Week 10... Layers!

Today's tutorial was about creating a website. I was worried about having to do layers and linking pages together, however I found it to be fairly easy after it was exaplained to us in class. Today I've begun work on our Flash Folio for toilet love and so far, it's going well.

In regards to our movie , Victoria and I have basically finished filming. We plan on officially starting and finishing the animation of our characters in a few scenes by next week.

Week 9: Movie Posters

Today we handed up our movie posters for the promotional package. I stayed true to my initial idea of using a basic colour scheme, which consisted of blue, black, pink and white. The idea incorporates the use of negative space, and a main shot of each character, by themselves and together.

Week 8: Promotional Package!

Hey guys, so this week I've just been working hard on my promotional package. That is- the three movie posters, still shots and the DVD cover! It's a lot of fun, as I love working on Photoshop! I've been looking at lots of precedents to give me inspiration!

Also an update on Toilet Love - we have been working on the facial features of our characters and also their figures. They are starting to really exude personality, which is great, especially for the movie posters!

Week 7.. Preparation!

Today we were tutored on lip synchronisation on flash. Our characters in our movie Toilet Love don't have mouths, so the tutorial didn't really apply to our animation, -however it was interesting to learn anyway.

Today and tomorrow me and Victoria will be developing our scene structure. We plan on having much more close up shots of our characters to show their emotion. We agreed to not alter from our previous assignment and continue using the Adelaide Central Plaza as our film location. This is because the position of the male and female toilets are directly adjacent to each and their position at the bottom of a stairwell gives us a nice angle to film from.
Hopefully we will begin filming this Sunday.

Promotional Package

Today we're working on our Preliminary Promotional Package, which I kind of can't wait to get started on! We looked at movie posters in class today and I really liked the monochromatic designs that incorporated only red, black, white and grey. I might use that style for my final promotional work -but I'm not 100% sure yet at this stage. In any case, I've attached a few movie posters that incorporate the monochrome style.

Week 6: Progress Progress Progress

Yesterday we had to present our progress submission and today we got our feedback. I'm glad the Progress Assignment is over and done with so I can take the notes given to us and work on improving our final cut. I know the characters need major deveoping in terms of facial features at this stage, so this is something I am going to be concentrating on. I'll upload some close up still shots soon.

Toilet Love

So it's Uni holidays and I am currently working on our animation: Toilet Love.

I'm working on flash, trying to figure out how to link scenes! I've totally changed our layout for the cover because the previous designs were just not working. I've attached a jpeg of the main menu, which incorporates our new design. A few more days and we present our progress to the class! Feeling a little nervous...

Wish me luck!
