Well im back from the 3 day hoilday that i had. (had to go to a+e to get hand x-rayed)
had to rest hand for 3days without doing typing, but now its find just feel abit of pain >.<

well today we started with an unusual video today. but i thought it was kinda funny so it was a good pick.
then I started doing some quick flash animation i thought that i would use some of the drawing that i did but ive been away so im quiet far behide and i just used pictures of editing them to fit an animation.
i was think of puting in a background but i had a problem with then images they all had a white background. so i just though i would just make like a demo of what my animation is going to do.
then i was going to draw them out separt. then i was gonna have a drawed version of my demo.

overall i think that what i did today is quiet good, I did some animation in my school, but this was abit different we just use sprites and background soo it was alot easyer to make an animation.
in this unit we have to make an animation from scratch.

in keyskills i finished my prep sheet which i had to finish. i found this abit hard because we did the prep sheet quiet a while back now and still i remeber parts of the sheets which we did
today i edited the storyboard not by much just added in lines and changing part of it.
next i started to create a idea of my animation i first started getting used to using flash because i havent used it for quiet a while.
then i started to create a basic character on flash. just drawing a basic shape on flash i found quiet hard.
then i though about sounds (start of it & the end) i was thinking about putting funny sounds into the flash animation.

today we did some flipbooks i done a flip book on a bomb it didnt come out the way i planed but it still worked and i think it was ok.
then i started on the storyboard.
i thought the best thing to do a story on was stick animation (fights and stuipid things happening)
overall today i think that it has been fun, i thought that animation would just be on the computer but at the moment its more hand drawing/ copying to flash or photoshop.

unit 6 animation taught by sarah.

today i have been listening to the tutor talk about her work.
Little Princess
adverters in MTV Etc.

Then i started to make a thaumatrope mine when not as well as i thought i drawed a dragonfly and when i finished it it was going left to right (its was because it was a big step into animation)
then i finished my research for unit 6 animation.
then at the end of the day we watched a few videos .
Matrix style animation(flip book)
flipbooks were invented in the 18 hundreds, including the muoscope by thomas edison.
ive enjoyed this lesson because I dont like using the computer every lesson and this lesson was abit different.
hand making thaumatropes

today i have finished the recording of my modcast and we when to a new room on the 10th floor and after we did all of it and when we got back we found out that there was one missing soo we will have to do the recording tommorow.
then i started researching on script writing i found out some research but not alot to finish the research.
i like doing recording because i thought that it would be easy but its load harder than it looks.

today I read the script that rob made and then we started to record the first part of the script i made a few mistake but after about 3 mores i started to make less mistake and after about the 5 try i made a part which we was goning to use for our podcast which jamie was going to edit and take parts out (like pages, me turning to page to read the rest of the part, breathing, people talking in the background/hiss's.
then i started to do some research on presenter (what makes a good presenter) (what skills you need).
etc.

• A clear voice.

• Self-confidence.

• Interpersonal skills.

• For studio or OB work, the ability to keep presenting while hearing instructions through an earpiece.

• Improvisation skills.

• The ability to work calmly under stress.

• In most cases, some knowledge of the program topic (e.g. sports, etc).
