2D-beeldonderzoek books

The last assignement for 2D was to make a visually interesting book that is about the topic the teachers gave to us personally. The 2nd book was better, but there is room for improvement. I also have to be more critical on my own work, to judge what is good or not.

(There is a glitch in the vid at the beginning, just scroll the time-indicationbar further to view the rest normally. I dont know how to fix it yet.)

3D beeldonderzoek Semester 1 last batch

These are the last few abstract objects i made for 3D-beeldonderzoek. The green with black paper-maché piece took the longest time to make and the hanging shapes was really frustrating to put together. NO, it's NOT a MOBILE. I made it like that to show that each is a seperate, different shape, but together are a whole. But i do like it though. The last one came up from nowhere, i had a shape in my head and tried to form. It is a bit macabre, because now it looks like a body part wrapped in protective foil as if it was from a donor.

Serieel Beeld semester 1 film

I succeeded at uploading my vid on youtube and displaying it on my blog!!!

Now, about the film. After i made the flying bird stopmotion, the teacher Hans Laban asked me what i wanted to portray in it. I wanted to imitate the motion of the flapping bird, but then Hans said that it would be much more of an interesting movie if i make a story out of it. He was so right. (Looking at the stopmotion)=> Wow, that's a nice movement, but interesting? NOT!!!

So i began making a storyboard that i do want to make a film of (i have made some earlier, but they weren't good). Once i knew all the shots i had to make i started making the backgrounds and moving objects. While i was making the pidgeonhead i realised that i can re-use some bodyparts in more scenes. I also made some short vids instead of animations to speed up the production which turned out to be very quick to make. Lastly, editing all the scenes into a proper short film. At first i had some problems with WMM2 freezing every 10 min, but i solved that by reinstalling the exe file from the SP2 map.

Anyway, just watch the film and post a comment if you think the editing can be improved.

Beoordelingweek results of period 1

Long time no see!!!

Well, i have been busy the last few weeks of semester 1 to finish the assignments. Some took a lot of time, but i managed to make what i wanted for the beoordelingweek. So i don't have any regrets about my assesments. I will put photos and maybe even a few vids (after i make a youtube account) of all the works i haven't displayed here yet. However, during this second period i will post those that i have learned from, the ones that matter.

It would be easier to make a flash slideshow like the ones that Leon Romer and Markus Lindtfeld have on their blog, but i haven't got a clue yet on how to make one.

Anyway here are the grades i got for each course:

Beeld & Concept=6
Serieel Beeld=7
2D-beeldonderzoek=6
3D-beeldonderzoek=7

I will explain each of the grades with their corresponding posts i will put up next week.
What they thought of me globally was that i am a hard and disciplined worker, there was a good amount of progress in my work, i listen and process well what the teachers tell me and my amount of experimentation was good. However, i have to communicate better with the other students, read a lot more books of artists, show myself more to the class (stop beiing shy, which is hard) and be more critical on my own work on what is good and what isn't. So it's mostly psychological.

Cya next post!!!!
