This is a commercial I recently worked on with the Manchester United player Antonio Valencia.
So over the past few months i have been struggling to work on my website with the uni work on top of it. I have also been quite stuck with moving from flash sites as i am now completely against using flash for websites. so now i want to start incorporating some html instead and by forcing myself…
Really nicely made and produced short documentary about this years record store day in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
Directed by Charlie Newland
So Thursday was a very productive day. We did some sketchbook work, went to Projekts MCR to do some filming (also went to have a look/find the skatepark In Platt Fields Park…No Luck) and took some pictures also for documentation. Anything else??
Oh yes, I got my marks for my last assignment. Well…
Design diary 7 (Unit 9)The technical issues have arrived.
After trying to shoot the horse movement frame by frame, I found the result was too static and jerky. Therefore, I decided to use After Effects to animate the horse walking.
To make a horse walk realistically is not easy. Unlike people with two legs, the horse not only has four legs but also more joints, so I must first understand the sequence of leg movement. During my research I found this useful image on the internet. It’s like an instruction to tell me how to animate the movements of these four legs.
After a few hours to figure out these tiny legs on the computer, here is the test shot of a horse walking sequence. It’s not perfect and I still need to make the horse come to a stop properly.
I have added an ‘Inventory’ to my Web App, which allows users to look at which components they have used, and how many they should have left. I have developed this feature as i think it will prevent confusion - The images/components will change or disappear as they are used.
Here is a quick storyboard i have put together with the images i have used for my application. I intend on animating the majority of these images, this is something i will do at a later stage. I will be using an HTML 5 plug in for illustrator to add motion to each section, however with this software being relatively new i have yet to use it - this is something i will be doing over the next few days.
Progression
I have now managed to create and develop a ‘static’ version of my IKEA web app, and im very pleased with the outcome. I have created this using mainly ‘Text wrangler’ (Free downloadable text editor) This now works as an online application where i can experiment with what i have produced, E.G making sure my chosen functions work properly etc.
Things i have taken into consideration when building this;
- Appropriate size and resolution to fit IPhone screen
- Navigation
- Inventory screen
Since choosing my subject matter for Unit 9 i have been looking for a product that i would like to use for my prototype. After scanning through IKEA catalogues and web pages i decided to go for the ‘Pollo’ chair. Notably one of the most popular items from the ikea range - im sure that everyone…
