Final stages of my pixilation

This is my pixilation about the start of my uni life. The focus for the animation is about how this new people in my life have added to my identity and by being put in a situation where no one knows who you are you created a new, slightly ultered identity that merges in with your new friends.

Since I created this version I have have faded in the start and slowed down the first few frames to introduce the audience gradually to my production. Whilst I haev been creating the pixilation I have been watching other pixilation of a similar style to see how important the music is to teh overall effect. Since then I have decided to try to create my own music to make it more about my identity... whether or not it'll be good will be another story (I am tone deaf.lol.) I wan the music to be upbeat and emphasis the pace of the pixilation so it will replicate my pace of life/my positive attitude.

Also I have realised that if I was to create this again I would have to change the compostion so that the drawing is more centered so it attracts the audiences attention in a better way. The only way I could solve this problem is to add some draing to the bottm section of the pixilation but that will make it look too cluttered so I think it will work out best if I leave it.

I have now added in the fade in and outs but I need to think of some origianal credits to some up the piece and what front etc will fit in with the style.

This is a really cool pixilation that I found. It has a really good pace to it that creates a strong visual relationship between the man and woman. I like the way that the video captures the song and bring it to life through the subtle movements of the woman. One of my favourite qualities of the pixilation is the lightning effects that highlight her movements, for example the sun moving down the bed and the transition between light and dark later on in the pixilation. In my opinion it makes it more realistic. 

Lego Men- The dark night!

Evil Character (for my Pixilation)

Check out this amazing version of a trailer for the dark knight all done with Lego men. It's put a new light on my Lego man pixilation. So far in my pixilation I think it's gone off to a really good start but it needs more of a story. I think the answer to this is a more obvious villain. Before the villain was a bird flying in and taking them away to symbolising the loss of people throughout my life and how important family and friends are to me. However I think that villain should take a face and maybe it could look like a trailer to a 'film' rather than a short narrative. The narrative of my pixilation is that life is part of death. Although it seems like a distant part of my identity it has become a very important one to me in the last few years since loosing family to death. It has helped me become who I am today through remembering the influence that that person had on my life. I want to represent it in a film trailer style way because it is one of those things that you think will only happen in films never to you. Also I can dramatise certain aspects of it through the introductory text, fading/ merging scenes from day to night ect...
