time for a catch up
well its been over a week now since my last post so i thought it was about time for me to catch up on things iv been doing, il be adding pics later to show some of what ive done.
after doing a load of research on Hideaki Anno who is the animator i chose to do my essay on i finished my essay. early for once, which is really surprising as its usually the night before the deadline im writing it at 3 am. this time i have it finished and i have proof read it and i think i have done pretty well so im going to check with phil and see what he thinks and if i should re-write any of it.
apart from finishing my essay i have seen a new look on uni after my huge cockup of my last project. im now really enjoying uni even tho its a big culture change for me and im sure im not the only 1, but im now looking at what i can learn from uni and not trying to show what im good at. i also want to find out how much its going to cost to get a character model created like the 2 creatures in the cabnets for a character im working on in my spare time.
anyway im ranting on about random things now so back to the work lol, iv done a lot on my story boarding which im now just refineing and finding sequences to add between my scenes, i have also realised that quite a bit of my animation i can re-use and this will save me a lot of time drawing.
anyway the only reason im on here atm is because i cant sleep so im using this time to get some work done and update my blog, my next update will be as soon as my cam finishes charging so hopefully tomoz if i remember, anyway im off to try and get some more sleep, gnight.

eyes for teapot
whilst thinking of my teapot and how i could animate is and give it character i was thinking about adding eyes, this is still an idea and im not sure if i will use it yet but i got some pictures of eyes to help me with my character sketches. the images below are of different types of eyes which might be useful in my character sets.
ideas and research
over the past 2 weeks i have been thinking about my idea and doing research, i have also now finished my essay which i have chosen to write about hideako anno the animator for the evangelion anime series and he has worked in studio ghibli in all areas of animation and production.
i have been looking at ideas for my nimble teapot so i looked up nimble and definitions and this is what i found.
i found all of theseusing definitions from google and i have an idea for a story now which i will be writing up later as i am still linking scenes together and making the story better.
as for research i found a load of images for teapots and i got some ideas from beaty and the beast as i watched the film. here are some of the images i have found,
these images are in no particular order.
the image above i chose because it could be an idea to add feet and arms to the teapot to make movement easier.
i chose this teapot as an idea because of the facial attributes which i could use to add character to my teapot.
this gave me an idea for my character teapot.
i added this image from a tutorial on drawing and animating fish and i thought is could help me with my teapot drawing.
i added this image because it was a good animation set from disney on bringing an inanimate teapot and cup to life which has been a big help with my project idea.
