For this summer project, the soundscape that I picked out of the mystery blue box was soundscape 12. The soundscape itself is an orchestral piece of music that is very atmospheric and suspenseful. With my initial thoughts of my soundscape being that it is a dramatic and unnerving piece of music. It's the type of music that you would find in a horror film or even the soundtrack to one of Alfred

So after some technical trouble with Maya not saving my original virus I modelled and textured, I had to go back and start from the beginning. I am hoping that it has turned out like my pervious virus but the one thing that I do like is the greeny glow it gives off. So altogether I am quiet happy with this virus.

It is nearly there, the texture is right but now just to play around with the lightening to create the right atmosphere. But at the moment I really happy with the texture because it is just like the style I picture for my animation.

Finaly after several attempts I have finally found away of texturing the blood vessel in the style I decided in the beginning of the project. Now to just play around with the texture and colour untill  I am happy with the final outcome.

Here are some After Effects tutorials from todays workshop and also one from last weeks workshop.

To help with finding the right style for my animation I have been playing around with different textures, colours and some lighting in Maya. So here are a few of my first attempts of doing this...

So here is my animatic with the changes that were suggested to me in my pitch. I have changed the perspective in act 1 from a third person perspective to the perspective of the virus itself. Also I added to my original ending, by adding a scene that would suggest that there is still parts of this virus inside and that it has not been totally destroyed. The music in this animatic still needs to be

These are just a couple quick experiments I have done to help with find the right texture for my red blood cell. I pick four different textures and out of the four I think that the cork texture works the best out of the all. Now that I have done these experiments, I think that I am going to experiment with playing around with textures for the other parts of my animation. So here are the four

During my pitch there were several suggestions about how I could improve on my animation. So thinking about what was said, I have decided that some of the suggestions, I was going to add into my original idea. As I believe that they will improve my animation as a whole. Then I decided to go and re-write my Act 1 and the end of Act 3, so here is the amended treatment with the changes. Treatment

This is my third and final concept and the one that I like the best. With this concept i try to express texture and colour as this is what my animation is about. After doing this concept I think that I am going to go back and improve on my other two concepts.

So I thought that I would start with modelling something simple so I went for a virus which is a simple spiky shape, to start me off. This was just a quick experiment but I am liking the shape so I am going to build up on this. Also I added some texture and at the moment I am undecided whether it works or not but back to experimenting with Maya for now.

I have gone back over and edited my animatic and also added sound. But at the moment I am unsure whether the music adds to the feel that you are part of a chase or if it is too powerful. I think that I will have to play around with the sound some more but it is getting there slowly.

With this piece of concept art I attempted to make it seem as if you were looking through a blood vessel at what was happening. I really like this piece of concept art better than my last but I think the only thing I would change about it would be the red blood cells. They seem too static, so I think that I will go back and play around with it a little bit more.

Here is my first piece of concept art of a white blood cell. Altogether it still need some more work on it but I am pleased with how it is going this far. So here is the influence map that I was working from when I was creating this piece of concept art.

This animatic is really rough, I have just taken my storyboard and placed it into a video which is the reason for why it is just over one minute. The next step is to play around with it further , by making it seem as if you were traveling through this blood vessel and to add some sound. But doing this has allowed me to picture what my animation will look like.

So here is my first draft of my storyboard, I have tried to express as much camera movement through these drawings but I believe that I will be able to express more camera movement through  my animatic. Which I am working on at the moment.

To help with trying to get across in my animation the narrative of hunt and destroy, so taking Phil’s advice I looked at several sequences in movies, which use the same narrative. The clips below are just some of the few films that I looked at. Looking at these sequences has help me understand how that create some kind of will they or won’t they suspense, in my animation. All the films that I

I think that all these images I have posted before but they pretty much sum up the way that I am thinking about going with my animation with simple shapes, detailed textures and bold colours.

With the many different types of audience range will could choose from I decided to go with 11 to 13 year olds who would be in the beginning years of their secondary school. Now thinking about it I realise that this could be a difficult target audience because I remember my science lessons where the images in the texts books were boring and too complicated to understand and the videos that we

After further research and looking at a book that Phil showed me which had some interesting images of the cells inside the body which expressed a lot of colour and texture. It was this book that I come across a method that scientist use to take photos of the inside of the human called Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).SEMs are used to study three dimensional objects and first become widely used

After finally getting my head around my chosen theme which was theme 3 how the body protects against an infection, which is quite a big process. With several things, that I could base my animation around I decided to go with was the beginning part of the second line of defence where the virus has actually entered the body described in the description below.How the body protects against an

For my time machine essay, I have decided to go for Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer. Known best for his surreal animations and feature length films. In terms of relating it back to the ideas that were discussed in the lecture programme. I was thinking about return back to Freud and his theory of the uncanny. Much of Švankmajer’s work relies on images of the uncanny and the grotesque that sit just

In our first After Effects workshop we were introduced  to the basics of the program. We got the chance to play around with Alphas, Masks and puppet pins.  So here are my attempts of using after effects for the first time ............

After researching into antibodies and white blood cells I come across these three videos. The first is a pretty basic, short 3D animation showing the bodies reactions to a virus.  The second video is actually a video clip of a real white blood cell trying to capture a bacteria. Why I put this video up was because it actually shows what happens inside a person.The third video is an animation about

One of the first books I come across in the library was "Anatomica The Complete Home Medical Reference". This book has several pages of each of the chosen themes from our briefing, but also there are several illustrations that I have found useful becasue their use of colour and texture.

During our brief on Monday with Dr. Klappa he specified four scenarios/themes that we could choose from, all related to threatening virus to the human body. Then after decided we are required to go through all the stages (pre-production, production and post production) which we have learned through our pasted units, to produce a complete animation.

Now that I feel I have found away of expressing movement and motion in my character sketches. I decided to do some quick colour sketches of my character (pepper mill) to try and express its personality. I am quite surprise how they come out, so I think that they need some developing till I am happy that my character has the right personality as well as expressing the emotion Ebullient.

One thing I noticed with my character sketches and my animatic is that my character (the pepper mill) looks too static  and there is very little movement expressed. After talking to Meg today, she advised me to be more loose with the my pen and to just go with it, when it comes to squashing and stretching my character. So I decided to do some quick sketches of my character with this in mind and I

When it came to drawing out the storyboard for 'The Ebullient Pepper Mill' I tried to make the drawings a simple as possible. But one thing that I noticed when I finished drawing out the storyboard, was that I will have to rely on sound for the audience to understand what is happening. So good sounds effects and a good sound track will be need in my animation.

My main character in my story is Pepper the ebullient pepper mill. An over enthusiastic and excitable pepper mill that is trying to attacked the attention of the customers that are sitting at her table. After doing a couple of sketches to find out what kind of shape I wanted the pepper mill to be,  I have gone for the traditional pepper mill wooden shape as seen below.

So the Object that I picked out was a pepper mill which is a type of  kitchen utensil that is used  to grind peppercorns. I didn't realise how many types of pepper mills there are until I did a quick image search. The influence map below shows just a few of the types available. The behaviour I picked
