So here goes it

The big vaulnerability test, to post the clip...

well here is the early render, hope it is fun and would appreciate any comments (although I do already know that most of the txt grabs are a little unreadable and the transitions are a little unrefined, oh and the mario stuff needs a lot of work and there is no biblio credits yet...)

Machinima v Frag Video

Anyone confused?

Hopefully this will clear it all up for you

Anathema Clip

Hey all,

This is a great atmosphere developer for anyone wanting to use some clips that bring out the 'darker broodier' side of their vids. I thought for a single piece it kept good pace interest through it. Of particular interest to me was the way the whole vid could be seen in smaller sections defined by pace, tone, music and the setting. I think that will be a useful tip for what we will be doing through our presso's.

The use of architecture to define and alter the mood through the clip I thought had reasonable impact, transferring from intimate settings to large vistas and back again. Hope it is useful

Architecture and Pain

Architecture and Pain...

Architecture transforming pain/Pain transforming architecture

The statement encapsulates two ideas, the first being the transformation of the pain of the architect, builder, client and whoever else finds themselves in the position of being involved in the creative process being transformed into the resultant physical and emotional environment. The second idea is that of the transformation of architecture when it is then subjected to pain, whether it be in the pain of breaking or demolishing the architecture, the pain of the human inhabitant transforming the emotional response to the architecture or lastly the influence of a being in pain then altering the physical environment to then remove that pain (eg. a person who stubs their toe on a step then being in pain and altering the built environment in order to stop this from happening again)

It can go a lot further, I will continue to look at it and would love any thoughts!

Back to School

Well I must admit that it is kinda nice to be back at uni and not be facing a session sitting at a drawing board or with little knife wounds from blunt Stanley blades trying to cut ridiculously thick box board at 3am.

I am sure that soon enough I will be looking back at this post wishing for those days of zappagap eyes and pastel smudges everywhere but bring on the compy for now eh!
