Bust a Move

So word on the street is that if I get a 2:1 degree I will do a bit of breakdancing as I accept the degree itself. Well word on the street is right; if I get a 2:1 (unlikely) I will do a quick little six step. For the select few members of my class that have seen me pop this move they can tell you its something special *sarcasm alert* oh and Niall said he will collect his degree while walking on his hands.

3D Room

So here’s the opening I’m going with, it’s pretty much finished. A few more bells and whistles to be added like slowing down the opening but you get the general idea. After Effects and me are like that (doing a crossed fingers hand sign thing).

Postcard from Edinburgh…sort of

So did everyone enjoy the movie yesterday???
As you probably know I’m over in Scotland with tickets to the Ire vs Scot Six Nations game and couldn’t attend the movie. But my absence from college today hasn’t stopped me from working on my FYP, today I successfully broke my drag and drop code ARGH!!! But will hopefully fix it soon.

So onto the postcard thing, today I made three stencils that can fit onto a postcard and be reused over and over as they are cut into card and not paper, its basically the poor mans miniature stencil as this card can be got free in the students union and defaced or improved as you see fit. There are two freefalls and a gasmask (could be used to spray over a models face on an advertisement board, not saying this should be done but you can if you want) the freefall stencils would work great on the edge of a balcony or somewhere where there is a relative drop. See the pictures attached to this blog if you have no idea what I am talking about.

Banker

An idea I’m working on in the style of the Obama Hope poster that I’m sure you’ve seen all over the media of recent times.

The idea is to have a banker begging with a cardboard box made of money and bottle of champagne in a brown paper bag. Here’s what I have so far.

The card he is holding will say something like "Please Help I was once a banker and have spent all your money, any funds given will be put to good use, just like last time"

Fun (Paint) Filled Weekend

I had big plans for this weekend. Got a nice little camera to record the brief history section from the college, but I’ve been working hard painting a flat from floor to ceiling and everything in between, well not the floor but the rest was painted. Its recession time and cash is low so I was glad of the work but now its back to FYP.

So that took up most of my weekend but now I’m currently writing the script for the narration (while writing this too) and will have the audio recorded tonight and the video recorded before class tomorrow, hopefully.

A week of After Effects should give you a better idea of what I am trying to do here for the brief history section, instead of text for the user to read through I want to make a little video in same style as the HP Hands adverts that ran a year or so ago.

Flow Chart

My flow Chart so far….I think this is right. Anyone got any tips or advice on improving it the then don’t be shy.
