A1 And A2

This project helped me learn exactly what it states; "The process of creation". I have learnt alot of the time ideas come from a thought walking down near the beach, or something interesting you saw. Rather than thinking "Ok lets create something". Here are my assignment 1 and assignment 2 they are very thought out and hopefully they draw out some deep meaning as this is was the idea. I will probably upload assignment 3 to Vimeo soon as well as I am very proud of that =D.

Take care all =D

Half way through my video =D

Half of my whole assignment three is also complete as I already have heap loads of screen capture footage!

Just now need to record my evaluations, then i`m most of the way there apart from touching up other bits with the project =D

Both my other assignments are done now =D

Hoping to get it all wrapped up nicely this week =D

Final Productions on the way!

Two days ago I managed to finish my title sequence for my assignment 3, and a day before that I finished the last of my other two assignments! I`m making my titles in sony vegas, this is also where the general editing will take place.

So current tasks are just to get this editing done and record and add in my video blog evaluating each piece! Very exciting stuff and I`m having great fun with the editing!

Progress over christmas break!

Ok so bit of a resource setback and not being able to get on the interenet has been a bit of an issue, now I have brought in my trusty old PC to do the internet. However I have nearly finished the portrait and the typeface is to follow, then the editing begins =D

List of my current video resources. And things to do?

In relation to my self portrait, the majority of my video will be based on screen capture as I want to encapsulate the idea of technology within my life. Technology is a huge part of my life, I am fascinated by technologies in the present and new technologies. I want the viewer to understand this.

I currently have the following resources to work with:

Screen capture footage of photoshop editing

Video Diaries

Screen capture of research with a camera capture and voice over within same file

Phone video camera footage

Still shots of work progression

Things to be done:

More video explanation of choices

Video discussing and evaluating work

Production of final portrait

Long time no post, this is because I`ve been spammed under with loads of work, but never the less have given no less prioty to my productions as before.

Ok so the idea is too work a portrait of myself made up of thumbs and intergrate it onto a motherboard. The image below shows a template of the 'Thumb person' that will be used onto the chip, I have also edited the motherboard so that the brand names on their say my name. However I won`t upload these as the text is rather small and you wouldnt really be able to see with the image viewer on here =(

Anyways thats the update, hope to get the final piece made by next week fingers crossed =D

New Idea!!

Great lesson! Had an awesome idea, think i'm gonna work this into my computer part idea!

Final pieces now in production =D

I will begin photoshopping my final self portrait and begin photographing my final font idea now! =D

With the arrival of a realiable machine this process is now possible, I will document the whole process by screen capture and camera recording =D

Wish me luck =D

Working on final pieces

Ok so I feel that I have researched plenty of different things and have plenty of ideas therefore soon I will embark on making my final pieces. I have chosen to use the idea from the post before for my font, and embedding an image, probably a cartoon of myself onto some computer hardware with photoshop.

Exciting work ahead =D

A thought provoking image

Okay in experimenting with liquids I made a thought provoking image, I will experiment with other liquids in relation to provoking thought.

The text in this image reads "Decency" thought the image is slightly poor quality.

Please comment thoughts on it =D
