Deeper analytical skills

Externatelly generated briefs

Work on multiple things

Get in contact with other animators in my area.

Planning you organisation and logistics

Have a live network, Louis Hudson

Apply everything you have learned to live projects, build a client base.

Juggle up to 6 things

Discuss personal briefs with tutors.

Look at competitions to direct some briefs

GRAPHIC COMPETITIONS.NET (look at who is judges these and look at their practice)

Look at Viscom padlet

Look professional journals (creative review)

 

Make a mind map of who you know and who they may know and so forth.

Document everything you do, emails etc

Take everything to a professional manner.

Treat you own briefs in a professional manner.

‘Between the ears’. Making sounds with birds.

Make a definite deadline for your work if it is not a live brief.

Make iterations on everything

How can i work with someone else (get in contact with Aaron)

Think about proposals you can generate, and how you could approach  someone

Try to develop skills that you think you may need, go to workshops.

Put in what strategies you are using to keep yourself on track and how you went about your research.

I want to look more into design work along with animation, look at competitions that allows me to design animations for companies.

You will need to keep talking to tutors and and keep a dialogue while you work on your briefs.

Make sure you answer all the outcomes to a high standard.

Find as many live projects and briefs as possible.

Build on what you have been doing.

Take what you have learnt in previous projects from ACP module and push to a professional level.

You can also take parts of previous work to push further.

Do mind map of networks you already have, professional bodies that relevant to your specialism

Association of illustrations

Brand and design awards

Imperial war museum(London)

Army museum(London)

180 strand

Just email people you may get an answer back.

Really think about your audience for this module, as the brief will ask to fulfil for the audience.

Analyse what is going on contemporary in art, rethink about the exhibition at the strand and how it could be used in advertisement.

Narrow down your audience on your own personal  projects

Design, style and form designed for the audience.

Audience will affect design and why.

You can do a live brief and not enter it, if it is a lot of money to enter.

Think of the work you are producing and creating having three different lives.

If the project falls apart you still have the work that went towards it, the processes and you can say why it didn’t work.

Look at case studies about how people collaborate with each other

See if I can find a charity to work with, or send them some work, as this may lead somewhere.

Look at ads of the world

remember to try and network at the Graduate shows I go to with Surface Gallery.

Look at what’s been written about (look at Creative Review and Art Monthly) what is gaining traction.

Look at how you develop promotional material for you short film for carousel, as part of the project.  Think about the audience, who would mostly be artist and filmmakers, animators.  Where you animation could be sent to in regards to subject.

What are you visually communicating, and the problem you are solving.

How can you rebrand for the Furmans brief, they want to keep the colour palette.

Look at what already exists for live briefs that you work on

When you are out and about look around and think about how visual communication is used in those circumstances

Look at the characters I may create and think about what is their story and how they can be used to solve a problem and move a narrative along.

Think about what is going to be relevant in the coming months and years.  Think about points in time so they are functional.

What needs to remain- The Traditional image the uphold.
Though try to look beyond the millitarly aspect.

Bring your specialism to this brief to respond and solve this problem.

Brief
Entries can be character animations in any medium, from CG animation (Maya, 3DS Max, Blender, Animation:Master, etc.) to traditional 2D animation to stop-motion. Consider posting your progress videos in the Work in Progress forum. Feedback and criticism will make your animation stronger!

I will need to find imagery to play with in regards to making a video and think about how I could animate certain parts of the title and lettering of the company names and embellish with the garments etc that are made by each.
There will be a class trip on the 22nd of June to the building in Birmingham, where I should be able to gather some footage.
In a tutorial with Rob and Matt, it was mentioned that I should have two ideas of where I want to go with my video so that i can get the footage I want.  These will be listed here:
 

Once Ideas have come together I can build a storyboard to hash out everything and to see what works.

~~OPEN CALL~~

Our cinema - Open Call

Short film screening every month at The carousel, Nottingham

Open call for independent short film makers
Anyone above 16 can apply
UK based (preferably local to Nottingham)
College and university students
Independent and small companies

We are looking for short films (no longer than 25 mins) to be submitted to us for our monthly short film screening. No specific genre required.

Mental Health
Nature (environment)
Overactive, mind whirling
Brain on overdrive
Constantly on the go
what helps me to calm down (go outside)

I will be aiming for a drawn 2D animation on Adobe Animate

1 mins

I want there to be sound and this will be decided after the subject has been created and started animating

The Local Artist community in Nottingham and others that have dealt with mental health issues, this is because they could relate to the situation and feel less alone.

This will be decided once the subject is firmly in place- updated- That anxiety can happen to anyone and you are not alone in these situations.

See how things connect with that theory.

Take what was good from the last module and keep building that confidence with the work. 

Define what I want from my character design and stories- theory and what is going on in life.





   

 

Thinking back to the ingredients of a story which I researched in the last module, with this only being 11 seconds long not all of those Ingredients will be appropriate in this situation

Protagonist- This will be one of the characters (This will be decided after the initial choice of character design and the narrative of the situation they are talking about in the 11 seconds)  The Fly

Antagonist - This will be the other- The Frog

Inciting Incident- This could be the situation they are talking about which will be translated by what is going on in the scene around them.  The Frog wants to eat the fly

I'm still unsure if these will be included
Desire/Journey- to let the frog know he could be better, not just taking what he wants

The crisis- fly explains the personal aspect of the situation 

The Climax- The frog coming to eat the fly

Resolution- the frog doesn't care and eats him anyway

Build on previous work that you have done- This is my reason for looking and the main principles of animation, as I have already looked into the ingredient storytelling, the logical next step was to look at the principles of animation, as this will create more robust storytelling in my work in animation.     

 
Why am I doing character design as a personal project- I feel that this could be a good project for me to expand on my knowledge and skills with not as much pressure as having a project with a deadline from an outside source- This project could be used in illustration as well as animation and I can also use the research and test and upskill from this to integrate into live briefs and competitions.    

Advice from other students and tutors

Think of the possible audience for this personal project - this can be more than one- set criteria for design

Think of cultural agenda, popular culture, academia

Will be asked at formative, what is the function of my briefs and projects, the work that I am creating, also what is the problem you are solving (this can be the technical aspect within the personal project)

Explain themes of narration

After looking over the original drawing again I decided to come up with the three words to help me build a character.

As this is an overwhelmed mind, I have decided to draw just the brain and let that be the central character with the characteristics of blue (sad) and Anxious.

Updated -I decided to just have the blue reference in one scene that I created as I felt that would work better rather than always having the brain blue. The story is about anxiety and it doesn't always make me sad

Now I can let the story go from here. 

Using footage of milky ways and the galaxy- utilise type instead of drawn animation

This will bring down the time.

Write a short monologue about how I feel in my head

Small animation could be used if time allows.

I can test a few.

*Draw out animation for in between shots

*Write some sentences about your head space in regards to what will be on screen.  This will be gallaxy images and video.

*Think about sound for the background, and note them here.

*look up how the mind deals with trauma

Could this be what it feels like to lose your mind, or at least what you would hope to see?  

It really is the strangest feeling, when your mind decided to turn off.

My therapist told me this was my mind trying to help me deal with the trauma by not overloading on past memories.

Part of wished I could just get away from it all

Leave and never come back
