I gathered all of my work together today that I could find on my computer, I then sorted each type of animation into three different folders including; 3D work, stop-motion and 2D hand drawn animations.
As i scanned through each video, I jotted down on a notepad all of the good points of each animation and how many seconds in it was so that I had some information to help me cut out the good sections of my animations to use in my showreel.

week 5 lecture - 27/02/2013

In todays lecture, we focused on creating our showreels once again, I was able to look through some of my work on youtube and decide the best few seconds of each of my animations in which would work well in a showreel.

week 4 lecture - 20/02/2013

Today we looked at online blogs and got a feel for how they are wrote professionally. We also went through the many uses of microsoft powerpoint.

Week 3 Lecture - 13/02/2013

Todays lecture consisted of looking at examples of showreels and getting tips on how to make our own to the best that we can. Our tutor then came round and us students took turns in showing him most of our best work we have ever done for then to receive feedback on how we could make a showreel with the media

I have been looking at different websites today and getting an idea of how they look. I was inspired by a few websites that really caught my eye in terms of them looking professional and detailed.
For example, I really like the cartoony and fun style of the 'Aardman' website: http://www.aardman.com/
although there isn't much colour, the website works really well and it is easy to read as well as attractive on the eye.

Pixar's website also looks really nice, they have used a black background with white text and I really like this effect they have created. This website also looks neat and well presented, with it being simple colours: http://www.pixar.com/

A contrasting website to the two above is one by the company 'DreamWorks'. This one is my favourite because of the galaxy background, making it look really nice and as though it's in space. The layout is fantastic and the colour scheme works perfectly.

week 2 - Lecture - 06/02/2013

In todays lecture, we had to produce a PowerPoint presentation to present to the class aswell as both our tutors. containing a few pieces of our own animated work
