Depending on who’s reading this, you may or may not be aware of the infamy of the literary trope that goes: two people try to book at a full hotel, but there’s only one double room left, forcing them to share the bed. It’s famous because it’s cheap, and usually used in fanfictions as aContinue reading “Visual Diary – Only One Bed?!”

Paddington – File Format Problem Solving
Today I threw random media into Premiere Pro and exported it in the Apple Pro Res 422 HQ format. I got the sense as I did this that I had been prepared somewhat for this by previous experience – that awful day where my videos got exported in Virtual Reality for NO REASON did, admittedly,Continue reading “Paddington – File Format Problem Solving”
Visual Diary – Bound (To Falling in Love)
With some reluctance, I dragged myself up to make another reel. Instagram is absolutely kneecapping still image posts – I’m convinced it’s hiding them – and I am only receiving scraps of engagement on moving image – that is, reels. Of course, I ended up enjoying this. I got to animate a scene from theContinue reading “Visual Diary – Bound (To Falling in Love)”
Visual Diary – Drake (and, more importantly, George)
You may realise that the completion of Drake’s design (or at least, something working) means that all five characters have designs in this universe now. Which means I can start sketching up some cool scenes without limitations now! Drake meets George while still on Mytikas, his home city in the clouds. The culture on Mytikas,Continue reading “Visual Diary – Drake (and, more importantly, George)”
Paddington – Sweet Lord, I Got Chosen
Roderick told me yesterday that my submission was one of the three picked to go forward. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. But now to business. Today, I went to uni in the hopes of gathering as much information and help as I could before term ended. I had a fantastic conversation with Roderick, who wasContinue reading “Paddington – Sweet Lord, I Got Chosen”
Performance Project – Finale!
On Thursday, we wrapped up the performance project and put on the show! The show was recorded on Instagram Live, and has been retained as a video on the account. I appreciate that this is the wrong orientation. To be honest, I had a complete nightmare with the Broadcast and Documentation team at the end,Continue reading “Performance Project – Finale!”
Christmas Cake!
Just a quick feature because it took a lot of work – I made my first Christmas Cake ever this year! Mum and I made the mixes together, and I bought the cake back to Brighton. I fed it with Brandy every few days, and today I iced it!
Lo-Fi Printmaking: Lino Progress
I mocked up my Jester as a final image in Procreate. This featured two layers: the lino layer, and the colour layer underneath. I saved both and uploaded them into indesign at exactly the same size, to use as guides to creating stencils and lino. I thought carefully about bleed, and my colour layers goContinue reading “Lo-Fi Printmaking: Lino Progress”
Visual Diary – Cleric, Academic, Bounty Hunter
My plot can only come visually to life once I’ve nailed these outfit designs – or at least, created a good base that can evolve with the work and plot. I absolutely love this one. I made more iterations of this than any of my others so far, really working it to get an outfitContinue reading “Visual Diary – Cleric, Academic, Bounty Hunter”
Visual Diary – Enchanted Gloves?
What a delight this image was to make. It’s exhilarating getting closer and closer to a point where I can make people see what I see in my head. With this AU, there’s been a big jump in quality, just like I saw over summer with the Jester AU. It needed the vampire AU andContinue reading “Visual Diary – Enchanted Gloves?”
