The Breakfast Club Trailer / including Bloopers

Final Video:

This piece was really interesting to make and I did learn alot about teamwork and understanding everyone's take on the same piece, and working together. I did alot of pre- production, such as doing all the Storyboarding, and planning the shot lists and scenes and numbering which scenes a character had. I also did the makeup for my own character and for Robyn's character Allison - and sourced the outfits. I also acted as Claire in the piece, which was interesting being behind and in front of the camera. It was great, it felt like I learnt from both ends on how to direct an actor and how to be directed as an actor. Overall, it was a great experience!

The Breakfast Club Trailer progress - this is the first scene we shot, featuring James Kearney as our Richard Vernon. He's the first scene in the trailer as well, which seemed fitting. Here is Ronan @k00282432 and I searching for the right spot.

ANIMATION

'Panda Peace' - Pixilation Short Film

We worked in a group for this project, but edited it individually. Our group consisted as Abby Crowe, Ronan Chin, Aodhan Brady, and Tyreece Chung. We used a tripod and two different phone camera using Adobe Premier Pro and the Stopmotion Studio App on the phones to edit and put the piece together.

Ronan played 'Bunny',

Aodhan played 'Chick',

and I played 'Red Panda'.

ANIMATION

Pixilation Animation Research

2/2

Other examples of Pixilation would be of Talking Heads' "Road to Nowhere", Peter Gabriels "Sledgehammer" and Tears For Fear's "Cold" videos. Talking Head's video has some great sequences, such as a man running in the corner in a box throughout the whole video, through pixilation. Like the Tears For Fear's video, the whole video is not in pixilation only for some shots. The Tears For Fear's video has an interesting scene of a head in ice reverse melting, and it's very effective.

And finally, Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel has so many elements of everything in it animation-wise, but the best example of pixilation is of course the rollercoaster shot in the video, with a chalkboard as the background and his hair moved for every frame to show movement, which is very cool!

And finally I included photos from the assigned videos. 'Neighbours' by Norman McLaren and "Luminaris" by Juan Pablo Zaramello. I found Neighbors to be very effective as it's got a very strange and eerie soundtrack, and a very strong message, even if it's two men fighting over a flower. The most interesting scene to me was the fence, and all the movement between the two characters deciding what side is theirs. It was very effective. Luminaris is also very interesting with the shadows, constantly moving with the characters, they really played with the lighting and shadows, as the film centers around a light bulb company and idea. I believe that might have been hard to do if it was special effects...

ANIMATION

Pixilation Animation Research

Post 1/2

Pixilation Animation is a stop motion technique where live actors are used frame by frame in animation. It is similar to stop motion, only using a live actor to change their pose slightly frame by frame.

I watched the assigned videos and it immediately reminded me of music videos I loved when I was younger, that being The Cure's "End of the World" music video, and other 80s music videos my dad would play on his tv.

I loved the ice sequence and the stripping of wallpaper, the sink and the plates being smashed up, and the apple in the fridge freezing in The Cure's video. Every angle and shot always has something in it, moving in the style. From the house all smashed up and the appliances surrounding the singer as he moves, to the doll in the background following him everywhere.
