Animation in the brain with key frames everywhere, the inbetweens are stomping on the breakdowns, reality distorted in many ways. Animation in the brain and I've gone insane, too many pictures in one go, so many scene's that won't go away!<br /><br />Random poem/lyrics i made up cause I'm going insane :D YAY!!! Turned out better than i expected so I thought i might share it :pDanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644655080375327226.post-54395052406372353182009-06-18T17:54:00.001-07:002009-06-18T18:04:19.236-07:00What kind of student are you?I've signed up to the Karen J. Lloyd mailing list and today i got an email from her about other artists who have sent her links to their websites and one of them caught my eye. http://blog30x30.blogspot.com/2009/06/which-student-are-you.html<br /><br />The owner of the blog, Chuck Dillon, had made a series of pictures depicting the different type of art students he usually gets and i must say, a lot of it is spot on :D I felt like i had to share it with everyone, it's so good. <br /><br />I even tried to figure out what kind of art student i am. I think im a mixture of a brown noser, talkative and average student with a bit of a whiny student in there cause im aware of the fact that i whine when i reeeaaallly dont feel like doing something :p <br /><br />So what type of student are you?Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644655080375327226.post-17305867259849812292009-06-17T18:23:00.000-07:002009-06-17T18:24:20.173-07:00Polished EAP jumpThe updated version of my jump<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5210236&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5210236&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/5210236">polished and finish eap jump</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user369832">Dana Ferris</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644655080375327226.post-33949620987485542342009-06-03T21:23:00.000-07:002009-06-03T21:24:12.469-07:00EAP JumpMy first EAP for franks 3D class<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4991611&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4991611&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/4991611">Eap jump</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user369832">Dana Ferris</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644655080375327226.post-54553819405447867772009-05-17T16:57:00.000-07:002009-05-17T16:59:37.235-07:00Oxfam linkThe link to our current oxfam ad avi.

It's ABOUT the connection artists form with their characters they create within their minds.<br /><br />The fleshed out versions is an artist (her names Dabby) gets pulled into her drawing by her character (called Layton). Layton tells Dabby to follow him and he leads her into a forest which turns into a market place. He's so excited that she's in the drawing with him that he starts to take her to her favourite places like a fountain or a cliff top (this might not happy due to time though) The last place Layton takes her is a fruit stall and gives Dabby an apple which she takes a bit of. The owner of the stall see her eating the apple and starts yelling at then for not paying then proceeds to call a guard. The guard chases the two down the street and up to the roof tops (like in aladin). While they're on the roof tops a hot air balloon goes past (I'll show balloons in the sky in other scenes so that it doesn't look like it's just appeared). Layton jumps into the balloon and tells Dabby to do the same. She jumps but miss's the edge of the basket but Layton catches her and pulls her up. The two go floating up to a hole in the sky where Dabby orginally came from. When they get close to it Layton pushes Dabby up into the hole. She climbes through to the other side which is her room again and the picture she was drawing before hand has now changed to Layton waving goodbye from the balloon basket. <br /><br /><br />So that's the idea for terry's narrative assignment and possibly my end of year animation....i'll see how it turns out in the story boards. <br /><br />On another subject, I've been thinking about what im gonna do after this course. If i do the above story for my animation then it's not gonna get me a job and im fine with that cause I realised that I dont necessarily need to get a job doing animation. Truth be told im still not 100% sure if i do want to do aniamtion for a living (oh god, please no one hurt me for saying that!!). But don't get the impression that im not willing to work hard to make my aniamtion spectacular cause i am. I just feel like somethings missing, like a little spark that changes animation from something i like to something i seriously love. I've never had the urge to go home and do more animation and I don't know if that has something to do with my generation or me as a person. <br /><br />Now I know that this is an animation course and we're spose to be leaving it wanting to get jobs in the doing animation but it dawned on me the other day that there's other that i could do like story boarding or character design. Actually i really enjoy doing both of those. Thinking of stories, fleshing out the plot and how it's all going to pan out is something i love doing. I also love inventing characters and what their personalities are, how they dress, think, act etc. It's just so much fun! And finding new ways to draw, I'm always finding new styles of drawings so I can widen my abilites. <br />So I'm thinkin about researching what I have to do to be a story board artist or character designer. This way I'll have more options as to what I want to do after this year :)Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644655080375327226.post-77233321785862699852009-02-21T16:40:00.000-08:002009-02-21T17:01:19.025-08:00I have decidedI have decided on what I will do for my major project this year. During the holidays I came up with an idea for an animation for the song "the tuning of violins" by Darren Hayes. At first I wasn't going to make it due to time and what I wanted for a job but something has changed my mind.<br /><br />And that something is the permission by Darren Hayes himself to use his song in my animation. For those who don't know who he is, Darren Hayes was the lead singer of the Australian band Savage Garden.<br /><br />Now before Ian and Frank start telling me how hard this will be all the other stuff, I'm going to tell you why I want to do this. 1stly I'm only planning on using about a minute of the song so it won't be as long and i'm also planning on making it just as good as an animation mentor students animation. But this is something that is very close to my heart and finishing this animation and have Darren Hayes go "wow I love this" or any one in fact would mean 10 times more to me than a job offer. Yes i know that this possibly won't get me a job and yes I know this will be hard but I'm willing to put my heart and soul into this animation. Just as Glen Keane said that he felt like he had to animate Ariel to "Part of your world", I feel as though I have to animate to "The turning of violins" <br /><br />This is exactly why I want to draw and animate, to be able to project my stories to the world and I hope that everyone will support me in my decision :3<br /><br />Now bring on the hard task!!!Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644655080375327226.post-42147217449777163412009-02-19T16:11:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:13:18.342-08:00angry bean<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O8bQotMJb_4/SZ31j3i-PWI/AAAAAAAAABI/MUK8TL_b93g/s1600-h/angry+bean+side+view.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O8bQotMJb_4/SZ31j3i-PWI/AAAAAAAAABI/MUK8TL_b93g/s320/angry+bean+side+view.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304665932667174242" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O8bQotMJb_4/SZ31jms6XhI/AAAAAAAAABA/IjycZkojffo/s1600-h/angry+bean+front+view.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O8bQotMJb_4/SZ31jms6XhI/AAAAAAAAABA/IjycZkojffo/s320/angry+bean+front+view.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304665928145460754" /></a><br />I like my angry bean!Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644655080375327226.post-19031966059960803852009-02-12T16:44:00.000-08:002009-02-12T16:48:17.956-08:00goals for this yearMy goal for this year is to be the best animator i can be or better. I really want to push myself to my full potential and see what i can do. With that being said there is a piece of animation that i want to make but due to the time frame i have to make it in, i might not be able to do it. <br /><br />I guess all it's going to come down to is time :3 As long as by the end of the year i can honestly say that i've tried my hardest then i'll be

I'm sorry, I can't get passed the laugh. Every time i watch it it makes me laugh. I love how the chicks just all burst out in the same laugh and at the same time.<br /><br />I think it's because that the chicks movement plus the laugh makes the action so random and unexpected but at the same time....so damn funny.Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644655080375327226.post-57319110713082809632008-03-27T00:30:00.000-07:002008-03-27T00:50:20.946-07:00It's practice time!After Ian's lecture on lines of action on tuesday, I got excited about learning a new way to draw characters and improving my drawing skills. Since that lecture I've been practising what Ian taught us and constantly trying to push myself to make it look better.<br /><br />Now when I sat down to start drawing I went through the things that Ian taught us in my brain. 1stly, start off with a character. I chose my own called Dabby. 2nd, think of a story....Dabby getting angry at her parents. 3rdly, put down the pose you want wit the action line and the power center. And then comes the fun part of re-doing your pose till it looks great<br />Attempt 1<br /><a href="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/?action=view¤t=loaatempt1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/loaatempt1.jpg" border="0" alt="attempt 1"></a><br /><br />Attempt 2<br /><a href="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/?action=view¤t=loaatempt2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/loaatempt2.jpg" border="0" alt="attempt 2"></a><br /><br />Attempt 3 <br /><a href="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/?action=view¤t=loaatempt3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/loaatempt3.jpg" border="0" alt="attempt 3"></a><br /><br />Attempt 4<br /><a href="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/?action=view¤t=loaatempt4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/loaatempt4.jpg" border="0" alt="attempt 4"></a><br /><br />Attempt 5<br /><a href="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/?action=view¤t=loaatempt5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/loaatempt5.jpg" border="0" alt="attempt 5"></a><br /><br />Finally I got the pose I wanted so I drew my character in, while thinking about the symbolism I can use to portray her anger and the type of person she is. This is what I got.<br /><a href="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/?action=view¤t=loaatemptfinal.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/loaatemptfinal.jpg" border="0" alt="final"></a><br /><br />Then I remembered that colour could also be used as symbolism so i added some colour to it ^___^<br /><a href="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/?action=view¤t=loaatemptcolour.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k314/princessdabby/loaatemptcolour.jpg" border="0" alt="colour"></a><br /><br />And there you have it! My step by step process of how I got to my character ^___^<br /><br />What are your thoughts Ian and of course...everyone else?Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10146157214072059819noreply@blogger.com4
