So I've been slack with these updates, mainly because I've been trying to get a work placement for my Unit 9 module, which is proving to be a right pain at the moment.
But nonetheless, while I'm waiting to hear back from these blasted companies, I'll tell you what's going on.
- Film Noir locations - the other day when I was with my good friends Louis and Joe, we were walking through some backstreets and alleys of Soho/Tottenham court road at around 8pm when it was fairly dark. I came across some great locations, tight alleyways and road spaces with great ambient lighting. Another great thing is that's fairly quiet round these parts, so we would get minimal interruptions from pesky pedestrians. I'll go back here to take some photos soon.
- Stop motion photomontage - I've decided that the location for this is going to be a park, and that the scene is generally going to be on one location, maybe two, if I have the time (and skill) to do something this complicated. I want 'exterior' elements entering the frame to catch the audience eyes. i.e. frisbee floats in to the main character, birds flying and so on. I was thinking perhaps Burgess park, as this is a huge park, and as long I shoot the before dark I won't be murdered.
- Stop motion photomontage 2 - Jon has kindly lent me his book called 'Writing for Animation, Comics and Games by Christy Marx' I've read a couple of pages and it's good getting used to the terminology for scripts again, as well as making me think of some ideas for my own animation. And plus it's actually brilliant that I'm reading a book for a project for once!
So yeah, brief but okay progress, like I said I've been pre-occupied with finding a work placement, and I will be for the next 2 weeks. So I need to crack on with certain ideas etc so that it can develop easily when I come back from my placement. And plus it will be a good creative break, I'll come back all refreshed and what not.
Until next time.
Jamie
