Catalogue and Web Images
Apr 21st
I spent yesterday going through my work to find the images that will be on the Degree show website. I also created the final image that will be printed in the catalogue.
Below are the three images I created. I first made the middle one but wasn’t entirely happy so I tried moving the middle two images so they are above each other (the right image).But I wasn’t happy with this either so I tried a far left design. I’m still not sure which one to go for? but I think the left design works the best.. what do you think?

Images for SPP3
Mar 18th
For the second part of the SPP3 module I have to submit eight images that reflect my best work. I’ve spent quite a lot of time searching through all my work that I’ve produced over the past three years to find the stuff I’m most proud of. I thought I would include a selection of images from different mediums such as photo, video, 3D etc..
The Images have to be 11cm x 11cm at 300dpi
Here are eight images I have chosen so far..
Style one: One image with enlarged image as background. This works well because the original images were too wide to take up the entire square.
Style two: Straight up image. A little less interesting but it works for these images.
Style three: Seven shots of one project arranged in this order. By having multiple images of one project you get a better understanding of what its about.
Style four: again seven images of one project but enlarged images on the left. I think the theatre project below is my favourite image out of them all.
Please tell me what you think. This is pretty important because one will be printed in the final year catalogue!
SPP3 – Task B: Four post-graduate courses
Feb 26th
The second part to this module is to find four post-graduate courses that I could apply to.
This was a little harder to find the relevant courses. However after talking to course mates I looked at the courses they had found and I noticed that the same institutes did courses relevant to me.
I would most like to get on a course at Escape Studios because this looks like a great place to work and the chances of getting a job afterwards are really high, the down side is that it cost £8,750
Bournemouth – Digital Effects
Escape – Full time compositing course/ Evening compositing course
Teesside – Animation, Games & Computer Graphics
NFTS – SFX/VFX
I will be mock applying for the course at Escape although NFTS has an application form you can download and fill out. This is useful to see what the requirements are likely to be to get on a post-grad course.
SPP3 – Task A: Find Four full-time jobs
Feb 26th
For this module I have to find four real world jobs and produce a mock application to one of them. I have a spent quite a lot of time looking at the companies that appeal to me most. I have found six companies based in London that are currently offering places as 3D artist/compositor.
At the moment Framestore or Lumiere are the most likely the ones I will ‘apply’ for although the work Jellyfish produce is really cool but there isn’t an application form or any advertised vacancies available at the moment.
The Mill – Nuke Compositor/ Runner
Double Negative – Compositor/ Runner
Prime Focus – Junior compositor
Frame Store – Compositor
Jelly Fish – Compositor
Lumiere – 3D/ 2D compositors
This task has been useful, I have realised that if I actually want to apply for one of these jobs and have a chance of getting in I need to learn Nuke and Maya as these seem to be industry standard and essential. Something to do after I graduate I think.
