The Project

We have been assigned a project to produce a thirty second film using stop motion animation. For this project I have decided to do a "hands trip to wetherspoon" It took alot of getting wet and a total of 390 photos of my hand, I also turned a few heads whilst taking the the photos in the town centre and in wetherspoon. I hope you enjoy the film as it it took alot of time and effort .

Some cool vids

During the lectures that we have had so far we have encountered some interesting videos that are quite cleverly made. Here are a few examples:

This one is the human skate board and is a very good example of stop motion animation:



The next one is about the iphone and development in technology i just thought this one was rather funny:

Whiteboard Animation

During the induction week of multimedia we were told to do some animation using only whiteboards and still cameras. The plot was that we had to move a box from one side of a house to the other side of the house using only 120 shots and our imaginations. Here is what we came up with:

What I want to gain from the course

I have been studying media for the last five years and when i started looking at university courses. Multimedia caught my eye, when I looked at this course i saw all the different types of things that we would be doing and it seemed very intersesting. Now i am actually starting the course I hope to widely broaden my knowledge of the media and get a successful job in this area of work.

what did i do in my first week

During this week I have attended the welcome week talk and my multimedia induction. During this induction we made a pin hole camera using only a can of strongbow duck tape and a piece of card and managed to take two half decent pictures with this camera. Later that day i decided to go to "kiss kiss" at oceana to meet up with a few friends of mine as I do not know any one (a result of living on my own) the line outside was huge and I was waiting an hour to get in at which point I was told that I could not get in, so I ended up getting a taxi home (bad times). The next day I created my online journal and posted this very blog. Later in the week I hope to attend some fresher week activities so I can actually start enjoying university life.
