Collaborative Animation - Screen Academy Wales: To Whom It May Concern

Ian Gouldstone, Animator in residence project 2009. Collaborative animated dialogue. https://vimeo.com/6970022

"I've been working in a little group of students with BAFTA award winning animator and director Ian Gouldstone. The aim, to create a short animated conversation between Ian and the individual students. Each student (or small group) would have 24 hours to respond to a 5 second animation instigated by Ian. Everyone would then show their animations and vote on the best one to go into the final film. Ian would then take this chosen clip, respond in a similar fashion and show it to us to respond back to the following day."

Gladly, one of my clips got chosen to appear in the final film. Remembering to animate in AE instead of Flash, I played round with 3d layers. and camera movement. This was similar to the previous one in the fact it was slightly reminiscent on where the conversation had gotten to. Going through the many layers of conversation to see our and Ian's characters in the same space, but not touching, not on the same layer suggesting a tension there.

My short clips:

New year, new reguime

Right, It's been a crazy few months after graduating, now I'm settled in Twyford with some of my best mates from university. We're out of Newport and all starting on our own roads, carving our own little life out of the current financial soup of taxes and belt-tightening. With a new year comes a renewed emphasis on the continuous production of self-directed work. To help convey what sort of stuff we have on our plate, the 4 of us in Twyford all did the Games Design course at Newport, and crave to produce more output, be it modelling, animation, designs, artwork, websites, 2d or 3d games. Our initial intent was 100% a 2d android game, having inherited a game design and assets from the liquidated Dark Rock Games. We started investigating Android SDK and worked out the basic tutorial apps. This is still in the works, but our lack of programming expertise is greatly slowing us down. Gota take my hat of to the other 3 guys here, they have all secured Games Tester jobs at TTG
