ECA 5 films in 10 days. Animation 4

I was really stuck with this one at one point... Not patient enough to move clip by clip for too long, so as it can be seen, there's diverse things which miraculously fitted together, mainly thanks to the opacity and overlaying changes. Without them, it all looked very separated!

Another thing that helped me was the music! It's so good! And again, miraculously fitted in the right parts.

One thing that I came to think with this piece is that maybe we need sudden shifts... Dramatic shifts, maybe, if you want your piece to seem more dinamic. As for this one, I used the wire to go up to the camera, so part of it looks unfocused in some frames. It's very few frames, but that blurriness creates this depth... And the wire revolving also adds noise to the piece.

Feels like some sort of trailer for some suspense movie...

Christmas card

This was a project were we had to make a small animated Christmas card message. I remember I listened a lot of Christmas songs back then, and did feel the Christmas spirit haha. There was also a small party in the department and we even had a small Christmas tree.

I had many problems with this animation as I didn't use a tripod and at some point I was really stuck..

Some sketches of candyland and the idea in general:

Edinburgh sketches

The monkey dance

I FINISHEEEEEED!!!!!! HA!!

Fixation things...

I tend to draw a lot of these:

- fish
- clocks
- old people
- trees
- bubbles
- cirque
-

I'll keep writing this list whenever I think of other things I tend to draw a lot...

Our project of 5 films in 10 days is almost over.

Carrots

After reading this article: lettuce article I think my recent liking to carrots is due to all the time I have spent in front of the computer some of the last days...

According to the article, your body asks you to eat what you are lacking or you need (certain vitamins and such. Would write more about it, but I need to continue with my work...). And they say carrots are good for the eyes. So I think my body knows my eyes are getting too exhausted and asks me for the thing that's in the carrots... Interesting!

I have work to update now! But I can't because of lack of time! I have sketches and animations! And they are cool animations! Although I need to upload them to my vimeo account....

We are making the '5 animations in 10 days' project and it's great! I mean, I want to shoot myself at times haha, because we just have 'till midnight for each animation, but it's a really productive project... I'll get going now... Really need to keep going on with whatever I am doing.

2012. Beginning and end.

2011 was an interesting year.

The feeling of exploding into a million of particles is still lingering, and the numbness and surreality. I can't say it's all good, I can't say it's bad.

It's complicated explaining it.. It's like tearing paper. A black sea. It's explosion. And actually, through all of this, it has been a great year.
