Miro: First Ideas Update

Another piece of concept art. This one I based upon a fence and a pathway. As well as either a dog or dogs I also can't shake the image of a 'farm yard'. I will try to get a short animatic up at some point as at this stage I feel it'll help more than more 2D pieces.

Miro: First Ideas

After listening to the music of my choice, I can't help but keep seeing dogs. Perhaps it's the barking sound which comes partially halfway through. So going with this lead I took a photo of a dog form the side and traced round it, using basic shapes. 

 I then randomized these shapes even further to make them more in line with how Miro paints.

Music Direction

After looking through Vimeo for music which I can use for free, I've fond a track. It's live and bouncy which I think will fit the style of the animation but will also help influence how things will move etc.

Coming Soon

Above is an influence map to help me generate some new ideas for a new project. As Phil usually says 'watch this space' :-)

The Diamond Jubilee River Pageant

Despite a rainy day, the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant overall was a fun and memorable event. The team consisted of Senior Section and Guiding members from Faversham, Maidstone, Sittingbourne and Herne Bay who, having never met before, were sent to Battersea to work together. We were tasked with assisting those in the community with disabilities who had gathered to watch the river pageant... 

The Queen's River Pageant

On the 3rd of June Ella and I as well as a few other Guiding members from Kent and Medway joined up to assist at the River Pageant for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. There we assisted disabled members of the community whilst they watched the Queen go by on the river. Above is a write up of the days events which I wrote for the Guiding website. Apologies for making this post a little late but I completely forgot about it.

New Designers and Graduation

New Designers is the UK's top graduate exhibition. It was at this exhibition that some of us stood for hours on end trying to reel people onto our stand. The zoetrope's created pulled in a captive audience especially 'The Girl and Hoop (starting at 0:19)' which was filmed and photographed many times.



Thanks for Leo Tsang for managing to capture the zoetrope animations.

Shortly after New Designers it was time for Graduation. Was a rather exciting day (helped by the fact that the weather held). After 3 years of mixed emotions and having to deal with software which at times never seemed to want to work I finally made it to the big day :-).
