My Two Storyboard Selections

Image
Source: storyboardthat.com I chose this template because I am actually using it for a summer project that my friends and I are currently working on. I like it because it gives a lot of space for quick sketches and words around the artworks, and allows space for the description/number of the scene and other notes or dialogue in the bottom box. I admit now that I should have chosen one with a bit more space for notes and dialogue, as I find these can be more informative and helpful than the roughly drawn sketches, but then again I have never studied storyboards besides today and have now realized there are quite a few things I could be doing. Source: medium.com I like this template a lot because I have never been a person who enjoys printed lines on a white page. I find they limit space and just get in the way. With this template, it allows lot's of breathing room for any scribbled notes I could want to add to each frame and clean boxes to sketch in. I also prefer the verti...

Soundscape Project

Creating Sound Effects

The work of a Foley artists is so incredibly fascinating that I cannot wait to begin creating my own sounds to put to film. for this project, these are the sounds I hope to recreate and the materials I will need for each: Lighter  - the sound of a lighter being flicked. I will need a carabiner to recreate this sound. Dog Paws (on a hardwood floor) - the sound of dog paws/claws walking on a hardwood floor. I will need gloves, paper clips and a hardwood surface to recreate this sound. Chalk on Chalkboard - the sound of words being written on a chalkboard with chalk. I am actually not entirely sure how I will choose to recreate this sound yet. I could just record this exact sound as it happens, or find another way to recreate it. I have noticed that lightly tapping the metal end of a memory stick against the metal of the Macbook desktop sounds relatively similar, but I will figure it out. Walking/Footsteps  - the sound of someone walking in a room. I will only need...

Web Design Prinicpals

In this raccoon design  by Diana Hlevnjak found on The Design Inspiration, I enjoy the cartoonish yet structured digital look of the animal's face, and the colours that Hlevnjak used in the piece. If I were adept in the art of graphic design and digital illustrations, this would be something I would try to recreate. The geometric aspect of the raccoon's face is something I find eye-catching and appealing. In this exhibit about creating textiles and furniture with material such as seaweed and algae called Waterschatten, found on Design of the World, I enjoy the colours and soft feel of the pieces comforting and aesthetically pleasing. It creates a clean look, which is something I would hope to incorporate into my website design.  Although these are sculptures made of clay, there is something about these Bizarre Human Sculptures  by Gerardo Feldstein that I can't help but love. I think it is the absurdity of them. One should be able to find the humour in the everyday, a...

https://onealbumaday.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/115-buffalo-tom-sleepy-eyed/ Balance/Contrast The album cover has a dominant image (girl) in the centre of the photo, with "white space" or background noise on either side that balances the cover. The black and white photo is juxtaposed with the the red of the band name in the top left corner. The album cover is asymmetrical.  Rhythm/Repetition (Movement/Pattern) The girl in the image is laying down with her hips positioned towards the right of the frame.  The girl's dress drapes in a similar pattern to the draping of the blanket in the background.  The dark circles of the skeleton heads coincide with the circles in the girls pigtail and the open circles found in the bubble-like text font. Emphasis/Alignment The image that acts as the focal point is the girl who takes up the majority of the frame.  There is a small amount of text next to a large image. The text in the top corner is both bolded ...
