Using a white board, we had to produce a stop-motion video of about 120 frames for 10 seconds of footage. The principle was to get a box from the left hand side of a house, to the other side, by drawing each frame as it happened.
I found this fun and exciting to see our creation come together and to work with other people to share their thoughts on how to move the box. A very time consuming process which is physically draining, but the end result will look great!
The box opens up, and lets out a few balloons, the house's roof cracks open and a stick man climbs out of it and a tree grows at the side where a bird takes rest and smokes a cigarette and lays an egg, which then hatches into another box.
I've experimented with stop-motion video before using, quite simply, my bedroom carpet and a few trucks and blobs of blu-tak to create the scene of an airport. Very simple stuff, but was invaluable to see how stop-motion pictures work.

Ka-Boom!-!!
Bang! We've landed. Into the world of... "huh?"
So many new things to learn and people to meet. Now is the time to make an impression, to start our futures, to make our own decisions.
And here's what I want to do get out of Multimedia, in addition to passing of course...
I think it's important to remember that Multimedia is a mixture of different areas and I'm excited about all the aspects. Multimedia was generally my hobby anyway, always creating videos and I even had my own radio station, but I thought it was about time I got some education, rather than experimenting around the subject. So yeah, in addition to passing, I'm wanting to become a more educated person within Multimedia and enjoy expressing my creativity.
My first week has been pretty good! Living in Derby means it's never that far for me to return home or see my partner, however, you still miss them like crazy! Flat mates have been approaching me when they've needed hugs or felt a bit down, which is nice to know I can help. My room's looking very homely and warm, which is nice when you feel a bit alienated. Been out almost every night so far, including a horrendous night on Sunday, which involved being dragged out of the toilet, into a cab and up to bed by a student rep (Thanks Thunder Thighs!) and undressed by Ash. (Thank you, but let's not tell everyone about what you saw!) So far, an eventful week and it'll hopefully only get better!
