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.
