Digital Media, I've done nothing but brainstorm, which is really bad because this four minute video is the big thing. The ideas I have are simple and involve mainly either using my brother as an actor and me as a background person or just me. I don't want to make this a super awesome thing that has explosions and fabulous acting, I want this to be simple and witty and easy enough on the eyes and ears. It's about the way it's edited and constructed, not about the actor accidentally skipping a line. Less is more because honestly, this is a school assignment. Not some big budget movie.
Animation Methodologies, I'm in the process of writing my three minute oral. Orals, I have no big deal. I learned my mistake from the Digital Media oral and I understand that one, this is not high school and two, don't clump paragraphs together on your speech and make it hard to read and three, practice. The essay however, I'll really need to get into. Essay's are okay, it's just trying to write it without repeating myself within the 1500 words because I seem to do that. A lot.
Visual Communication, my oral went really well in my opinion. I practised it probably a million times and it really helped. I did rush the whole thing, but that was because I needed to fit it all in there. I had a lot to say. And luckily, everyone understood me! I even had a fellow classmate come up to me and tell me she really liked my oral and that it made her day (which made me feel awesome). The assignment will probably be something I can do with ease. Design seems to be my speciality at the moment, especially here when a lot of students seem to not understand that bright colours and rainbows is not the way to go.
Drawing for Design is one of the biggest hoops. To create such a portfolio will really take it out of me since it's not really my brain that decides when I draw, but my hand. I won't upload my drawings from that class (on account I haven't done the homework yet) but I'll upload one I did this week.
And also, I'll upload some drawings by my friends for me!!
The one on the left is of Azure (based on the pixel art I mocked up of her) who I drew last entry by another member who manages the roleplay. The other is a picture my uncle did of me as we were drawing each other. SEE, I'M SUPERMAN!
Since, apparently, we get six or so weeks holidays, I've decided to partake in a project with some of my closest online friends. We're creating a Pokémon game with RMXP (RPG Maker XP) and I'm the artist. I really wanna put my all in this, especially since I do nothing else but work other than university. If I can grab some attention with this, perhaps I really can get my name out there. I really want to start commissions and by doing something like this, it should really help with a 'portfolio'. I plan on remaking a lot of the overworld sprites (600+ Pokémon may be too hard, but I'll see how I go) and all of the art should be original. I'll keep everyone posted, even post art and junk here! I do have few sketches for the trainers but nothing solid yet.
Anyways, hopefully by next week, I should have a bunch of stuff for you guys!
