Childline Advert

I really like this advert for Childline by YCN Studio. I feel that the images represent the emotions very well. A beautiful take on a very hard hitting subject.

Favourite Life Drawing Piece

As I was handing in my Drawing folder today, I reflected on what has been my favourite piece of the academic year. I have chosen this - a half an hour tonal life drawing. I remember struggling to get the correct angle due to the twist in her body! I am happy with it though and actually quite like the contrast of the unfinished head.

Oreo advert

This is a lovely piece of commercial animation that I stumbled across online. I think they have interpreted the narrative very creatively and dynamically. There is a lot of unusual movement with the characters which makes it visually interesting.

Momoco

Whilst looking at Momoco's site I discovered some very inspiring work. Here are a few of my favourite title sequences:

Great Expectations

Wolfblood

Misfits

Title Design

After a meeting with Rozi I have decided to focus my Summer on researching Motion Graphics - in particular Title Design. One example that sprung straight to my mind is the opening titles for the recent BBC drama 'Ripper Street'. I found that the designer is a guy called Nic Benns who leads a creative studio called Momoco.

Facial Expressions

I have been researching facial expressions for my characters as per this model sheet. I am happy with the outcome and feel that they emote accurately.

Walk Cycle Research

Here is a side walk cycle from the Animation Survival Kit by Richard Williams that Rozi has recommended. I will be trying walk cycles in Flash in preparation for my Narrative project.
