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.

Title Sequence

Screenshots of the progress with my title sequence. Still to add the actual titles. 

 

 

Title Sequence Concept

This is my first concept. I chose the location i want to shoot for the final piece and took some shots for ideas. Using the photos i pieced this together to see if it worked well, and to give an overall impression of what the final piece will look like.

I will be going back to the filming location later this week to get the footage i need to the title sequence.

 

Gadget Show Live!

This is what you get for having an amazing girlfriend, two tickets for me and my dad to go to the Gadget Show Live at the NEC in Birmingham. Was brilliant, all i can say is thank you Aimee xxx

3Cubed

The 3Cubed brief was to investigate a confined space of about 3m x 3m x3m and portray your investigation as a creative response. I chose to create an audio representation of a my view when stood in one place. I took a series of 11 360 degree panoramic photographs in various different locations, from beaches, cities and completely flat countryside. I then took the average colours from the images and converted the R, G and B values into audio.

QQD Advert

A quick concept idea for QQD Design & Print.

Animated Alphabet

For the animated alphabet brief, we were asked to invent, film and animate a animated alphabet. It had to be completely original and hand rendered. After effects or similar software could only be used to edit the footage and merge it together. 

I used coins to create my alphabet, covering them in tipex and hand writing each letter onto both sides. The choice of tipex was due to a series of tests i did beforehand, showing that things such as paint, vinyl or spray paint reduce the coins spinning time in half, whereas tipex only slowed the coins by 0.04 of a second on average.

I used 1p coins for small letters, 2p coins for caps and 5p coins for punctuation and numbers.

We also had to create a sound for the animation, for which i recorded the coins sliding down a piece of cardboard. I sped the recording up by 2000x and reversed it to give the odd fluttery effect.

West Lindsey District Council Breastfeeding Campaign

West Lindsey District Council Advertised for a graphic designer to put together some ideas for window stickers to be displayed in participating cafe's showing that they are breastfeeding friendly. this is a new campaign to try and encourage more mothers to breastfeed, as most feel uncomfortable doing it in public.

Vicki Slinger from WLDC responded to me quickly informing me that my designs hadn't been chosen, however they were very interested and will be in contact in the future.
