Initial Idea (1) :
Volcano baby!
Basically, a Volcanic Dragon.
-Volcano explodes creating ask clouds,
-villagers near by evacuate the area.
-DURING THE DAY,the area is still covered by swarms of media reporters, in helicopters, by foot, S-UV's.
-BY NIGHTFALL, the media leaves to stay at their hotels, and... THE DRAGONS come out to play.
-One lame dragon gets bullied, threatened to be thrown into the volcano that now active because he cant fly.
-Hes on the edge of the volcano, as the gang of other dragons get closer and closer to pushing him off.
-*Looks down at lava, rocks fall, turn to dust.
-He finally trips
-VOLCANIC BABY DRAGON APPEARS
-Lifts him back up into the surface,
-Kicks some butt
-Becomes friends with the lame dragon. Realizes its because he woke up, the ashes blew up, awakening the volcano, which made the villagers leave. Because it was an empty village the dragons came out to "play" but in reality, they've been destroying the place .
-Volcanic dragon decides to say bye and go back in the volcano- and slumbered under the night sky.
-Next morning, everything clears up, the volcano becomes stable, and villages come back.
-The lame dragon is bullied no more, and instead, he gets a new friend =D
(This idea came from the Ash Clouds. It was constantly on the news, and apparently ASHES were falling from the sky at the time, but I really didn't see anything.)
Initial Idea (2) :
Phill and Bill
A story of two fat rats, both in their own worlds, and how ignoring each other could result in awkward situations.
Phill - A fat rat whos delusional, hes an online dating site freak. And hes quite popular =O Since hes so popular online, he believes hes the most smexy being on earth, so he sings and dances by himself while complimenting his charms...
Bill - Another fat rat, but this time, hes a games addict. Hes a worldwide champion at COD, has totally given up with reality and believes his place is on the "fields".
-Phill decides to show his true self to his online GF, hes nervous, finally does so. However
-His virtual "GF" then freaks, screaming how ugly the rat is, and if it was a joke
-She panics, webcam drops and breaks.
-Hes then very emotional
-starts crying.. drops off the human chair, and smacks his head hard on the ground.
-he den goes a bit nutz, starts flirting with every mouse in the office.
-Until he gets up to the mouse his friends using to play COD.
Initial Idea (3) :
Fruit and Veg at WAR
(Had to cook dinner that night, and the kitchen was strangely FILLED with fruit and veg.)
Initial Idea (4) :
Kawaii Not
(re-created animated sequences from the book)
Initial Idea (5) :
Iron Monkey
A tale of how a true martial artist got frustrated, and in convenience of cooking a bit of his lunch, he find his own kung fu style. Which gives him the title of Iron Monkey. He uses a wok and ladle as his weapons to develop a new fighting style that surpasses his enemy.
(Watched Hercules that night on TV, then felt like watching IRON MONKEY a Chinese version of the Robinhood story, but with martial arts instead of bows and arrows.)

First Post^^
Hellooo~~
and
Welcome to my 3rd Year blog^^
To give a brief on my current situation.
As 2nd year students at Ravensbourne, We were given a project to work on through our long summer. The project was to help us develop ideas for our FINAL PROJECT during our time at Ravensbourne. We aimed to get a PITCH and perhaps a storyboard ready for our first day of term.
In response, I gathered a few ideas from just everyday life. From news -tv - youtube and people generally around me. During my break, I spent a lot of time exploring the world of photography, capturing various angles, trying to grasp skills which would make my cinematic skills improve, and generally help me create more diverse; perspective angles. I've been going through many blogs, and people flickr galleries and deviantarts. Its helped inspired me to create something a little more interesting. In my 2nd year at Ravensbourne and even watching a few student animations on aniboom. I've noticed. Since many students try to capture emotion and movements so much, they use basic camera movements. I wanted to change this. I understand how easy it is to fall for Maya's straight camera angles, and how frustrating it is to plan more dynamic angles, however, if I was to capture this essence, this complexity in my 3rd year animation. I should be able to create a true master piece.
Many of the more success animations I've seen online, were the ones that played with perspectives or colour more.
For me to capture more diverse angles, I needed create a super storyboard, one with many camera angles which flows in between the same environment as films have. Since I wanted to create an animation with action and running I needed to practice drawing perspective angles more. So I set an aim for myself to draw at least a page of dynamic figures, working with proportions, controlling and figuring out the larger objects in front to the objects behind. At this point I really missed Life Drawing with Dan in first year. I relied on watching cartoons and coping the more interesting poses, drawing people around me and using posemaniacs.
During my holiday, I also found a new program, a few actually, but one I actually started using almost everyday. Its apparently the Japanese version of Painter, However, I found its much smoother. Its actually alot smoother to work with, and its finally in English! Even so, I still use Photoshop, since many textural brushes don't exist in the new software. Instead, you are able to make more complex brushes to imitate everyday art equipment like pencils, crayons and such.
To sum up::
I used my summer to explore the world of Photography, playing with diverse perspective angles , and trying out other colour compositions -such as lomography.
and
Working hard on drawing perspective angles with correct line qualities to improve my pre-production work and find my own style.
