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.....

earth, air, fire and water! we're back!

In a moment of last minute panic and creativity I have decided to go back to my original idea of using earth, air, fire and water. This can be seen in my initial research, I had always wanted to go with this but a tutor put me off stating that I should have a corporate feel to it and that I didn't want it too "hippy-like" there's nothing wrong with him giving me his opinion and I appreciate the input, however I think by trying to do something else I actually "blocked" myself creatively for a while and struggled to change the visual dynamic I already had in mind.
When I went to visit my dad not long ago I made some film footage of the journey thinking it may come in handy for this brief, and I have more footage I have been collecting along the way, I didn't realize at the time where I was going with it but now it's all hit me! It all falls in nicely with my initial ideas and given the time left I am going to use it, the only thing missing is AIR and WATER, I also want to film some cars at night from the motorway near my house, I am going to film raw meat, but I don't have time to film the sky for a few hours, so I have found this footage, I wonder if there is a way I can rip some of it? I know VJ's do this all the time, so there must be a way to do it, I only need a little fragment of it so I will find out on monday if I can get this for my video.
