The last project hand-in before Christmas – an experimental animation. This was definitely going to be the project with the widest range of results from the animation group. Whether it be playing with sand, cutting up paper or just running around with a pirate ship, nobody really knew what to expect.
I’ll get this in early, [...]
About 4 weeks ago, I may of mentioned that our next exercise would be part of the monthly competitions held over at the 11 Second Club.

This is our third animation principles exercise in as many weeks, the last before our main unit task. The aim was convey two different emotions and the transition between them. Again, I decided to work in 3D, so I could play a little.
We were asked to concentrate on certain qualities for this, to give [...]

Character is all those little things we take for granted every day, it is built on the way we move, the way we interact. It [...]
So we begin our second year of digital animation at Falmouth. Myself and a few friends did try to get involved with the fresher’s events, but it isn’t quite the same when you aren’t, umm, freshers. Aside from that, it appears to a continuation of what we had learnt in the first year.
Biggest change this [...]
