This stop motion piece was the first piece i created in my first year.The piece explores the idea of the journey through time and space,by using objects from the past up to present to represent the memories the character has of a room. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI-tTcNAc_g
The final part of my second was to create a CGI interactive map which gave students the opportunity interactive and find rooms around the university.Inorder to over come this we create CGi scale version of the university using XSI to model buildings and object in scene.We then used Abode Flash to make it active by including buttons which a student would press and then would be taken on a journey to that room.In flash we used this software to create routes and recording the route with the camera onscene.This project enable myself to learn new and basic skills in using xsi to model buildings.One of the main aims of the project was to texture the buildings inorder to make them look more realistic and create the feeling of a virtual map.Although due to time constraints within the project because of the rendering process, we were unable to texture the scene.If we did this scene again i feel we would plan more and take into consideration the texturing.Below is a short clip showing an example of a route created.
This the second project i solely createdly indivdually in my second year, in which i experimented with using time lapse to explore the idea of the passing of time.This project was undertake individually which gave myself the opportunity to learn how to produce a film and edit using Final Cut Pro.I really enjoyed this project as i was able to learn valuable skills.
For my final project I am currently directing a CGI short animation using XSI which is set in a pieceful country when it is disturbed by a ringing public telephone,where an old male wheelchairbound character many attempts which include:using an elastic band to ping himself up the hill,using fireworks tied to use wheelchair to launch himself up the hill, and finally using a fishing rod to reel himself up the hill to answer the phone at the top of a hill.
When he reaches the top the hill and answers the phone, we then see in the background his house is then hit by a lose firework from the pervious scene, the house then explodes as he receive a call about house insurance.This is an example of a tractor which i modelled and textured in XSI for the final project,this project has enabled the development of my skills further from my second year project.This is a rusty abandon tractor, which will be used to give character and add meaning to the story.During this project I have learn how to model characters and objects in scene as shown above,texture and animate,edit sound and image to create a high standard piece of work.
This is video of the final tractor i made and animated in XSI.These are images of the table and chair i modelled and textured using a wood texture in XSI.
This is an example of the animatic. i helped create for the final scene of the film were the rocket hits the house. In order to make the rocket look like it smoothly hitting the house we construed the rocket along a curve.
landscape so far for final project created by group member Sean Whelan.
I am currently directing the CGI short, An upstruggle,this an example of the final scene of film which i created show the a rocket from the previous scene hitting the house.
These are the scenes i am currently editing together the sound and image to see what it will look like.
This what i have created so far although some scene are missing as they are being rendered.
