Making of my Alien Eye

Conceptualisation
For my alien transformation stop-motion GIF, I want to focus more on the changing of the eyes, into the eyes many different species of animal. Doing this will create a subtle, but more mysterious effect. Implying that my alien character can change into any living thing, as seen fit.

Bloktik!


Bloktik is a fun new toy that has kids all over the nation going crazy! There is so much to love about Bloktik, not only is it super addictive and will capture the attention of your children for hours. It is also simple, fun and safe for them to play with. Unlike other construction toys, Bloktik is easy on the hands. Pieces are stuck together strong enough to stay in place, but not enough to hurt the hands of your kids. Not only is it safe on them , but it is also safe on the environment, being made from wood from sustainable forests and recycled materials.

Young people today are interested in fashion and trends. Wether that is the latest phones or the latest clothes. On the whole, they like bright colours, modern, and minimalistic design styles. This question however is extremely vague as what young persons are interested in varies great from demographic to demographic.

Cliché Soundtrack


For this class we were asked to pick a scene from the film 'Cliché' by last years level 2 film students at the City of Bath College. The scenes they gave us had raw, unedited audio, and it was up to us to make a soundtrack for them so that the appropriate mood is conveyed to the audience.
