Poor, quite poor. You would think that sitting in front of a computer all day I would be pouring this stuff out. I guess its just a habit that you've got to get into like turning off lights when you leave the room, or using that cross training machine you drunkenly bought from QVC one night in the New Year. This also doesn't bode well for my new venture as <a href="http://www.safc.com/index.php">Sunderland FCs</a> number one blogging fan. So.. CYFLE PROJECT 1 - THE FLASH BRIEF So the Projects were handed out a few weeks ago with Ben and I getting a Brief from <a href="http://www.calon.tv/">Calon</a>. The brief itself was I guess pretty industry focused as it involved working to pretty strict Directions from Mike Price at Calon. Mike the Director of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobinogs">Bobinogs</a> and the brief was essentially to animate several scenes from that series. We were supplied with backgrounds and characters, and some characters we had to create for ourselves. Im not sure about the legitimacy of putting up the work here in YouTube stylee as what we were working on is yet to be broadcast scenes, but I will put up the following clip of a Monkey Knitting as I created both the character and background, and I'm pretty sure you cant copyright the idea of a Monkey Knitting (lets face it if you could we'd all be millionaires) <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qkE7g93V5jU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qkE7g93V5jU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> WHAT A GREAT MONKEY! - and look at his little tongue wiggling around, boy he must be concentrating pretty hard. As I finished that brief a little earlier than expected I had a bash at another set by <a href="http://www.dinamo.co.uk/">Dinamo</a>. This one involved designing some characters to go along with a piece of supplied dialogue. Ash and Jen were working on this project from the beginning and had a lot of contact with <a href="http://www.dinamo.co.uk/">Dinamo</a> and it sounded like the restriction they had on character design and direction were quite heavy - but as i was doing this for fun there weren't any - joy!. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CjniszWtdBM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CjniszWtdBM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> I even added some extra sound effects!
