Animation Storyboards - Your Feedback Needed :)

First of all, I apologise for using this forum for my own purposes but it seemed the most convenient way of reaching you :)

As some of you might already know, apart from my texture collaging in form of still images, I moved towards animation (seemed natural after some time spent on creating still imagery, although this whole pre-production stage is slowly driving me nuts ;)).

When the idea of developing an animation occured, I was asked to build a narrative around some of the images I had created and prepare storyboards. Now, for a person that can't draw, preparing 107 drawings is a torture, so you'll have turn a blind eye on their quality. I have uploaded them at http:// www.michalflorczak.net along with 10sec test animation and a form containing 5 questions. If I could steal few minutes of your time and ask you to have a look through the storyboards and leave some feedback (which is purely for my research purposes and is not published anywhere) I would be extremely grateful, and if asking or begging doesn't do the trick, I'll try to bribe you with a cup of coffee :))

I am trying to establish what is being communicated to the audience through that sequence of images (and I have to say it is more to do with emotions rather than a story in a traditional sense) and whether what you feel or get out of this equals my intentions. Once again, your help is much appreciated. I have to visit my tutor next Monday (16/07) with some feedback and I hope to gathered that through this makeshift website of mine and with your generous help.

time to rhyme .

hi all ,

for my ma project i am doing a series of paintings based on my poems .

Wrath

when sorrow stings the heart ,

like poison it flows, will not stop .

taking over the eyes and the brain,

now the devils workshop !

the last bit of soul tries to heal .

the battle rages, who will kneal ?

endless they fight on him .

overwhelmed energy sides with the poison,

to form the new force of anger .

wrath !

xxx

i am writing a few poems based on my experiences , influences and people important to me .
kindly give me your opinion of my work .

The new issue of Newwebpick

that's the quite nice web magzine about art and design, especially to graphic designer and illustrator, advice you to see what they are~~

Support from the Sidelines

Yes my presence has been felt, a profile , a few comments here and there. I will be looking in from time to time just to catch up on news/events and gossip!

My role will be hands off, its your blog and so far its working well without academics giving you their ten pennyworth.

Two Shows!

Phil is officially your academic contact regarding the external show, I will be involved in the internal assessment procedures and degree show and will ensure that it is managed to the best of our abilities. You will be using the vacated space from the Undergrad shows and clearly these spaces will need a bit of a sprucing after their departure.

I echo Chiu's comments, take a good look around all the BIAD shows, textiles is great, Fine Art will inspire and if you get a chance go further afield...

So well done and please support the ring leaders.

New Designer's Show

I just thought I'd let you know about the New Designers Show @ Business Design Centre, Islington, London N1

It's being advertised as 'the foremost event in graduate design' and seems to cover everything : animation, fashion, glass, architecture and much more. Its worth looking at the site, there's a show reel which makes it look pretty exciting.
www.newdesigners.com

I'm going on Sat 14th of July because there's a talk about Illustration, my ticket cost £9.50

Trying to find the link

I want to use my research into pareidolia and visions and link this into an illustrated book of my own poetry. I'm faffing around a bit to be honest and I could do with some input on how to link the two areas. Or maybe I'm over-complicating things ... I don't know. I've started to post some of my poetry which I normally keep well hidden.

I would appreciate some input on my blog if any of you have a minute to spare with everything that's going on at the moment ...

My blog can be found at http://annerleyjohnson.blogspot.com/

Alive!

At last the old boy managed it (I need to lie down)

LICHFIELD ARTS FESTIVAL COMING UP!

Lichfield Arts Festival will start in 5th July for 10 days. Theatre, music, art, drama, dance ... indoor and outdoor events.

Lichfield itself has the most spectacular gothic cathedral covered in statues. Lots of history. Beautiful place (I'm there every day, my son goes to the Cathedral School).

Ten minutes from my house ... less than 40 minutes by train from New Street and trains run every 15 minutes.

Lots of nice coffee shops too ...

Anyone interested in going? More info on festival at: http://www.lichfieldfestival.org/site2007/
