Well, what can I say. My head hurts and I seriously need some sleep. All in the name of fun! During today’s recovery period I read a very interesting article in Digital SLR User Magazine, it's titled 'Winter Projects: A Picture A Day'. This article was written by photographer Charlotte Griffiths.

As a part of her assignment for January’s issue of Digital SLR User Mag she was to take a picture a day for a week. That sounds fairly easy, but, is it? Magazine photographers spend hours planning and setting up there kit in order to get the best shots for the glossy pages. So can you really get a magazine quality picture just in day to day life.

As you can imagine no one would write such a story up if it wasn't possible so obviously it is, she carried it off. So I got thinking, can an amateur do it too? One way to find out I think. So as my new year’s resolution I’m aiming to take a picture a day for the whole of January. There will be a folder on my deviantart gallery named, January. All 31 images will be placed in there. Let me know what you think.

This blog will be updated on both:

Below is my final Pixelation Sequence. Out of all the animations that I have trialed through this project I have decided that this is the most advanced for a number of reasons. The main reason i have chosen this one as my final piece is that it seems to flow much smoother than any other of the animations i have done previously. I also belive this is more impressive as different filters and effects were required for different parts of the sequence. Finally I would like to say that i'm really happy with it. Let me know what you think!

Below is my final edit of the pixelation sequence attempted within our groups.

OK, so i keep putting together strange little clay men. Which come out "OK" but I've never been that happy with so I decided I should try and do something with some sort of story/theme. I decided to do a minature evolution themed animation. The results are below:

Quick Animation Update!

Below are videos from my latest (and best) clay animation video and pixelation animation.

The clay animation:

Out of the two clay animation video's I have produced so far this is my favourite. However, I still feel that attempting to create a clay animation video of a high enough quality may require more experience.

The pixelation animation:

This video has come out better than I initialy expected. I am pleased with the current effects that have been added using the 'Batch Processing' tool in Adobe Photoshop. I am also looking foward to trying out other effects and styles.

What do I want out of Multimedia at NTU?

I want a number of things including, a better perception of industry tools and techniques. A good understanding of all covered topics, most important being: animation, audio engineering and especially website design.

The most important thing I feel I can gain from this course, with the exception of a great qualification, is a precise idea of what I want to do when I leave - it'd be nice to think i'll have a good time achieving all of the above.
