MAKING A SHORT STOP MOTION FILM

So today, the 10th of Decemeber Louise and I got started on our film. We have changed our idea last minute from recycling to drink driving. Drink driving will be easier to fil and make with less scences. So we started by making a girl whos out partying as we put a cute dress on her!! She is going to be drinking in a party then she is going to get in her car and drive....then crash!!! Me and Louise have worked really hard today...we made our girl and our two backgrounds. We already have a car made from our first year. W ehave done a lot of creative thinking today trying to make a mini disco....making a dancefloor and a groovy background, then making an outdoor scence with a road and a tree.
Overall, really really happy with our progress today as we are ready to film in the new year!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! AND SEE YOU IN 2010!!!! XX

Back to Mandy!

Today we come back to Mandy's lecture. We found out what our assignment is going to be here and we have to make an Opus programme. Obviously we didn't have a clue what she was talking about until she gave us programmes of what other students have done previous with the programme. Myself and Kathy looked and compared two different Opus programmes. One was teaching the time and the other on St. Fagons. We found one more profgessional than the other but the other was slightly more user-friendly. We have emailed our evaulations to Mandy regarding our thoughts! It seems quite scary that we have to do one of these ourselves for our project......time to get our thinking caps on and start thinking what we are going to do our Opus on!!!!!!!

Catch ya next week!!!

FRESH START

HELLO!

It's been a while! but I am back in my final year of uni!!! Horray!!! I lasted this long!!! Am really looking forward to graduating!!!!

So now I am using my blog for my I.T and D and T sessions as this ois going to be part of my final assesment for this module. I will update regualarly about how my assignment is going and any new information......

We have been asked to make a stop and start amination about an issue we feel strongly about. My partner Louise and I have decided to look at the environment and recycling. We want our animation to stress the importance of global warming and how to reduce our carbon footprint.

Today we have gathered our ideas on how to reduce pollution such as switching lights out, using less cars etc and have made a short little storyboard of how we think our animation is going to go......one step at a time!!! We will gradullay get there......Time to suss out these video cameras now........
