Pixilation Test!

So I've done a lot of work today...

Here is a test pixilation piece I've just made. It shows you how to create an Origami ball!
Took me a GOOD FEW HOURS, but I'm not very happy with the lighting as you cant see some of the more complicated folds!

Haha, it probably doesn't help that I'm wearing a white top either..but I've definitely impressed myself here! Enjoy!:



This was A LOT of fun!

My NARRATIVE!!

I just HAD to get this out of the way...!!!!!

Wow....so i got bored towards the end of this....as you can tell...but im still pretty happy with the result.
One thing I will be adding however is a load bar at the beginning so people know whats happening...rather than staring at a blank white screen.

Enjoy!:

I love it! It was done by Simon Newbold, so be sure to check out his blog here!



Stay tuned...Im off to finish my Narrative!

Further Inspriation

Okay, so apart from Mallet Girl, which i mentioned at the start of the project for her awesome comic style...I also found another piece of work from last year called:

The Adventures of Hairlock Holmes:













I really like how simplistic and clean the animation looks!

This was done by Kane Pickerill, check out his blog here.

Back on IT!!!

WHAT have i been playing at!!!???

Right, so for some reason ive been neglecting this blog for the past 3 weeks...and I dont know what ive been playing at...
Now I have to go back over all the work ive done and document it!

So i became pretty engrosed in this Interactive Narrative Project, and I was working on it for a solid 2 weeks. Here are some of the images I created for the work:

I decided pretty early on that I was not going to create something mediocre, so I began some heavy research and testing into basic animation techniques such as motion and classic tweens. (Ive worked entirely on Flash CS4, so the features available are slightly different)

I was also able to learn a lot of features involving the user being able to input text, being able to save this as a variable, and displaying it later on in the timeline. HOWever, to enable this witihn my own piece I would have needed to use AS2, whereas the code we were given for buttons to switch to various screens was based off AS3!

Was nice to learn about it though!


As i progressed through the project, and as you work your way through the narrative you can easily notice how much I have improved.
My continual use and submergence with flash allowed me to create more complicated animations and at the same time my drawings also improved.
(Each image took me almost 2 HOURS each!)

But hopefully it will all be worth it! =)
