Mail Art

a series of 4 squares of textured card, all featuring a different question that was hand transferred using acetate. attached to each question was a piece of charcoal, when posted the movements of the postal service cause the charcoal to answer yes or no to the question.

Final Android App

This is my final piece that i submitted for my self negotiated brief. I wrote myself a brief to produce a fully working smartphone app. Originally i didnt know how hard it actually is to do! After a lot of hard work and research into java coding i managed to put together this very simple but very much working currency converter app.

3D Testing on Youtube

Uploaded a short clip from part of my title sequence to YouTube using the yt3d:enable=true tag coding. I exported two versions of the clip, one normal and one with the camera offset to the right slightly. Then placed them together and re-exported it as a single file with the clips side by side. Ive not managed to get hold of a pair of anaglyph glasses to view it. Tried it using the cross eyed method and i can see it fine but just doesn't look any more 3d than the original?

Android App Development

Ive now developed the original Hello World app into a working currency converter. just by creating these simple apps im gaining a lot of knowledge about java developing, hopefully not too far from a more in depth app. Its surprisingly hard to even create a very basic application using the java coding.

Android App Development

Got the Hello World app working and tested it on my phone, it works! first big step towards the development of a fully functioning app.

Final Title Sequence

My final title sequence created for a uni project. We were asked to choose a film and re-create the title sequence for it, hopefully impoving on the original.

I chose the film Session 9, based around an asbestos removal crew who are employed to remove the asbestos from an old abandoned metal hospital.

I used Nocton RAF hospital in Lincolnshire as my shooting location, where i shot some gorgeous HDR images.
These were then cut up and projected onto 3dimensional planes in After Effects, allowing me to move the virtual camera however and wherever i liked (within reason!).

I also used my Animated Alphabet typography for the text featured in the sequence which i created using spinning coins.
