so i gave up trying to motivate my group into doing some actual work, and i ended up creating an idea with michael and we drew a rough sketch of the story board.

the last two weeks

So over the last couple weeks college has been a bit slow, we finished off the "2 Faced project", and we have just started a new project doing animation.
For the animation project we've got to make up story boards and shoot a stop motion animation using plasticine, based around the idea of racism, for a competition that the charity "give racism the red card" are doing.
We've also made a cut out stop motion film with Ewan which was pretty rubbish, but it gave us a chance to practice the techniques.
And we made a stop motion film with big John, he asked us to take 80 to 100 photos of something so we can make it into a film in class, i took 150 odd pictures of me walking into college, and i turned it into a horror film. And it was the shiz if i do say so myself.
I'm going to try and get it on the tube for you, but i'll post a link later on if i manage it, cause the mac's in class are impossibly hard for putting videos on youtube.
so until next time.....
