MEGA CRIT BEFORE SUBMISSION

Today was the final mega crit before submission so a last chance to get feedback and look at all the work produced for this module.

Above is a photo of my work all set up and ready to go! Not much has changed in my printed work since the last crit except for the presentation of it because I have been working on SB3 Moving Pictures after drawing a line under SB2 before Christmas, so it does feel weird putting out this work that everyone's already seen but it's really rewarding to see all of the outcomes from the module (SB1, 2 & 3) presented together, professionally, for the first time.

I think there's definitely a consistency in my work. I stayed with the blue/black colour scheme and maintained the spooky atmosphere/scenes throughout the module. It all looks like it fits together on the table, they're all from the same world. What has changed is my processes, my presentation and my attitude. At the start of this module I had been working on model making all summer, I was beginning to conduct myself as a model maker and I had become quite dogged that this is how I work. Going into SB2, I was not happy to be putting model making aside but I went for it and compromised. I still want to make, but I can still make scenes in 2-dimensions.

We've achieved so much since the start of this module!

Annie's Presentation was incredible. Beyond professional cellophane and labels, Annie made her own little folio with pages and a fastening! She also made a matching box for bulkier prints. Really impressive. Have I done enough in terms of presenting my work for submission?

I have labels for mine and everything is set up, but for submission all I can do it put it all in a folder... I can't lay it out in order or have things propped up on stands like this.

So many lovely comments. Feeling confident!

Sting Showing

Showing the stings on the big screen:

Megan Naylor Wardle's and mine harmonised really well. Neither of us had seen the other's, yet we ended up producing really similarly toned stings - similar settings, similar orchestral music. Would make a great collaboration/exhibition?

Stephen Tran's animation was really simple - only a few assets moved but it was so well executed. Obvious interest/passion for animation and anime - smooth storytelling.

Humour in Kieran Blakey's Carrington sting - matches his personal tone of voice. 

Showing my sting - looks great on the big screen, really happy with it. Great reaction/response (even a 'woo!' from someone in the room... not me I promise), so I am pleased!

Sneak Peak 505

I CAN'T WAIT! No, I probably won't be printmaking in this next module because it's not my favourite process, but I know that I can do it if I do need to/want to again... I want to continue my work ethic, organisation and positive attitude - full steam ahead! Roll on the MAKING.
