live Brief Final File!

Well since I finished the live brief  all thats left is the writing up.. kinda anyway, I might do another live brief and continue getting more work experience!

This is the final work file that I have given to the client! rendered off at 1920-1080 so good enough for TV.

Update!

Well the live brief went well, I'm giving the final piece on monday!


And back to the massive project!!!!! kill me now, i'd like to say, its been great but damn. Ive got to the 4th scene, but still have not rendered off a final file... which i really need to do before end of next week, just so I have the right sounds and everything! wow its cutting it close.
also I found out today I have a essay that needs to bee in soon. wow I am going to have to buckle down major like when I was off during the summer and xmas!
but yeah back to the major project.
Scene 1 - the train station and ticket sequence, all complete just need to render.
Scene 2 - the tubing, camera work needs to be sorted and corrected but almost there.
Scene 3 - The grinder that was weirdly a success which I honestly didn't have much faith in but then again I never listen to my self!
Scene 3.5 - the secondary camera works fine the motion is a little off but that is working so far
Scene 4 - another short of Tubing, camera still needs work but almsot there and then coming out the top of a fountain.
scene 5 - Coming out of the fountain... Meeting the character, since im a little short of time, im only having him sitting in his rocking chair sleeping, and then waking up slightly to say hi to the camera! and of course with his little pet ladybirds! camera and actions still need work but almost there!
Scene 6 - well I haven't even started that! so Ill keep you informed on how that will go later


Thanks for reading my rant

so heres a picture of my random tracer ident

Live brief

Well on tuesday I was given a live brief by a media student, who would like me to do a small finishing piece for his work.
His production companies name with some nice things to make them stand out!
so having a chat with him and I am sorted, well when I say that, it takes time to make it and render it!
but so far I have 4 trials to show him and each one has a nice kick to it!
here are some print screens.
They all look similar since I have been told to use a certain font and just have a go with it, using xplode plugins and fx tools just to give it that reversed explosion look and a lens flare on cinema 4d to give it that final bit!
