Seven Deadly Sins

So far, I have been thinking about what kinds of videos I want in the project.

I have done some research into the seven deadly sins, but I can't print it because my printer has decided to die on me! So everything is currently computerised which does make it a lot easier to organise.

I am going to put up some posters to advertise for some actors to appear in my project, but first I need to have a completed list of what is happening in each scene.

I'm going to start my storyboards this week, and get as much of the paperwork done over reading week so that I don't have to worry about it so much.

Change of plan!

Mr Penguin is going to have to wait.

I have now decided that I want to do an experimental video on the Seven Deadly Sins.

I have had a look at work done by others on After Effects on YouTube, and found some really nice videos -

I really like this person's work -

Jesse Richards

I'm going to film some scenes to represent the seven deadly sins and import them into Final Cut Pro and edit them into seven mini films, and then create an experimental video from them in After Effects using the same techniques that I have seen in the videos above.

Where to set it?

I created a poll for people to help me decide where to set my animation, but so far only one person has voted. I'm going to give it a few more days then decide myself where I should set it.

The penguin is a bit of a pain to make right now, I'm starting to think 3D is not the best idea! So far I have a grey blob that doesn't resemble anything, let alone a penguin!

Penguin!

I have decided there are not enough penguins in the digital world, and so I am going to re-populate it with a 3D animation of a penguin.

I did want to have a morph-like man in my animation, but I think having a penguin will make it look cuter.

I found this on YouTube, it's brilliant!
Do penguins fly?

I have had a little look at Pixar, and I want my animation to be in the style of their animated shorts, which tend to be about 5 minutes long.

I found this Pixar short which I first saw a few years ago at the start of a Pixar film, and I love the comedy behind it.
