Drawing for a client (side project)

This is the second project that I did with Motion Go and this one we actual finished.

Sera was asked by the owner of Calder Graphics which is a store in Huddersfield if our group were interested in doing a project for his store.

We got straight onto planing and we decided all to do a 10 second stop motion using things from the store, after this we planed a meeting with the owner and he approved it and suggested we all use a different brand each so that we could use send them to the companies for them to use as well.

After the feedback we meet up the following week to finish planing and to get any things we needed from the store before we go to shot the stop motions.


I had five days till the shot and I needed to do a lot of pre production to do for mine as I had very big plans and looking back on it now I had way to big of plains for the little time I had.

I ended up not having half as much as I wanted to have done after putting in about 30 hours into it, this was ok though as we found a way to use what I had to still do stuff.

The one thing I did not plan on was Sera loving the fact that I had recorded all of my work that I put into the book that I was using from the store, Sera thought it would look cool if it was speed it up too be 7 seconds long. It turns out that it was as easy as hitting the speed up button on an adobe programme as you can (for some weird reason) only speed something by 10.000% which was just not enough, I ended up just exporting it like that and than speeding it up again. Sera and the client liked it that much that we just it in the final output and give the other one to him as well that I filmed.

Here is the final group project

End of year 2 showreel

We made a showreel that have most of the work I've at uni, I wanted the start to be very eye catching to the point where it was almost announcing, I lecturer refereed me to some old openings from news stations which did the same which was funny to see that it was a thing.

Chick Here for the showreel

3D modelling drinks containers

As simple as importing a line from illustrator and extruding it in a 360 degree radius which we did for the can and the bottle. The main thing I liked about this task was learning that there are detailed models and textures inside of C4D that are free to use.

The centipede game using coding (side Project)

I made a game with coding which took two days and boy do I now hate brackets { }. This was my second time using coding to make something and first time writing the code from scratch.

It's called "Centipede" and it's not finished in a way of a full playable game would be but you can still kill things, move around and get a score; you just can't die.

This is the what it looks like and Click Here for a video of it.
If you want to play it for your self than download open processing for free and than the project file Here.

I was messing about and thought it would be funny to turn everything into mushrooms; the enemy will never see me coming :)

New Script for Hyperrealites

I'm in the production stage of my project and I know what I have to do but I couldn't get started so I wrote a better script so that it would simplify what I needed to do and get me started. I realise that the fight scene at the start can be any length of time and can be about anything so I've decided to do it last so that I can focus on the story.  

I may or may not use SFM "Source Film Making" because I am unsure if it's going to be hard to make/find an arena for the fight to happen in but I know that there are a few out there for SFM and it's not hard to use.

I may change scene 3 to use a different software but for now I'll see how scene 2 comes out which I'll be working on now.

Collaboration with a stranger (Side project)

I found someone on a online chat sever called Dark Eyes and he was interested in starting his own parody series which he would edit different cartoons together and than voice over them to give it a story. I offered my help if there was any small things I could help with and he accepted.

It starred off with me reformat his scripts from unreadable to usable as I learned how to write scripts in college so it wasn't too difficult.

After that he needed to find someone to voice the kid dragon character so I offered to voice because he was not looking for a profession and I had the equipment which was a Olympus digital voice recorder.    
That character had a lot of lines!                

after I sent him my lines he edited the video together and he sent it to me to add any random things I could think of, I asked if he had anything in mind but he did not know what I was capable of so it would of been hard to suggest anything.

For one of them I ended up blur out a part of one of the characters for all of the video and I added random images into a blank book.



For the other I removed small objects such as the leg of tables and hid images in the background.

We worked on three videos in to course of two months but he turned to be very unreliable the more I worked with him.

In the second video everything was fine up until I sent him the final edited video and all he had to do was to upload it, but instead of uploading the one I sent him he uploaded the non edited one and said that I should of "Named" the project file something other than the name he sent me, he than didn't take it down so all my work was for nothing.
After that we Worked on one last video which he needed me to voice two characters and to edit one of hes to sound like a robot. After I recorded all my lines and learned how to make a voice sound like a robot in adobe Audion (which I had to like how to use adobe Audion first) he than told me that he was going to sent me his lines "tomorrow". I never got the lines and again wasted my time. I talked to him a month later and he said "oh yea I have been gaming a lot lately".

Although things did not work out in the end I have learned how to treat people who are not interested in what there doing, I also learned a few tricks here and there on how to do thing quicker so I was glad of the opportunity.
