Hot Box

The Image below that i created was inspired by the film "The Fountain", the way the VFX artist created the end sequence with just chemicals and filming them. I found that this had added a great look to the film and was interesting because it introduced me to a new technique that i had never seen before.

Interactive narrative finished

Below is the finished link of my final Interactive Narrative. I am quite happy how it came out since i changed my narrative allot from my last topdown design due to the reason that i hated parts of the story because it felt way too repetative. I think i have the right amount of narrative as well as combat.

OneShot

We were told that for this project we would all be placed into groups and create a 1:00 Min long OneShot film.

Fortunatly i was lucky enough to have alot of creative minds in my group, but i soon found out that having alot of strong minded, creative people in one group can be a nightmare. After alot of  "creative" spitballing we came up with a good idea that we all thought was intreaguing an stylish but it had to have a good exacution to work.

We decided to have a comical documentry styled film about paper birds swimming down this river.

here is the film we made using Adobe software, Soney Z1 with tripod and a iPhone recording device for the sound effects.

Group Pixilation

Pixar Pixilation

Here is a test that i wanted todo to see if it is at all possible to recreate pixars amazing animated lamp.



I think its not too bad, not bad at all for a first atempt but i really need to make the animations a bit smoother.

MY PIXILATION/STOPMOTION

Here is my  first attept at creating a pixilation focused around magic tricks. I want to see if i can perform basic magic tricks and give them a whole new look and feel with the powers of pixilmation. Since pixilmation was created and used for doing special effects back in the early day of film it would seem that this would be a good theme.

i need to correct some of the camera work and put a few more basic tricks in. I want it in colour and with a better soundtrack for it. im going to try and fix these issues in my next video.



Here is my finished video and im really liking the look and feel of it. i think i have hit the mark whith what i was aiming for but if i were todo it again, i would clean up some of the bad camera work and i would add a few new tricks not just using cards, maybe a rabbit out of a hat who knows !!!

Games:

Here are 3 videogames that i think have made a really interesting impact on this little planet of ours:



The CALL of DUTY franchise has been going for quite some time without much of a following. That soon ended when CALL of DUTY 4: Modern Warfare broke through our atmosphere and landed in our disk drives. This game set the boundaries for all first person shooters due to the way Infinity Ward made the gaming experience more interactive; I mean having the user use the left trigger to aim instead of an aimbot was pure creative genius. They also made multiplayer far more enjoyable than any other game on the market and dude to its popularity it remained £40 longer than any other game.



CALL of DUTY: Modern Warfare 2 has only just recently come out but it already has broken the most copies of a game sold over 1 day. This game shows that you can take something that already amazing and turn it into something GODLY. This was done by Infinity Ward stripping back what really made CALL of DUTY: Modern Warfare tick; why it was so popular. So infinity ward did there correction and came up with a Hollywood worthy story which is very believable, nothing you would see in a bond film. Infinity ward then wanted to make multiplayer more interesting and the only way to get feedback was to ask the fans, which is exactly what they did, and know they have an amazing multiplayer experience which has more interactivity than you can shake a controller at.




The new assassins creed 2 game looks really exciting. What i loved about the old gamewhich i see in this game is that it keeps true to the history of that period whilst adding a real science fiction twist. The reason why i posted this video up was because this game is original theres not a singal copyed version out on the market, i love depth of this game and the high level of interactivity, you are the assassin. The great thing about UBISOFT is that their games always deliver a highly interactive experience. A good example of this would be the New Assassins Creed website which is shown in my previous post., also the new mini serries which ties into the games story.

The mini series is shown below:
