SUCCESS!

Well done everyone!

Emergence turned out awesome! Congrats and thanks for all your effort and hard work, it really paid off.

Special thanks to Julianne for her creative direction, I think I speak for all of us when I say it was a pleasure realising her unique vision. Make sure to pat her on the back next time you see her.

Also thanks to Vi who got the majority of the supplies and photography, Venus for photography, Roger for the jars and projection effects, Laura for the extra streamers, Nat for the labels, Helen Z for the flyer, Shane for IT, Trinh for her scissors and Helen C and Jordan for feeding us! Thanks also to all of you for the great animations!

And thanks to Troy for making us do it, it was good practice of setting up an exhibition and we have gained useful knowledge for our end of year show, and if Emergence is an indication, with the extra time and resources it should turn out really fantastic!

Well done again everyone! Woohoo!

1000 Cups

hey groupy
just letting everyone know
i got the 1000 cups order today

unfortunately, for the cup team, these cups are the good quality type..meaning, the plastic is harder
good luck stapling them... =s

p.s man! my hands still smell like plasticine

OVER BUDGET

i got
1000 cups @ $80

i.e 0.08c a cup

it's already been ordered

streamers are on the way....
$2.50 i think and the roll is huge....i'm guessing 20m....

so i'll get a few of those - initially i was thinking 10....but maybe i'll just get 5 so that'll be $12.50

what do people think?

map

Alister Kents Progress and some images for you all..

From the venture brothers series on Adult Swim.
Doctor venture has recurring dreams of him as a fully grown person as a fetus.
Gave me the idea for a fully grown version of a fetus.


This is his fetus eating his twin.. they both have beards and look like the adult version more that a fetus would.



Some clay and plasticine art I found on the net for you




Two clips of my finished work, I went with a film art look, it has the theme of emergence, where we were supposed to have our name or student no. hidden somewhere I decided to have my name appear every time the glass was hit

Progress_vi


it's baby wolverine
not entirely sure if i should animate the claws coming in and out but yeah...
here it is....

the nose makes it look a bit like golemn to me...

cups cups cups

cambells cash and carry sell cups in bulk

foam cups are 0.79c per 25cups
and they come in boxes (or cases) of 41

but thats foam....

my dad will be asking an acquantice how much he sells transparent cups for...the guy delivers to the restaurants on vic st...

shouldn't be too expensive - buying in bulk usually makes everything cheaper
will get back with the blog asap

Progress_Remi

Hey Hey ^^

Here is the conceptual visualization of my idea.

I am making frogs, not durian any more (durain is too funky, i found out finally, hahaaaa xD)

As I am so into Chinese art recently, I try to apply the Chinese painting style here again. And they turn out like this:



I did't draw the bones or any inner organs yet. But is this ok if I keep'em like this?

There will be subtle movements of the pollywog and the frog in the animation, such as swimming around, breathing,kicking the legs and blinking the eyes...

Besides, I found an image which may help for the space design :


May b we can build up the cups like this and have red lights on them. It may give a sense of being inside mother's stomache, sth like tat ^w^

This all for now, I may have some animation test tmr or by Wed ^^

Cups and Plasticine and Streamers

Streamers, are we sticking with black streamers are should we use white? Same for the plasticine.

Buying plasticine:
Alistair has suggested Echersley's which offer a 20% student discount and have 24 packs of FIMO for $58.70
http://www.eckersleys.com.au/product.aspx?product=58&category=66

???

I has experimented with cups. I staple them, easiest thing to do. But since the cups taper they curve a little, you just have to staple them at different lengths. >_> You kind of have to tailor them. I might have to make them in the room, the one I've made so far is getting too big





Fetus Image

>_> Remi asked to see the original format (which you do not have to imitate!!)
