<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Focusing on the principles of the ball bounce, i learned by going back to the beginning with that in mind i still have to learn, there are mistakes where the heaviest ball comes in on a bounce the air time is for too long, on the last second to the left of the action a hair appears, i know for next time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using Dragon i was able to draw out the arc giving a much more natural and belivable bounce. Dragon also has has a few updates which were more useful than before giving more freedom while animating to look through frames.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my 2013 Stop-frame showreel, all animation and models done my myself. The showreel has music from Carl Davis and B.B King which is also illustrated in the showreel. The animations that are used are my student film 'Street Act' improved ball sequence tests to show principles and my 11second club lip sync animation to show my ability to use expression and lip-sync but also the correct use of the x-sheet.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">11 Second Club what a brilliant idea, two weeks before entry i wanted to create a lip-sync piece for my showreel with other things and thought what better than to get direct feedback from the animation community and find where my skills are in that area of Character animation my chosen speciality in Stop-Frame Animation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First Step crack out some plastercine and create come expressive characters which are good for conveying emotion thats parallel with what the character is saying. What i should be saying is that due to time i wasn't able to create the whole figure but honestly i enjoyed the task of only using the faces for everything the restriction helped bring out a better performance i believe.</span><br />

<u><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lip-Sync Test</span></b></u><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time for a blog post indeed, the past couple of weeks im trying to get things moving with various animation projects and prospective jobs or courses. Apart from the things i can't give away here are a few tests i've been doing in my spare time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first is a lip-sync test which i took from a 16minute recording of my granddad telling me stories which is a great listen, key thing is i wanted to hit the nail on the head and tackle things which im not as confident animating thats why i know there are problems but i've shared it online to get feedback to improved and over coming months notice a better result.</span><br />

<i> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Officially Graduated Finally, its been a long journey full of mixed emotions, the hard grind to get to university then the outcome i could have only ever hoped for becoming a graduate with a First in B.A. Animation Hon's with my student film <a href="https://vimeo.com/39595874" target="_blank">Street Act</a> being Awarded the Silent Movie Animation Challenge Winner was a blessing.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Current state would be a pool of ideas and goals yet to accomplish, working in the local Card shop as a Key Holder to gain funds for personal projects, with that said i am also consistent in my efforts to become the Animator and creature that will inspire others if i fail, well i know i tried with everything.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> There will be more updates on current endeavours to come, il leave this post with a quote i saw just yesterday 'Business doesn't get me down it gets me off' its a charismatic version of my business card quote which is simple 'Enjoy what you do'. </span></i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bristol was my first destination this year for Slapstick Festival 2013, this gives a great chance to meet people who have a love for celebrating silent and classic comedy, this year the face of the programme was the third genius a Mr Harold Lloyd after last year being my favourite Golden Cinema performer Buster Keaton.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Talking about the age old question for cg animators 'Do you Have to be able to draw to animate well?' and we got to the reasoning that some people can still animate really well without drawing but it will always help and elevate your work and so answer being it can always help your animation skills what ever level of an animator you are.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fresh back from Encounters,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Networking with people from the animation industry, seeing new emerging animations which are winning awards all over the place like 'Oh Willy' which i saw on the first day, seeing sets from 'Wallace and Gromit' films and a certain 'Pirate Captains' ship. In Bristol i got the chance to meet so many idols who i aspire to be as good as in the industry who gave me great advise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ani 1:Feathers and Fur</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First showings i saw were 'Feathers and Fur' with Birds,mammals and strange furry creatures which often take centre stage in animation, my favourites from this selection of animations was 'Oh Willy' (directors Emma De Swaef & Marc James) mainly for the overall look of the characters and sets which was all very natural but the story il let you see for yourself. Also another favourite from this selection was 'The Fox and The Chickadee' (director Evan Derushie) showing a simple story but cleverly told with great puppet animation and a most enjoyable watch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Heres the trailer for 'The fox and the Chickadee'-</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These animations were great, i remember them all but il only talk about the ones i most favoured and gave the most empathy to the characters first 'I'm Fine Thanks' (director: Eamonn O'neill) showing a character who bottles things up then shows him reacting to them then in a different perspective which was modern and cleverly put together in the narrative.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'The Pub' (Director: Joseph Pierce) i've always been a fan of Joseph Pierce's work his what he does with characters when he rotoscopes them, morphing their face and distorting it to create an alternative way of looking at the story and each persons perspective within the Narrative. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'De riz d'Armenie' (Director:Helene Marchal, Samy Barras, Celine Seille) "Odette tries tidying up Alphonse's souvenirs".But one dat, no more left. great consept for the disease which is such a sad and painful time for families, the 2d style also has a soft touch to it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Head over Heels' (Director:Timothy Reckart) My favourite short from this selection of animations because of the humour, love and empathy. Description - "A husband and wife have grown apart over the years. He lives on the floor, she lives on the ceiling,and the marriage hang in the balance".</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"One of the qualities that made Aardman Animations stand out back in the late 1970's and 80's was their use of box pop and interviewed recordings, with strong characters animated to the voices. Others such as the hubley's in America were doing it in America were doing it in 2D drawn animation,but Lord and Sproxton pioneered the technique using plastercine character model animation. With the advert of Channel 4 and its enlightened approach to animation under the generous hand of Clare Kitson, Aardman were allowed to flourish and develop their own inimitable style".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A certain Nick Park joined forces in the mid-80s and the rest, they say, is history. This programme featured many of the outstanding early animated films for a rare opportunity to see them in their hand-crafted detail on the big screen".Too tuff to choose a favourite from this collection but Morph, Adam, Pib and Pog, Sledgehammer,Next and Wallace and Gromit which was great to see up on the big screen (well the chase sequence from the wrong trousers)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The talk was greatly beneficial i got notes and found that many of ideas could be for example 'Chicken Run' is 'The Great Escape' with chickens, simply put but it works for a different Audience. Another thing Flushed away started as pirates then went into its own and research took them to the sewers. Then Pirates came from a book that was in a meeting that Peter was attending read it and was instantly telling everyone to pick up a copy.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Aardman Animations saw a period of rapid expansion after the successes of 'The Wrong Trousers' and 'A Close Shave in the 90s. The company became a more diverse studio with a range of incredible stand out talent on their books. The success of the company (including several hundred international awards) was founded on the quality of their short form of work and a thriving commercials department".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For me 'So you want to be a Pirate?' (Directed by Jay Grace) was greatly humour-us with constant gags in keeping with the characters, having them on a tv show which is run by the Pirate Captain and going to separate pirates for each parts of the show wether its finding some treasure or trying new products on the Pirate Kings Beard and my favourite a cooking programme part cooking an octopus in the oven.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This interview was a great opitunity and happy i got a ticket because it seemed sold out, the interview was looking at how Aardman started right, what became major inspiration and the big difference between the Great British humour and the and what chuckles the yanks is a total difference, also in coming with the Story with 'Wallace and Gromit' Wallace gets in trouble but always gets back to normal at the end but american studios seem to need a Journey of discovery or more to the point what does Wallace learn?.</span><br />

<u><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ani 3:Tooth and Claw</span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"An outstanding collection of films featuring mammals and strange beasts. Whether the creature is endowed with human traits or the story explores the uses of animals, one thing is for sure: there's nothing more appealing than a set of singing teeth..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again i won't mention them all but my favourites!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"'Ernesto' (Directed by Corinne Ladeinde) Great lil jolly film with singing teeth, 7 year old Ernesto feels left out when he realises he's the only kid in school with a full set of milk teeth. When his efforts to fit in fail miserably, he resorts to drastic measures to get rid of them; his teeth however, have other plans".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'The Money Tree' (May Jowdh and Alexander Young) also a friend of mine Thomas Grainger worked on this and i hope them all the best for the short, well done again guys, had such a great reception, "Barney, now glowing in financial pride soon discovers that money grows on trees doesnt always give a happy ending".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<u><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ani:4 Time Passages</span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A selection of world class animated shorts that are all strongly influenced by time. Either in the drama of a few moments, a whole life, or the impact of one globally significant event, each film beautifully tells its tale in a timely and pertinent manner".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"'Zing' (Directed by Kyra Bushor, Cynthia Collins) Busy Day in and Out , Mr.Grimm is busy with his job as the reaper, harvesting peoples lives. One day, his monotonous existence is interrupted by the door bell". Visually stunning and with touching sentements which make the story more playfull and shows a human side thats in everyone.Sadly unable to find any footage to show you.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some great advise from someone who is in my eyes a great experimental stop-frame animator, some of the words he had to say were -Keep doing what you want to do, as you'll get better, never studied as an animator.Spoke about the Young British Artists YBA that started in the 60's which gave you the opportunity to use a great amount of materials in a communities problem being even though it was a community it was one that hated each other.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing he's known for is scratching into engravings and colouring in which was also done on wood and making films that look like one thing but were another. Also i got the chance to see one of his new films for the first time shown to an audience and the new techniques he used were really great using the spots on a humans body to create a most fascinating animation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The talk with Sam Fell was of course shown after my second showing of 'Paranorman' which i could do with watching again, the film was of course brilliant even through the technical hitches which only gave Sam a great opportunity to tell people to see the film again but if it was my first time seeing it i would have had to have seen it again.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then came the talk with Sam fell who was open to most questions after, the event was sold out hense why i had a seat so far back but also because i'd been over Watershed beforehand talking with such great animators who have worked at Aardman and also the likes of Tim Allen an animator that i hope to work with and learn from in the future.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also the blog in which we have undertaken to share work and share opinions to be able to move forward has started to flow with work and should be live to the public once in the next stage production which should hopefully be before christmas.</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'd like to say a big thank-you to Disney for doing a points system, from going to the cinema to see Brave then buying something else from disney i was able to get a free copy of 'The Princess and the Frog' you could say why that title, well it was the only one i hadn't seen which was available.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The traditional style of the whole film going back to 2d with such beautiful scenes of magic which made Disney so great from the start and so appealing to children and families, the story and structure had some great messages (not to wreck it for anyone), if i had to choose one thing that stood out would be great strong story structure.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Second part of my specialist study i am doing a lip sync piece using the characters from Street Act which originally would be doing a directors commentary on Street Act but to concentrate on the lip syncing i am going to focus on the last ten seconds in which both characters have a line each.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thinking about sounds i will be using the best of all the voice overs that have been made offer the last couple of days, also while researching disney and how they work with dialog back in the prime of the 2d days and found they always did the characters physical performance before lip syncing which i found interesting (one cell then the other on top).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photo above is of a test which i did on Final cut pro last week where i used a static image of the character then put the individual lip shape to symbolise the sound being played, which worked as a test and a learning curve finding that there need to be more in-betweens and hold the longer lasting letters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other advice also included when i asked for feedback that of putting your hand under your chin to feel when the mouth opens and closes for what letter you make, then also from a 3d animator told me to the lips should always start moving two frames before the sound comes in which had a huge improvement on the test.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you of noticed if you watched street act that there isn't any lip-syncing needed giving more focus on the characters physical performance, in this next snippet of animation to add to the end of street act there will be as crisp lip syncing as possible so i ditched the original mouths and gone for plastercine.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many reasons but main being in-betweens can be simpler to pull of using plastercine with the sculpey ones they were great for pulling off quick expression from the character and understanding the emotions quickly.</span></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finding that the best way of portraying the characters would be taking up more of the screen and taking a lot more attention away from the film 'street act' and more on the commentary by the two characters.</span></i></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While creating the script there came a time where there was too much speech and came repetitive and could be changed to give time for things, the oppitunity to give time in-between gags to laugh is important to create awareness to the audience of where the gag is.</span></i><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back working on the script nearly daily improving it while looking at the animatic and getting variations of how the animation could look with the camera angles and when things come in speech/hands waving, this version is very low res because the original is 2gb because the clip of street act is 1.98gb so i need to swap it to another version.</span></i></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>This animatic with the final script will be passed onto Marc Silk to then get much more professional voices which suit the characters more and because its the main part of the animation the audio it needs to be done right.</i></span><br />
