3D Doughnut man!

In this project I was very excited because I learned how to build both a 3D character and environment.

I already had an abundant amount of characters,wanting to further develop them, I decided to include them in the current project.

These are The characters:
Sparks the cat, Pizza Dino and Doughnut man of course.

Sparks is a robotic cat who's soul purpose was to destroy
 however he was deactivated in the middle of the great war, a boy finds him in a ruined building, who is looking for supplies and finds Sparks instead.

Now the Pizza Dino was all that it was a dinosaur with a sort of Pacman face. I thought on further developing this design as to have a more original design. So Pizza Dino changed to three adorable little dinosaurs called
Nix, Noms and Nash.

Noms Nix and Nash would have been the characters I built in this project, as 3D models, providing I had better software skills at the time.

Doughnut man is just what you would think A lazy old doughnut who watches TV and drinks a cold one.
The original design of Doughnut man was very much inspired by Sonic the hedgehog. Mainly Shadow the Hedgehog.

His shoes where inspired by the shoes that shadow wore.

Games Concept Art

In this project I created a concept piece of a vehicle for a video game.

The idea was to choose either a Vehicle, environment or Character. I chose to create a futuristic vehicle
this was mostly inspired by Massive Black and other Sci fi Concepts I found on the web.

After browsing for a while I decided to choose a car that has a futuristic look to it. I thought a Lamborghini would Suffice.

Anyway here is some pictures of the process taken to make this.

I went through many different processes till I decided this would be the one I wanted to stick with.

James Bond Project

In this project we each had to create a short title intro for a James Bond movie.
Mine was Casino Royale.

Watching the Casino Royale intro it helped me discover what style I wanted and gave me
an idea to set the theme of my animation.

You can find the link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnzgdBAKyJo&feature=kp
After I got the theme down I made a quick storyboard to plan out how I wanted everything to look.

I used a Green Screening technique to capture dice rolling on a table. This was filmed as an experiment for my first scene. This is also where I got first introduced into the wonderful world of 3D modeling.

here are some images of the intro Barrel scene these are as far as I got with the animation this was because I was fascinated with animation and therefore distracted when I saw Cinema 4D the 3D modeling software.

The semi silhouetted figure is one of my classmates Saun. thanks to him I had a real person for this shot.
great acting.

Building a Webpage

Ok this is a previous project Iv'e done

What we had to do was design a website. We were given two options to choose from
either making a webpage to promote a product or to make a personal portfolio.

I chose to make a portfolio webpage to display all my work.

Since this was just a design it is not a functinal webpage.

Anyway here is an image of the overall design. -This image was taken from my portfolio.

Project Proposal

This is my proposal for the latest module in my course, called " In the box". It is a community arts project that is going to be installed in a local museum. 

(This was not a official proposal it was just a practice)

My Work and me

My name is Adam Chapman I am a skilled interactive media student. That is very versatile within the creative industry; I have studied at Newcastle College for 2 years doing interactive media. I have excellent software skills, being able to use a variety of different art programs.

I am Imaginative always coming up with ideas for inventions, characters and animations.

I want to further develop and enhance my current skills.

If nothing else it’s a way to give me the means of making a better portfolio to show my work to friends, family and possibly companies.

I am able to use traditional and Computer based work patterns.

I have good time keeping being able to work to a deadline.

This means I have a broad experience of using different types of mediums and software.

 I have a creative mind inspired from almost all categories and forms of art.

I have a good sense in knowing how to work individually or in a team. I find it very helpful and exciting learning from teammates.  Getting help from them and giving that help back or helping others in need.

Making the Timeline

See timetable-

The Benefits

I like the idea of creating art to share with the community. I believe this will be a new exciting experience, working in a new environment.

It will be a great way to participate with colleges I’ve shared experience with and it is ideal for me to build up upon skills I already have and gain new ones.

My way of Marketing

I plan to market this project by using a variety of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, Posting photos and video clips on my blog. Uploading the final Video on Youtube and Vimeo accompanied with the Making of documented footage.
