Prezi Link

Here is the Prezi for games design and animation interview.

A quick screen grab of my lesson plan for the interview to be an Associate lecturer of Games design and Animation.

The task was to teach for 10 minutes but prepare for 60 minutes.

For the first 3 or so minutes I showed a prezi about games design and then taught the three interviewers to draw in proportion for the remaining time. Apparently I was the only interviewee who went over time so Ill take that as a good sign.

46 Broad posts from PP notes

Bellow are 46 individual scans form my personal note book.

All scans are my notes with a couple of diagrams wich show some of my thought process and note taking from classes, talks and some from industry professionals online that I have put down and pondered over where I am going as an artist.

Things I can do and skills to work on

Job list time management

Elements to possibly include in the folder that will be handed in...

Courses and keeping skills up to date notes...

Creativeskillset.com is a great site on which you can look up various creative job roles. very useful.

Big companies vs Freelance. I touched on this in a document (see folder for some detail)

Net working and various sites to be looked up

A quick reference to working with Royal Opera house as a set builder on my first day and also thinking of the vague links from theatre to puppets which link to the muppets and Jim Henson If your wandering ware my brain made the connection...

Time organisation andvarious key players in the hopeful future part time creative company...

Festivals and promotional experience is key to getting work out there...

An early idea of the company was called Fantastic Beasts creature workshop which is focussed around the idea of The J.K.Rowling story being made into a film which is its own franchise... I have since decided It would be a better use of this groups creative potential to create original content.

Staying organised and principles...

This refers to the 12 principles of Animation which I feel as an A.L I need to focus on.

Which need to be focussed on rather than software and programs, which anyone can pick up over time, the priciples are better taught in collage whilst at student stage. which is why I wish to make it a practical focus.

Various elements covered by the advanced art of stop-motion animation which by the way is an exceptional book.

List of job titles and descriptions of the small part time creative company: Fantastic Beasts Creature workshop...

Time frame of workers things to get done in a 6 month period.

More elements to include in the folder.

Self promo and self development.

Some of my dream places to work...

Tools and practices.

More thoughts with Danielle towards the part time creative company... need to run this by Ruth the teams Producer...

Apparently we arnt going to New designers this year but here are some notes from when we were and a little birds eye diagram of the set up.

Here is a brief scan of some notes I made for a lesson plan for a Games Design and Animation post at the same collage that I currently study.

Happily enough I got the job... Ill upload the actual printed lesson plan later..

L.A Media trip

The L.A Media trip in our second year was undeniably a fantastic experience!

Following are a selection of Photographs from the trip.

Ill put a brief description under each just to touch on explaining such things...

Palm trees were the norm on pretty much every street

Bill boards and advertising was way bigger and more pronounced in the states

Our partial group super imposed next to the Hogwarts Express.

The whole experience was a once in a life time and very inspirational to us media students... there was a lot learned and recorded from the experience that would take too long to put down here...

Whilst we were there we had a live brief (the point of the trip) to film around Venice Beach and take photos and sketch to capture the flavour of the area for a project.

The team work was insightful and interesting.
