I am currently in my final year of foundation Degree Digital Media at Leeds college of art, and I specialize in story-telling using a range of mediums including interactive based content. I would say I am inspired by cartoons and comics, but also the little things that most people don't notice or maybe are not bothered about, like this strange women on the train the other day, I imagined her whole life in 2 minutes! or the way a silverfish freezes up when it feels vibrations in the hope it won't be noticed! OK so I admit I have an overactive imagination, always have, but that is what I like about me and I feel this only helps me in my line of work. My strength as a digital designer definitely lies in my passion for creating a narrative and a mood, I am interested in the visual construction between image and sound and I like to animate using 2D software and my own hand drawings. I want to bring "my world" to life using digital media.....

Final Maya Storyboard


Here is my final storyboard for maya, I decided not to go with the others as this one will be more simple, and in the amount of time I have left and my non-existent skills in maya I think this is a wise decision.

I thought of the early scenes from the movie look who's talking in which there are talking sperms going for the eggs, my narrative is straight forward and simple, the sperms come after the eggs, the eggs run away, except one who stays to battle with the sperm that is lingering around her, he tries to make a few moves on her but fails and in the end she squishes him.

short but sweet, with the perfect ending! 

so far I have been working on modeling the sperm as the egg will be relatively easy, after seeking some help from a 3rd year student I finally got to grips with modeling and have managed to make a few sperm! now it's just getting to grips with animating them, although I have basic understanding as matt went through it with me, i lost track a bit taking notes, so got a bit lost, but I don't think i'll bother asking him the same thing again, he's shown me twice now but the first time i didn't take notes and it was too fast to remember anything! 
I will focus on this more next week when my Flash assignment has been finished, I don't know why they give us so many briefs! it would be so much more beneficial to our learning if we only got one at a time but less time to work on them, i'm sure we would all focus more, be under less stress and produce better results, and the teachers might find they have more time too!

Of course I understand that they are trying to give us the feel for working in a studio, but surely that would be better saved for year 2 or 3? we are still learning after all! hardly on the same level as a professional working in the industry!
