In 3D class we are creating our own versions of sackboys that are going to apear in the soon to come big hit Little Big Planet game for PS3. This is going to be a fun project because i am looking forward to get this game later this year. It is funny because earlyer this year i have been watching vidio clips of this game while Nikki next to me has been telling me to stop mucking around and to do my work, but now jokes on her i have been doing my work the whole time.

Last weekend i watched the movie phonebooth on dvd. It was directed by Joel Schumacher and stared Colin Farrell. It turned out to be a very injoyable movie with most of the 90 minute movie focused on the one character in the one scene. Colin Farrell shows how good of an actor he is in this film with the great acting skills and distictive emotions he was able to carry the audience throughout the film and by looking behind the scenes in the special features you are able to see how good of an actor he really is. The thing that suprized me most with this film is that it only took 10 days to film. They used huge light reflectors on the sides of the buildings to get the extra light when they started to loose it at 4pm in order to stretch out the days.

In the past couple of months now i have been thinking of my next Personal Project. Last years Animation was primarily to show my skills such as character creation, story telling, animation, sound editing, lip syncing, voice acting, background development and 3D modeling all within a short 3 minute animation. In which had primarily gotten me into chisholm Tafe’s advanced diploma of multimedia and my job as an IT interactive assisstant in which i love doing because all i need to do is sit around creating animated diagrams of air compressors. But for my next Personal Project i shall incorporate the 7 step outline allowing my characters to have more dialog and character development throughout the animation and not just action scenes with no background information or reason that these characters are witnessing.

We are currently creating small sets for future stop-motion animation and i do not believe i shall be finnishing on time for all i have done is the modeling and have not yet started texturing so hopefully i will be able to buy some sprey cans on thursday and give it a good look for tuesday. all in all making this set has been fun so far and cannot wait to get it finnished.
