RJ Working

Restorative Justice (RJ Working) is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company that helps people who have been in a crime or a conflict to meet at a meeting to talk through the episode and hopefully gain a fully understanding of each others perspective on the situation.

We are this semester going to make films that informs about RJ Working. 

Our group want to make a very informative and neutral graphic film that doesn't take a side in a crime, but try to keep the offender and victim in a situation on the "same level". Therefor, we came up with the idea to of showing how each part feel and how RJ can help people to express and get stuff of their chests. 

We want to make something graphic and simple in style, and keep the offender and victim is  silhouettes  to keep them anonymous. We looked at graphite artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey, and use the colours taken form the RJ Working website; blue, purple and black

Character Design Assignment

In pre-production this semester we are working on two projects, an idea for our third year films and character design development for James Henry (writer).

James has given us four brief ideas for children's television shows were we are free to come up with character design and background art etc. Throughout the semester we will show what we've come up with and get feedback from James.

The first idea out of the four I fell for was Runepaw, a kids shows about viking mice that travels up in the called north and it would be a sort of teaching television show, teaching navigation and such. I probably liked this idea the most because I'm Norwegian and are from "the cold North". What first came in mind was Northern Lights and snowy mountains, something really eye catching and beautiful. I also have been thinking of making my third year film about Norway and have Norwegian nature in focus.

Here are a couple of moodboards

Animatic Project Final

Here is the result for the animatic project on Mary Shelley.
I ended up with the daydream idea, or, the introduction to the daydream scene.
Here Mary is sitting writing in her diary about her day and reflects over the conversation they had that evening. She falls asleep while writing and we can see lightning flashing through the windows. Some greenish cloudy/smoke appears from her diary coming from her writing. In the cloud, a face appears in the flashing of the thunderstorm, the face of professor Frankenstein.

Life Drawing 03 Nov 2014

For this life drawing session we did a lot of quick poses, focusing on "the line of movement", and movement itself. The bottom one is drawing without looking at the drawingboard, which is why they're a bit funky looking.
I still need to work on placing the weight right, I do find this a bit tricky, but hopefully there will be improvement throughout the year.
