Its Friday again...

Yes is is.
This week was pretty much devoted to our first mini project - Digital story telling.
Alot of Monday was taken up trying t o work out story ideas. Not so easy. Especially when the story has to be something that has actually happened to me. I guess alot of things happen - but nothing that interesting - from my perspective anyway - difficult

Anyway story found. Well I say story - more a series of events really - but I thought it may have some possibilities. On Tuesday a chap called Ian Staples came in to help us shape our stories into scripts. Amazing. What resulted was something that I think might actually be a script! Ian had some top advice on developing stories and ideas in to full scripts and it turns out to be quite fun. Blimey

Any joy I felt about my script on Tuesday was quickly beaten down on Wednesday when it came to recording my voice over... Oh dear. I don't often have cause to say this but I cannot act... In fact on the evidence of my recording session I can barely speak the English language....

I haven't yet had the nerve to listen back to what travesty was committed to tape...

Ah well - creating some pretty pictures (below) has kept my mind firmly off the subject. At the moment I'm just ploughing through my storyboard - creating all the images i need before I lay them out in someway next week and add the dastardly VO.

I also managed last night to finish some kind of Showreel type affair with music and everyfink!



Then I went and said good bye to my good friend Leanne who's off today to live in Ireland. Nothing to do with animation - just a bit sad.
