Long time, no see

Alright, I havn't realy done my job here. I've got alot to do and when I finaly had some time on my own, I've been way to tired to write anything in here. Anyways, a short brief on what's been going on the last two and a half weeks or something like that.

Motion week,
Was very interesting, got 2 interesting tasks, a group task and one individual task. First out was our group task, to create a 30second long motion using either Flash or After Effects (or both) containing only 1 kind of shape. Our group got triangles so we created "our Big Bang theori".

It was a stresful and chaotic project with so many wills and not very much time to make them all come true. We still managet to pull it all together pretty well.

The Process
We started of with a meeting, deciding what we wanted to do, shared our ideas and draw a storyboard so everyone could follow what we were talking about. We did pretty fast decied what coulors we wanted to have, a spacey and kinda druged theme on the colors. Shining blue, pink, purple, red, green, orange and so on.

We realy had our hands full of stuff all the time, all from doing each movieclip to editing the music and manage to pull it all together in a nice way. The problems we had was our symbols, since we didn't name our symbols, they automaticaly named themselves "symbol1" and so on, so we all had symbols with the same name. And that kinda killed eachother. So we had to put it all together in after effects, working our way around the problem.

There was some emotions during this process, since some in our group had very diferent ideas on how this was suposed to be done. And we even got some real anger and an uppsesed person when he got voted down because of our lack of skills in flash/after effects.

Anyways, we managed to pull it all together and we displayed our project for the rest of the class and our examinator and got some good feedback, so no hard feelings afterwards. We could all breath out, go home and prepeare for our next task, our individual showreel.

Note that it can take some time to load the movie.




Ok, so after that we started to work on our own 15seconds showreel or motionreel or just any reel actually, about ourselves. For this project, we got exactly 24hours, so panic panic panci, to sum it all up.
