Hi guys, My name is Ryan Uhrich from DD07. It’s coming up to 1 year since I graduated from VFS, and man, the time has flown by. First off I’d like to congratulate DD10 and wish them my best. I’m sure you’re all super tired by this point.
Well it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. I recently created my 2008 portfolio site along with a new showreel. I wanted to share it with all of you. It’s a mix of student work along with commercial broadcast projects I did while working at THANKYOU in Denmark. I just finished it in time for the upcoming ADAA event being held in New York City. Myself along with Marcos Ceravolo are fortunate enough to be finalists in the motion graphics category this year for our final project Duelity. So, wish us luck. :) Fingers crossed.
To the other DD classes to come, keep on rockin’ it.
If any of you are fans of the fantastic This American Life, you might want to enter their t-shirt contest. The deadline is Monday July 28th. Information is at their web site.
Yes, 2D animation is basically drawing frame by frame. And you can pretty much called it ‘Stop Motion’ as the way they were done. But what about having this frame by frame drawing on a wall and then taking picture from it.
It is hard to imagine how long it’ll take to get this 7 minutes 26 secs done.
So I’ve been following the “made-in-usa” DMCA bill the Canadian Parliament have been trying to pass under the public radar for a few months now, and it’s been hard trying to explain why it’s such a big deal to people. Thankfully, Gordon Duggan of Appropriation Art has created an amazing comic chronicling the fight up until now. I recommend this read to anybody who has any sort of interest in digital media whether its recreationally or professionally (…ahem…). I mean, the Canadian/US border already has claimed the right to search all data storage that passes to the US (scary shit if you ask me). Get involved and check it out!
Also, on a interaction note, the fact that a comic can have external-linkable assets (or on any PDF for that matter) is a sweet design choice to keep in mind, especially with eBook readers on the fringe of the mainstream present, as well as the fact that they’ll soon be gobbled up by the cellphone just like everything else. Think about it. ttfn!
