Tia Whitehead - BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts

After feedback from my major project and talking to Alan it has been decided that editing and tweaking my film will be needed in order to make sure that it is ready to send to the graduate show and other film festivals (if they are still going ahead). One suggesting was to create screen wipes or cuts to make it so that the audience do not become bored of watching the character run around to the different areas within the set. For that, I have come up with one idea: When I say, "Later that evening..." - A clock comes up to the screen and then back (like in the old batman series, but the background does not spin), this would represent the change in time from being at the Natural History Museum in London to going to my GP. I may need more help as to where to place more cuts/screen wipes as towards the end of the animation I feel that adding cuts/ screen wipes could change the flow of what is being said by the voice over. I have also decided on bits of the animation to cut out , ...

Reflective Statement: After over a year of working on my graduate film I can now say that I have finished it and that I have also finished university. It is very strange to say as I have spent three years of my life working closely with friends and lecturers on animation and to now say that it has all come to an end is slightly daunting. Three years has flown by and although I have found some parts of university hard, I can say that I have enjoyed every minute of it. From learning new things, to meeting new and very talented people, this has all allowed for me to blossom as an artist and see who I am as an individual. A lot of hard work and time has gone into my graduate film, 'Little Monster' and although it is about something very personal to me, my type one diabetes, I am hoping that by creating this animation a lot more people will become educated around the disease and help anybody that they know that may be struggling with it. I am proud to be able to say that I have c...

I have personified type one diabetes as a monster as it can sometimes be very temperamental and cause a change in my overall health as well as mood.  I have really enjoyed being able to create a short animation that is very personal to me, it has allowed me to express how type one diabetes makes me feel and I am hoping that when people are able to view the animation they will start to become more educated around type one diabetes and how they can help somebody treat a hy...

I did have an issue with creating a play blast before as one of the planes would disappear and then reappear. I have now fixed this issue, as shown below, with Alan's help, but going to the Viewpoint 2.0 setting and changing the transparency algorithm to depth peeling.

Here is the new front cover for my 'Art of... Little Monster'. It is something a bit different from my previous version of my art of but I decided that taking the approach/style of a scrap book would be more suitable as it represents my journey with my diabetes.
