My Reviews on East Midlands Designer Outlet

Image
My Reviews on East Midlands Designer Outlet By Jordan Tyler-Love The East Midlands Designer Outlet first opened in October 1998, 20 years ago, though my first time itself was on 16th September. The shop has only fewer shops to choose from, it does not have any of the following: KFC, IKEA, Poundland, B&M, Home Bargains or WhSmith, etc. Despite having a 5 star rating, as there is a Lindt and Cadbury shop, in fact, both of which, are opposite each other. As for the other stores, I'd really have to be in the mood for, as some shoes at Adidas, Nike and Reebok, are kinda expensive.  First off, the Cadbury store, is a delightful shop, fresh chocolate, candy, merchandise and a little memoribillia from the factory. Plus, it is also convenient when you cannot afford to visit the factory, during Easter and Christmas time, which is very helpful. Piece of advice: if you cannot visit the real thing in Bournville, be sure to visit this store.  ...

Proposal and Characters: Fazuki's Doom of Slush

Image
Jordan Tyler-Love                                       24.1.18- 31.1.18 Proposal and Characters: Fazuki's Doom of Slush How I got the idea for Fazuki's Doom of Slush , was that I learned about the Stone Age, watched a few stone age shorts, and watched the trailer for Early Man (which I am seeing next Saturday). I am a big fan of dinosaurs and caveman. I wanted to make a feature that no one would ever create and that was based on the stone age. The idea for the characters and the reason why I wanted to use card to make the characters, because I learned how to draw characters out of card, when I was at Flycheese Productions as Parson Cross, Sheffield. I was 17 years old when I did my first project out of card, The Familiar Trapsite, which I created and animated back in 2014. The card characters were mainly inspired by the 1970s series, Paddington Bear .  https://www.youtu...

Problems during production

Jordan Tyler-Love                                                      7.2.18 Problems During production My first problem I had was when the flaps on the cardboard was stopping me from standing the box up. I was unable to stand it up.  How I overcame this, was that I borrowed Anne-Marie's scissors and cut around the edges, in order to stand the box up, rather than to cease production. The second problem I had was with standing Fazuki up in the background, the scene where he says goodbye to his future child (an egg, that will soon be an image from the Internet), as he kept falling off the background. So I had to delete those scenes. I had to start again. What I also did was add a little more blu-tac, to solve the problem, on the body first, but Fazuki had still kept falling off the background. So I had to add a little less blu-tac, but ...

Fazuki's Doom of Slush - script

Jordan Tyler-Love                                      22.1.18- 31.1.18 Fazuki's Doom of Slush Based on characters created by: J.T. Love  Fazuki is inspired by Ice Age  , particularly Scrat, even though Fazuki is a prehistoric toucan. Also inspired by Early Man and other stone age projects.  Duration: 2 minutes 40 seconds.  Scene #1: Fazuki leaves his stone cave.  FAZUKI: Se fue a cenar. Volveré dos horas.  Fazuki cuddles his future child in its nest and heads out to scrounge for food. While he cannot fly, he runs thoroughly and steadfast. He uses his beak to sniff out the scent.  (Didgeridoo call) FAZUKI: Doik! Durk!  ¿Qué diablos pasa en Trafalgar y Pizom? ¡ no puedo oler! (Stampede) Fazuki sniffs out the rest of the trail, only for him to find out that a tribe of cavepeople, were taking over the animals' leis...

Jordan Tyler-Love                                                   31.1.18 Getting Ready Before pre-production What I did yesterday, to start off with, was to sort out the backgrounds. The backgrounds that I printed out were not big enough to fit in the box set, so I had to reprint some backgrounds off in A4 then I enlarged them to A3 so that they would fit in my box set.  I then worked on sculpting the teepees (stone caves) out of Plasticine. This is to give my sets some effect and these are where the cavepeople and the prehistoric animals (including the protagonist Fazuki) lived. I had a little problem with the teepee. At first, they were not stable, as Play-doh was added to the first one, but the made bricks were not sticking, so I put the play-doh back and continued to find more of the plasticine to combine it all together, including the s...

Learning Claymation

Image
Jordan Tyler-Love                                     16.1.18/17.1.18 Learning Claymation Yesterday morning, I watched a YouTube video about making a stop-motion character out of clay. The video instructor gave us instructions on how to make the characters. I decided to make an unidentified insignificant creature, that nobody would expect my character to be. His name is Gorbeaux, a kind of Gorzorelliabese alien which I came up with during production. The names of the alien and species I came up with are fascinating, but hard names to pronounce, but I wanted to come up with something, that was, entirely, out of this world. If the short comes up well on YouTube, as part of my new company J.T. Love Industries. I might add him and my upcoming Stone Age projects as one of my future storybooks.  How I animated Gorbeaux, was that I wanted to treat him as a family pet, so what I did on I Ca...

Frame Rate

Jordan Tyler-Love                                                   17.1.18 Frame Rate This morning I have watched two examples of animations, as part of today's session, Kubo and the Two Strings and Fantastic Mr Fox. The figures in Kubo are smooth, they have a sense of movement, even though that scene is a little dark, the characters have also a path of direction. The frame rate for both movies, Fantastic Mr Fox,  had poor quality, due to the fact that the characters, including the rat, were slightly jerky, yet they had rushed that scene, in order to save money. It was a slower frame rate. And the scene was a little blurry. Especially the screen shot was blurry. The scene in Kubo and the Two Strings, was a little more pathfinding, especially The Twin Sisters' scene where they chase after Kubo to terrify and kill his mother. This scene had much high...
