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.....

Maya Animated Sperm!


well I have finally come up with a sperm model that I like, I got an image and imported it into maya which I then used to model the sperm off of. This has worked out much better than previous attempts! (see images below)
I have added a sine handel and altered the wave length, amplitude, low bound and high bound and then have animated it by keying the offset in various positions.
The above screenshot shows the animated sperm on the far right and 2 duplicates which I am going to animate the same way giving them slight differences for characterisation.

I am not too worried about the egg yet as it will just be a sphere that will turn and bounce. the final scene will be the trickiest as I will have to flatten the sperm as the egg jumps on top of it!
