I've never heard Stop Motion called Pixelation before, and when I heard people talking about thier projects I just heard 'Photoshop' and assumed it would be editing a still photo, which is cool, I propper need to learn more about that kind of thing...but when I got to the lesson and discovered the project, and especially when we were shown the video for Sledgehammer, one of my favourites, and the work of the Quay brothers, which I love...I almost wet myself with exitement.
As luck would have it though, it was group work which I dread dread dread. My group were lovely wonderful people, but they completly looked at me like I was mad when I was asked for any ideas. So I decided to shut up, and we did this simple thing which was cute. I'll just have to make it look it's best on photoshop, with a cheeky bit of after effects thrown in there. I'm still gonna be working on my own though.
Stoked that i've learnt that Photoshop thing where you adjust all of the images at once, that's awesome isn't it!

dedication to my essay
Why am I in the library at this silly time. It's creepy! I feel like Harry Potter or something, I need an invisiblity cape and a lantern. I'm gonna go to the flat, get me some and come back. If anyone wants to play Wizards in the library let me know.
UGHHH its gone 2, ive been here since half 11 and ive written 52 words. I can even show you a print screen to prove im not exagerating. I think the way I talk has improved though, i've been using some rather big mature words...on facebook. I don't think anyones impressed by them either. I don't think I was made for essays. I like this blog thing though.

whiteboard/pixelation
This is siiiiiiiiick!!! A combo of pixelation and the whiteboard animations we did.
this could be improved, as when they step behind the whiteboard, you can see the split between the three layers...the wall/whiteboard, the person, and the animated white panel.

Creativecow!
Hello!
Just incase you care, I thought i'd just go on about www.creativecow.net
it's propper cool, it's got tutorials in written and video form on just about anything media related. If you learn easier by watching like me, I suggest the videos. I've learnt 99% of what I know about A.E and F.C.P on this website and also on youtube actually. I'm not saying i'm awesome at it yet or anything but I just love it and if you're passionate then you actively have to search and experiment until you figure out how to get the effect you were after. You'll probably find yourself overwhelmed with new ideas as you discover more and more. Theres millions and billions of things you can do with a programme like A.E, so it's not like someone can sit you down and teach it all...

This is the moooost perfect example of interactive narrative ever! I love it!
It's the website for the film 'Donnie Darko' and I think it's really clever, you dont only use your mouse to interact but also your keyboard. Its also not just simple images either, its like motion graphics and pop up boxes. It's clever also, because if you havn't seen the film you'd be desperate to, but if you've already seen the film you actually get more details from it and want to watch it again.
I reeealllly really don't have time to learn how to make something like this, so for now i'll just have to make do with what I can actually figure out and make the best of it! (Help!)

This link takes you to: Living Galapagos which is like an interactive educational film.
It's kind of like a documentary, but you can pick which part you want to look at. I love the initial idea of having a map of the area, with pinpoints to click on, leading you to videos, interviews and photos. I've never really seen anything like this, and if I get into it I think i'd actually offer the idea to clients requesting things like video fliers, as it will interest viewers because it's not often used. It's also more convinient, as the viewer can just select what they want to see, rather than maybe watching the whole video, and losing interest. So this project has actually shown me a new option for video...wicked.
I already had an idea for my project but now i've got a few more and I dont know whether to change my initial idea. To be honest i'm not really loving this project because it's not my real passion although I really want to get into it as it's going to be very useful and broaden my skills which is always awesome. It's one of them things where you just have to sit there and keep trying stuff till you figure it out. I wish I had a bluddy laptop! :(

One shot project
I'm not actually doing 'The One Shot' project at the minute, but i'm propper exited for it because i'm most into film and i've been thinking about things I could do.
I think it's more fun to work with a brief like this because you have to be creative if you want to come up with something really good. When I was thinking about simular things i've seen, I remembered a music video by my favourite director; Michel Gondry. It uses the idea of one shot and camera editing and I think it's amazing. I'd love to do something simular.
Here it is!
