Dayshan

Created by a pair of students, their collaboration echoed in the two plasticine characters helping one another bring another to life.

Student comments;

Two animal friends working as a team to bring a human face to life.  Name of animals Zebedee and T-rex. Name of face Dayshan.
 

I always loved cartoon and animation like Wallis and grommet, and always watch them and made my own story in my head. Well luckily I was able to create this small clip to give a small view of what goes on in my head.  It’s amazing how by adding one little things, could make a big difference, every movement either from the eyes moving slightly noticing the nose to a big smile could, help with telling a story.

 

The One that didn't not start

Process: getting an image and placing an acetate on top then creating effect using your imagination.

The mood changes from the start where it was depressing, then a fish was introduced and the mood changed to a brighter feeling.

The story: It can take one thing to open your eyes to see the world as it is.

Liked: the fact that I was able to look at an image and use my imagination to recreate a new story.

Changes:  Be more careful with my work i.e. not having hand and other object in the frames.

Cake

I enjoyed the process and the story because it was fun and I was free to take it in any direction I wanted to because there was no plot so anything could have happened.

For the next project, what I would differently is make sure all of my shots are precise and my finished result is clean looking and tells the story well. I would take more pictures between each frame to make the compositon more smooth flowing.

I would like my piece to be call Cake because I started off with a cake and the rest of the story spiralled off from there. 

A MOTHER'S LOVE CAN PART OCEANS

My mother and I came to the UK from Aruba to visit family members. Finding the family helpful, conforting and fun to be around. I ask my mother if I could stay a bit longer. she then decided to leave me here in England form 6 September 2002 with my family.

Not know the pain,stress and depression. I now know. I Couldn't have ask so childishly without know what I was getting my self in to.

throughout my time in england even though it had been educational, and great meeting know people. my mother had personal documents that made my life harder to live over here. and the family i once love know turn their back on me.

10 years Has passed and I miss my mother dearly crying at night and thinking what life would have been like if i had taken the path with my mum. Can not think of anywhere else better to be right now than with her.

This my first ever video is dedicated to my mother - Lilieth Thompson.

Who I love with all my heart and tell my last breath (well i hope I see here before then). 

This video represent a dream I had the night before.( do tell me what you think it means).
