COP2 Weekly Update (Week Commencing: 28/10/19)

At the beginning of the week, we had a lecture on writing an introduction and were set our fifth study task.

I stayed behind to add sound to my looping animation. I found a cartoon blink noise to add to the eyes in the background, and as we were advised to listen to sounds that could be used for other actions, I searched for footsteps walking in snow to use as the cat walked across the carpet. The last sound I added was a cat happily purring.

I feel as though the purring may be too loud as it seems to overpower the rest of the animation. The blink is also very harsh and sharp, and the footsteps seem too loud. I will ask my peers for a second opinion but I feel as though as the weeks go on I will go back to this and refine it.

Nearing the end of the week, I continued to work in my visual journal. I started by looking at characters from the 1980s. I painted their silhouettes on one page and then designed and painted my own characters inspired by the original designs on the other. I also updated my blog posts.
