The Trichrome project has been nominated as one of the top 5 candidates for the HKU Award 2009! Although I do not believe I have a great chance of winning (I'm up against some fascinating projects), I am still so very honored. The ceremony (free drinks and party time!) is on December 10th, anyone who is in Utrecht is invited to join! Just visit the HKU Award site.
an invite to any and all who are interested! my animation is playing at the HKU expo, an exposition of graduation work for my school. the expo is from 14:00 to 19:00 on friday, september 11, and my animation is playing in the auditorium at 17:30.
it will be at the KMT building on the oude amersfoortseweg 31 in hilversum.
It's been a while since my last post! This is mainly due to the fact that I was animating the entire time, and I didn't want to post any animation online until the film was entirely complete. By now, the animation has been complete for about a week and I had my final graduation presentation on Tuesday, August 25th. It went well: I passed with highest scores for all criteria! So I guess that brings an end to my time as an animation student. Now I am simply an unemployed animator with a European Media Master in Arts.
As for some final updates, here is the animation:
And I will also include a download link to my thesis, which I'm putting online for educational purposes. It is an investigation of animated shorts as an advertising medium and covers advertising history, animation's relevance to advertising, case studies on the Coca-Cola and Prada campaigns, and a chapter on my graduation animation. Here is the link:
And finally, I made some graphics for my final powerpoint presentation, symbolizing the evolution of the project. Just to make it a more entertaining experience for my teachers, I personified my project as a little blue creature. It worked: they said my project was very enjoyable!
it's messy, but i'm trying to get back into the animation groooove! and trying out some animation software for the first time on this laptop. (the last animation i did was on a different one.)
finally finished the first version of my storyboard for the animation. above are some random frames. and now it's on to animating non-stop for a month and a half! YEAH!!
