The second animation in the silent movie series...

Top 10

I have produced some storyboards, just including keyframes of my initial ideas.

Ident- Hair of the dog

Ident- Pain killers

Ident- Fruit juice

Ident- Fry up

Title sequence

I also vectored up one of the frames quickly so that in my crit they would get a feel of the kind of look I'm going for.

Silent movie

I have started working on my first sequence on After Effects. I began with the one that appears to be melting as we done something very similar with Mike.
Initially I just added keyframes and adjusted the anchor points, but it came across really jolty and I wanted the motion to run more smoothly.

I then spaced the keyframes more evenly to help it play more smoothly.

Editorial Image

Today we were given our first brief for the drawing as practice module. We have to produce three images to accompany the articles we have been given.
Here are my initial thoughts, key words and ideas.

Doctor, doctor:

Colds, infections, sneezing, jabs, virus, thermometer, face mask, old age, youth, antibodies.
Enlarged cold cell, Giant microbes.
Illustration of giant cold cell character, perhaps made then photographed.

This column will change your life:

Money, notes, charity, million, pound coins, saving, thousand, million, billion, trillion, to the moon, starving children, numbers.
An illustration of pound coins piled up from the earth up to the moon.
Photograph of piles of money.
Person confused by numbers.

Relationship maths:

Facebook, computer, relationship, internet. friend request.
Friend request asking how well you know the person- highlighting how you don't really know all of you Facebook friends.

Action plan:

• Build up a bank of related images and blog onto context.
• Brainstorm more ideas and keywords
• Start sketching

The rational...
