Start of the project called ‘'Experimental 30-second animation film’. Looked at the brief, then I watched some movies that connect to ‘Experimental 30-second animation film'.

I have looked some animation. I start looking at animation on YouTube called ‘save me’ created by Stewart Hilton. I thought the animation use of different mediums such as: the hand-drawing effect, using paints makes it very colourful in this animation. I also liked the use of stop motion, it works well rather doing this on an animation program such as Adobe Flash. I also enjoy the use of the sound effects and the snippets of different sounds works well with the animation. But, I didn’t like the use of text, I thought it was telling a possible story. I also felt the animation was too long, I thought it could be shorter than its six minutes.
‘Striper v0.1’ created by Max Hattler (2006). I thought the use of colours and textures, the use of the details of the road works well with the animation gives it a strong depth. The use of stop motion works well in its favour. Another thing that worked well, is that it doesn’t tell a story, which is a good thing. Another thing that is positive about the animation was the sound effects, it gives the animation even stronger in places, however the sound track was bit annoying at the end of the animtion. A negative thought would be the animation was a bit too short, it could have been a bit longer.
‘Without you’ created by Tal Rosner (2008). I thought the use of different colours works well. I like the sound effects in this animation, as it works well with the images. I enjoy the strong use of the illustrations such as the lines and shapes and the building itself. Also I liked the use of an After Effects program feel of the animation, and it works well. The only thing I didn’t like in the animation was how long the animation was. I thought it could have be shorter.

My first idea is partly based around Len Lye Post Office Ad which was called ‘A Colour Box’(1935). The idea is around the use of colours, barcodes and lines.
Programmes I want to use After Effects. Because, some of the tools in After Effects will suits what I want to achieve such as: the 3d camera tool will achieve the outcome I want to achieve.
Pros:
• Basically quite simple which will give a great outcome with the limited time I've got
• Will closely suit my style I want to achieve
Cons:
• Could be complicated if its done wrong way round

The second idea is based around close up of cars such as: rear lights, excused, head lamps so forth in an Illustrated/Ropascope way. With some sound effects of a beating of a heart. The Car Could Be Based On The Lamborghini Reventon.
Programmes I will be using possibility a mix of Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator. Possibly based around on Flash.
Pros:
• Could be great, the style and technique could work well with the sound into it.
Cons:
• Could possibly tell a story, which is a No No.
• Could possibly take too long to do within four weeks.

My third idea will be a journey around the garden, in close up views, in Stop Motion. You will see the close up of the grass, stones, shed, slide and so forth.
Programmes I will be using a mix of Photoshop and Premier/Final Cut Pro and a SLR camera.
Pros:
• A Good SLR Camera will add good details to the objects.
• Easy to film
• Textures will work well with the probs.
• Photoshop has some great techniques to improve the animation.
Cons:
• Do I need sound effects or ambient sound?
• Weather problems?
• Don't really fancy this idea much

Last week I am writing ideas down in on my computer bringing in sketches of some of my ideas into PowerPoint for tomorrow to show off my peers for tomorrow.

Not attendant today.
12/10/10
Today I have showed my ideas to my peers. They thought that the first idea with the barcode would be a better idea to use. So I will be using the barcode idea.
That's the journal/blog for now, next blog soon, promise.
