Here is the first part of the video i have remixed, this is before the kinetic typography has been added, i am pleased with the result of the piece so far.  towards the end of putting this video together, i got more adventourous with the remixing and started to loop the footage a bit more.  I think for my next video which i hope will improve on this one i will do this looping more.  For the kinetic typography that i will add in, i will use a similar typeface to the one used in the title sequence in the film. I will also try to age the typeface as well so it blends in well to the footage.  I like breathing new life in to old films like this, i think a challange would be to do this with a much more modern film and see if it looks as good.

Everything is a remix

Everthing is a remix part 1
everything is a remix part 2

This is an interesting trilogy of videos by a guy called kirby ferguson.  I found this on vimeo when i was researching remixing videos, which is something i want to get into using after effects.  My plan is to remix old films like the postmna always rings twice or casablanca, the really old black and white films and playing with them, creating a two minute snipet of the film that plays with the actions the actors are saying.  Or how they sound.  This doesnt make sense but later today i am going to try and priduce a draft version of this, to show it clearly.  If this goes well i want to include kinetic typography to this aswell.

Duck that was a vector from workshop

Here is a duck vector illustration i did in one of petes workshops. I am pleased with it but it took a long time to achieve this illustration, since then i have gone away n practised drawing in lustrator. I can now draw faster n cleaner images. I was set aback hy how hard it was to draw such a simple drawing in the workshop, that i went away and set a target to learn how to draw quickly and to draw professional looking images in illustrator.

workshop

This is an image from a workshop we did with pete on creating a image from scratch in photoshop. Compared to the illustrator workshop, i found this workshop a hundred times easier. The only new thing that i learnt was going to the render option and adding lighting into an image. Even though i feel happy using photoshop, i now that there is still loads to learn and not to stop learning stuff about it just because i feel comfatable using it.

Spine team pages

train diagrams detailed

Above is a link to a really good website that has very detailed diagrams of electric locomotive trains, this i could use for content on my pages or use in artwork for the webpages.  i will play around with both.  I am not sure though how i could connect this with the nervous system.  I could maybe have a diagram of the nervous system layered on top? or have the two different diagrams and show the differences.

drafts of designs for my individual pages

 

Here are some drafts of some designs for the website.  These will be used on my three pages for the human body website, where i will write about trains energy needs and how the nervous system is similar to trains travelling all around the world. i prefer the image on the top, this is because the tube map layered on the image looks like nervers or veins underneath the skin. I think this will look good with the design that we have set out for our pages.
