The Dead Trees

The Dead Trees from Media Centre on Vimeo.

We filmed the american band The Dead Trees, we filmed them this was the second time in the filmed studio so it was a scary time, because this was a real industry session with the band, i went onto the cameras and improved my camera skills which then give me more confidence to progress further. I also logged which songs the band recorded and choose the best cuts.

When on the camera i was trying to improve my camera skills, zooming, focusing, panning. At first i was a little bit nervous on camera but thought i would still give it a go so i went onto camera 2 which was the establishing shot so it was a little bit easier than the other 2 cameras.

Experimental Animation Session

Today we did experimental animation, we was using 12fps (frames per second), we did different times of animtaion using different times of equipment that were in the shots, first we used post stick notes to create whatever we wanted, i decided to use typograpghy to a certain level creating the words love, then transforming into into the word envy, at first i found this difficult because it was hard getting the post stick notes in the correct places to create the letters in the correct sizing but we had a few practices on creating the letters then we began sticking taking a picture for every post stick note we stuck down we the took a different picture. we looked at a few inspirational images of animation of the internet to get a few ideas of what you can do with animation.


We then did animation again using "junk" creating the meaning of the junk moving, we started off moving silver metal blocks onto a white canvas then we showed the blocks running onto the canvas begining to create a tower.
