Technical Nonsense

Spent most of today trying to get the Showreel of my animations to work. Had to convert files from .avi and .mp4 to .mov which took most of the day alone. I've added fading to black transition slides of 1second, which allows the viewer to comprehend each short animation before the next appears. Also edited a few other animations using iMovie. Happy with the end result. It looks professional and I think it shows everything the Unis are looking for.


Digital Visual Diary


After alot of thought, I've finally come up with an object I feel represents one of the most important people in my life for my digital visual diary (which I will begin for 3 weeks very soon). Because I hope this person will continue to be around me quite a lot, I had to choose something that I have almost constant accessibility to so I can take new photos all the time. I chose a mug of tea... for these reasons:

• I very very much like tea and would find it difficult to be without it
• It's relaxing
• It makes me feel better
• It's almost always around me, or not very far away from arriving
• It contains a drug.
