After three of the most intense weeks of work I’ve ever done in my life, Damp is finished. And I’m so proud of it! The overall mood in the crit was that this was a successful piece. Percy noted how effective it was to have Antonia as a brightly coloured digital asset on top ofContinue reading “Damp – Final Video and Crit Notes”

Damp – Mould and Emails
During the group tutorial, I saw that Alice had used monoprinting to create some of her background. It was effective in her piece, but it was perfect in terms of creating a dirty, mouldy atmosphere. Considering that some of my feedback was to find a way to make the mould more sinister, and to seeContinue reading “Damp – Mould and Emails”
Damp – Opinions
I worked yesterday to get a shot of people voicing their opinions about the damp. Everyone likes to offer advice, and it all comes from a good place, but usually they’re repeating one of the very first things it’s logical to try. The audio will sync with peoples’ appearance on the screen, eventually layering toContinue reading “Damp – Opinions”
Damp – Antonia and Progress
Below is the new progress of DAMP. I actually made this progress yesterday, being busy today with opt module research and pottery and a big tesco shop. Life comes at you fast! Something had been bothering me about the earlier set shot: the pencil was quite transparent, and didn’t have the oomph that I thoughtContinue reading “Damp – Antonia and Progress”
Damp – Intro Sequence and Poster
I worked hard at biting into some of the meat of this project today. There’s just … so much of it. I had hoped to miss the audio lesson today as we were told it would be Monday, but they’ve pushed it back to Thursday! Bums. Anyway, I got more done at home than IContinue reading “Damp – Intro Sequence and Poster”
Damp – Raindrop Shot
Things I learned today: How to alter the position of multiple clips at once: right click “Motion”, click “copy”, select another group of clips, click “edit”, click “paste”. Things I did not learn today: how to relocate lots of media at once from the same folder. It says it should do it automatically but itContinue reading “Damp – Raindrop Shot”
Damp – Mould Texture Experiments
I would desperately like to talk about my process, but it’s 00:14 and Glad You Came by the Wanted is playing out of my phone speaker next to me, so this is no environment for articulate thought. Come on Eileen has started playing now. I searched “songs to take a long shower to” on spotify.Continue reading “Damp – Mould Texture Experiments”
Damp – Project Moods and Colours
I spent this morning getting images together to provide a basis for the overall look-and-feel of Damp, outside of Antonia’s bright character. I started with Mould textures, with the intention of creating some traditional texture inspired by these that would become the living, moving mould in the animation. After that, I created a moodboard forContinue reading “Damp – Project Moods and Colours”
Damp – Character Development
I was unsure about what sort of detail to go into with the character, but I’m letting intuition guide me for once. This is what my heart wants to do! I took a look at the drawn characters from original Paddington, and through tearful eyes (he’s just so loveable, isn’t he?) I took photographs. IContinue reading “Damp – Character Development”
Storyboarding Workshop – Initial ideas and animatic
I took these images and threw them quickly into Premiere Pro, all the same length. I also put stormy weather behind it to get that slight feeling of wetness. Let’s force myself to think critically about this. What went well? I think the opening scene is strong. The first shot creates a clear scene, andContinue reading “Storyboarding Workshop – Initial ideas and animatic”
