Biel - L

Within my last weekend I visited the town of Biel, even though I am now back in England I felt like it would be nice just to finish of this particular journeys blog.
Considering I had nothing to do within the last weekend in terms of University work I decided to go with my friend to his home town to Biel, which is situated within the more french spoken area of Switzerland. We visited an old friend of his who has a music studio their were there both on a weekly basis play music, also the man had a really cool old 'subuteo' game about 30yrs old which i really liked allot and brought back a few memory's.

Thomas Ott - Guest in Lecture

Also within the first presentation we had today, we had a special guest 'Thomas Ott'. Swiss artist Thomas Ott makes wordless scratchboard comix, born in Berne, Ott studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich and began working in the independent comics scene in the second half of the 1980s.

It was nice to have an outside practitioner within the lecture to provide us with his opinion and comments on the work.

Animation -Final

I finished my animation on the Friday, and I had the presentation today. The presentation went well. I explained my approach and method toward the project and then received feedback in terms of possible improvement and the positive aspect of the finished animation.

Overall I was pleased with the effort put in, and i will within the next couple of weeks change a few things in relation to some of the story and maybe adjust sound a little but nothing too major just little bits here and there.

Also Two students within my class worked on the interactive website to display the animations on the web. On the website there numerous things to click on including 'cycle 1 and 2'. When you click on these you will eventually be asked to score the animations based on the 'idea' 'sound' and 'style'. This is then also viewed in a table under the category of high scores. I think they did an excellent job and i have thoroughly enjoyed the project as a whole.

I have provided some screenshots of the interface below.

I hope you enjoy it!!

(The link for the website is at the bottom)

Also on the website place in your scores to rate the animations!!!!!
