Bang! competitions


Looking on the Bang! website I have found an animation competition which I would quite like to enter, unfortunatly the deadline was a few days ago.

There is always next year.

I will have to keep looking for similar competitions at film festivals.

Introduction to stop motion

Second introduction lesson, Stop motion.

To get a box to end up the other side of a house type shape.

Our group decided to go for the wierd and wonderful technique of using both ourselves and the drawings. It soon turned pretty random and resulted in a dog poo turning into a person, hey, you can do anything with animation.

Introduction to Multimedia: Pinhole Photography


It once started out in life simply holding 440ml of Carlsberg. However with the use of a can opener, pin, cardboard and a shed load of gaffa tape it finished it as a camera.

First I cut off all the light getting into the can with gaffa tape then put a hole in the front. I curled round a piece of photographic paper and went outside to find my shot.

The first shot was badly placed and I could barely see what it was of, i think this was due to covering the hole up too soon after opening it. The second shot was much better and clearly showed the building it was of.

Photos will soon follow.

Success!
