Info-Graphics

Todays workshop was about collaborating with Heritage Quay at the University to create a number of films. Using data and stats from the archives I created this ten second piece that is part of a final video filled with other students' work. 

I struggled to finish this within the workshop time, I find that I'm still getting to grips with After Effects and should use it and a regular basis as oppose to workshop time.

 Although I'm happy with the outcome and have definitely learned a new skill in the programme!

Todays workshop was inspired by MGMT, 'All We Ever Wanted Was Everything' a music video that incorporates animation and techniques that I learnt in todays workshop.  MGMT - All We Ever Wanted Was Everything from oneedo on Vimeo . I learnt about cameras, animating in 3D, adding textures, visual styling and z-space.  I used artwork that I had created prior to the workshop and added in textures, a page turn effect (similar to the MGMT video) lighting and cameras. I enjoyed todays workshop but wasn't overly happy with the final outcome. 3D Project_Workshop - Newcastle from Maria Lynam on Vimeo . After the workshop I created new artwork to use and created another video that I am much happier with!  I really like the page turn effect and wanted to make this the main focus for the video and thought it worked better with these drawings. I also incorporated text into the background in relation to New York City.   Below is the artwork I created, followed by the

Working with typography in todays workshop, specifically Cooper Std, Baskerville and DIN Condensed.  The main aim today was to focus on shapes, negative space and composition. I liked the idea of carefully placing each shape and creating some sort of pattern that connected each shape together, like placing two shapes back to back or one inside another curve. I plan to rework these in Photoshop using overlay, adding colour and changing saturations and hues.  I took these images into Photoshop and either used all the shapes or one in particular to create a explosions of colour! Using layers, hues and saturations and different sizes.  Baskerville Cooper Std DIN Condensed

Showreel

Today's workshop was about collecting all the work from the After Effects workshops and produce a showreel. There was a similar workshop to this one using Premiere Pro.  I've found After Effects much easier to use since I am now incorporating the skills and ideas into my studio work and I have started to develop the work created in workshop time.  It is important to bring together your work and showcase what you like best or feel is the strongest piece/s. I learnt that by showcasing everything you've ever done will only encourage potential clients to contact you for a commissioned piece using a skill that you might not particularly like or have the strongest skills to do, so by showing what you ENJOY and feel good at is important.  I plan on developing some other work that I haven't put into this showreel as I feel it isn't up to the same standard as the ones shown.  Putting more practice into something really does show and I'm feeling much mor
