Game Design Project

Download the Asset list here.

We are collaborating with TUKS's programming/development team, where we will be in charge for creating all the graphic content for the game.  The project will run for the remainder of the year and will entail everything from interface design, level design, props, character setup and animation... and everything in between.

The History of Special Effects

Dear Motion Design 2 students,

if you can't afford to spend $50 or a day studying in the school library, I selflessly sacrificed my morals and bootlegged Chapter 1.  Download it here.

It's a brief look at the History of Special Effects and an absolute must read if your interested in SFX (and you're also being tested on it).

The test will be online for you to complete on Thursday 20:00 - 21:00, and the re-write on Monday, during the day (off-line).

Enjoy!

Vimeo account

Sadly, the Vimeo account has been maliciously deleted. 
For those of you that have not received your feedback please accept my sincerest apologies. The account was setup in order to assist with remote feedback during the holiday time... I'm disappointed, as I'm sure some of you are.

I encourage everyone to create your own Vimeo account! Not only is it a useful communication tool, but also a good portal for an online portfolio. Feel free to add me as a contact if you wish to receive any feedback or assistance.

The Open Window AV account will be re-opened, but only to serve as a showcase for some of the module's best works. Thank you for your cooperation. I'm awaiting feedback from Vimeo regards to the circumstances of the deleted account and will keep you informed.

Death to Boredom

We all need a break, sure. But, having been conditioned to work our asses off, it's entirely possible that we find ourselves rather bored, without some growing workload to tackle. And it's wonderful times like these that we find the opportunity to engage in some personal work...

Module 1 - AV submission

Animation and Motion Design students must please upload their files to Vimeo, as discussed.

The previous deadline of Friday 26th of March has been extended to Monday the 29th.

Your file should not be larger than 10MB!! There is a 500MB/week limit on the account and some students are uploading their files more than once due to unnecessary errors (like not naming the subject of their upload).  You are taking the space of your fellow students and therefor caused the deadline to be extended.  Please note: Future acts of negligence will result in marks being deducted. 

Another solution would be to create your own Vimeo account and simply add yourself as a contact from the Open Window AV account.

Please don't e-mail me your files.
Thank you.
