EVERYTHING

Just thought I'd sum up everything I've done this semester in this post.


------------------

Brief 1 - Visual Noise



First brief was, to be honest, done really fast. I did experimentation with the effects in Illustrator in classes and on my free time, but I didn't really document them. So I submitted the very first scratch pad that I did in class, since that's the only one I had with me. I like to use texture, and I never knew I cold use texture in Illustrator, so I think I might have over did it..

------------------


Brief 2 - Visual Fiction




I have a little obsession for sheep. And thought this would be a fun thing to do as a concept. I stamped-tool a LOT, and for some bits on the edge I re-painted the fur.

------------------


Brief 3 - Transition




I've missed few classes during this project, so I had a little hard time using After Effects, but I think I've managed alright. Rotating was fun to do. My original idea was to have a singing vocal too, but I realized synching them would be so damn hard, so I didn't.

------------------

Brief 4 - Type based Animation



Finally, last brief. Text based animation. My original idea was just to have the text flipping around the screen and have the background changes colour, but during the process, they started to hurt my eyes, so I didn't end up flashing the backgrounds. I did the dots instead and synch them with the music beats. The first 2 dots were meant to be the piano, the middle one was bass/guitar (and maybe a bit of the vocal) and the last two on the right are for the random strings. I really like the simplicity of this piece, I know it's not anything fancy about the text but I think I've fulfilled what I wanted to do with this brief. That is, if this video made you feel at least the tiniest bit of goodness.

My friend showed me this animation when I was youtubing for cool clips for inspirations.. Found a lot of course, but this one was just funny to share. Haha.

Video pimp

So like, I almost forgot I have this journal to update.

I've been high on this man's music for a while now. And I think the video is rather cool. :)

Amy Sol

Anyone familiar with this artist's work?

I came across to her work a while ago, from a friend's display picture in MSN. Went to stalk her LiveJournal for a while until she closed it down and moved to her official site. :)

Then few weeks ago, I bought the Curvy magazine and one of her work was featured there. Made me go back and look through her stuff again.

Here are some of my favourite work of her.




I would describe her style as feminine and subtle and sort of playful? I like the way she always uses animals in her work; the interaction between the human figure and the animals are somewhat interesting hehe.

All pictures taken from Amy Sol's official website.
