Today we used the rotobrush in class. We had to make the pink line go around the character. When I did I, I then duplicated the layer and stuck the graffiti between the two layers. Like that^.  T'was banter. Would recommend to a friend. 

We practised using NukeX. I sort of got the basics of how the nodes worked. Then we got the camera taken into Maya and finally we stuck it all together in AfterEffects. This is a photo of the crates in the carpark. I think I managed to figure out the basics pretty well, but Maya kept crashing a bit so that was annoying.

Georges Schwizgebel, from Switzerland, created The man without a Shadow in 2004. The film was made using the paint on glass technique. The story follows a man who sells his shadow to the devil for wealth and a woman, only to find that people don't like him without a shadow. The film has many complex transitions by messing with techiques such as colour and prespective. The man without a Shadow won awards at Cannes Film Festival and the Zagreb World Festival of Animated Films. Run Wrake made Rabbit in 2005. It is animated in the style of old kids' picture books. The story is a parable that critiques consumerism and loss of innocence.  The Black Dog's Progress was made in 2008 by Stephen Irwin. It is made up by drawings on a series of flickbooks that were later digitally animated. The flickbooks are on a constant loop so the audience can see the past and present at once. The plot tells the story of a black dog that is a stray.  Regina Pessoa made First film The Ni...
