Week 5: The Client Pitch

Mad Mack's deals are MAD! Especially on apocalyptic motorbikes. See? I found the funny in that exercise. That's the only funny I found in this whole week.

The thing with me is that there IS no creative process if I'm spending too much time being annoyed and bothered. Yes I'm still stuck on that. I do that both personally and professionally. I'm useless.

Week 4: Introduction to Temporal Identity

So we were set the task of giving our favourite location a tagline today. In the end I chose the beach (I do love the beach) and it was pretty easy to give it the tagline of "Get swept away".

Don't think about it too hard. I know getting swept away at a beach is a bad thing.

But once I got to that, I kind of ground to a halt. I was really reaching the point of annoyance with the software. I just don't UNDERSTAND IT. I could say that I'm one of those tempermental creative types that needs to have a peaceful mind to make anything remotely artistic. I could also say that I'm lazy and irritated that I have to get up at 6am every Friday and get annoyed as all hell.

I'm the kind of person who likes the best of both worlds.

Week 3: Introduction to Kinetic Text

This was the first week that I really got to have a good play at After Effects. The idea that I can link objects like text and their behaviors to patterns in audio waves. Obviously that's the key to getting the final assignment at its best. Yes, I'm already thinking about it. It's the sort of assignment I've always wanted to do. If I could I would love to do the song A Distinctive Sound by Gotye, but I'm aware that it's a copyright issue.

I'll work on it.
