BBC Radio Clip...
For this project we were given six audio clips to listen to and choose one to animate.My first impression,to be honest,of the clips was how unfuuny they were and I dreaded the prospect of having to produce 3 plus minutes of animation for one of them.I suppose this is the real world though,where you are involved in projects which you don't personally like.
I settled on doing the clip titled 'Foxtitute.'I actually found during the course of my research into how I was going to animate this 3.15 minute piece that I had found a method that was sustainable for that period of time and began to actually warm to the project.I used animals as the principle characters and tried to adopt the 'Phonejacker' means of animation,which is relatively simple but has a hilarious effect in its simplicity.

Designing a clock for the IPhone...
For this brief we were asked to design a clock for the Apple IPhone.
I'll be the first to admit that this project was run concurrently with the biography brief and most of my attention went on the biography project.However,I did do some work on it and after my first idea was not well received on account of it's lack of depth
of thought,I set about really scratching my head over exactly what time means.
I concluded that time was a passing thing and as it passed so things erode.I really got my inspiration from the ancient method of telling time by using candles,which was done several millenia ago.As time passed so part of the candle burnt away.I applied this to the modern day and,being a smoker myself,used an image of a cigarette and a candle burning to denote minutes and hours respectively with the glowing ember to illustrate seconds passing.
I was glad that I had to go back and re-think this project as it meant that I had to really do some research on time being told over the centuries and therefore came up with a much more interesting outcome.
