Cinema4d - 3D Character

I first created a cube using the dimensions 400x100x200 and added segments 2x1x1. So I could see the segments I had to turn on 'Gourd Shading (lines)' which meant the separate polygons were visible. I right hand clicked on the object and when to 'make editable which means that I would be able to edit the object.  Making the centre two points selected using the points section tool I dragged it down 50/60 centimetres. I rotated round so I could see the top faces. In the tool bar I selected the faces two and selected the top two faces to begin to add more polygons onto my object. Right clicking brings up a menu, I selected extrude. When using the the extrude tool you would think you just drag the mouse in the direction you want extruding. This is not the case, to extrude correctly you need to drag the object to the right hand side while still holding the mouse button. I first extruded above what I already had to the value of 100. Using point editing mode I also the used the

AfterEffects - Rotoscoping

We were asked to create an animation using the technique called 'Rotoscoping' this a frame by frame animation using masks as the main tool for the animating. I first need to create a video in which I would rotoscoping over.  video-1534355282 from Jade Holmes on Vimeo . I start at the section that I believe I would need the most points. Using the pen tool I out lined my object.   Moving back frame by frame I began to move the points on the mask to keep in line with the movement of the hand in the video.  The main tools I was using where the pen tool, hand tool and the convert vertex tool. I then needed to shorten the video to the parts I animated which would give me an advance when creating a loop.  After selecting the layer I went to the layer drop down menu at the top of the screen and enable time remapping.  I then added the expression which would cause a continuous loop. Imported the textures I wanted to use : they are all from Pixabay (ro

Self Publishing - Typeface Stencils

Using three different typographys as reference were were asked create stencils using elements of the letters. When creating a relief from the stencil the piece would look abstract. Due to corrupt files the orginail work from the workshop was lost so I created more stencils using: Adabi MT condensed Extra Bold Didot  Cooper black. Improvising to use sprat cans as I do not own a roller. The class was based on using one colour I began to layer my designs to see what sort of designs I would be able to create when layering the colours.  The two outcomes below are the ones I believe to be the most successful.
