Hey... Sorry I'm late!

First Blog of 2010! What a huge gap. But hopefully I will be making it a sort of regular thing from now on...

Anyway I am just sitting here having a break from work and watching Being Human. I probably shouldnt since my tutor and the person from the BBC want to see our work so far tomorrow at 2pm and I only have a sketchbook of some sketches and about a page and a half of storyboarding and they want a complete storyboard, Mood board (which shouldnt be too hard) and a line test by Thursday! HOW AM I GONNA DO THIS! Oh well I like to think I always pull through.

The Project for the BBC is about "Objects" and how important a certain item is in history. I am creating an animation on the Stone Mason's Mallet (partly due to my father being a Stone Mason) and the animation involves a stone mason from the 16th century working on a sculpture and as he works on it time passes and he changes from a 16th century man to an 18th century man and then finally a modern man and finishing the sculpture of an angel. And all the way through this each man uses the exact same wooden Mallet. This is because even today Stone Masons still use that same tool they have used for thousands of years. Hopefully this animation highlights that the tool is still important today and has created important buildings and sculptures for a very long time.

Also I will be investing in a certain product which should help with my work... alot! A Wacom Cintiq screen. Something that allow me to do which I could never do with a Graphics Tablet :D

FIRST EVER BLOG!

That's right it's my first ever blog.... not sure what to write really but here I am!

It is the start of my first week of my Christmas holidays as I just finished my first term of the second year studying Animation at the Norwich University college of the Arts. And I have SO much Christmas shopping to do... I haven't even thought of what to get people, let alone buying anything yet. I am only just starting to get in the Christmas mood as I just heard on the radio that we only have TWO weeks! I know. Anyway so I stuffed so much Christmas music into iTunes and of course into my iPod and forced the music down my ears and told myself IT'S CHRISTMAS!.... Its sunk in I think. I am gonna start shopping tomorrow so.... the 15th, But still I have absolutely no idea what to get. We'll just see how it goes.

Anyway on a side note, like it says on this blog I am an Animation Student and if you want to see any of my work I am on...
