Eating Disorder & Mental Illness Talk at Anglo European School
Today I visited my old Sixth Form - Anglo European School - to talk to the students about my experience with mental illness. I've talked about this two other times, and it is never easy - in fact it's one of the most difficult things I've done (despite choosing to do it multiple times). I wanted to share this as it directly relates to my Adaptation B project which is about my Eating Disorder, Anxiety, and struggles with Body Dysmorphia. During this presentation I discussed my raw personal story, some facts about mental illnesses, and different methods of coping.
I talked about how I've used my art in the past to cope and express my feelings and that I'm still doing it now in university with my Adaptation B project. I think I left an impact on the students, considering none of them seemed to speak, move or blink which was quite intimidating to be honest. Considering a few students and teachers came up to me afterwards to thank me, I'd view it as a success.

Adaptation B: Initial Ideas & Old Artwork
I decided to make a short presentation about my ideas for Adaptation B. It includes a very small selection of artwork from both me and my sister that relate to my idea, as it's something that I've explored for quite a few years now. Again I apologise for the low quality of some of the photos, some of them are from back in 2009 before I really knew how to take photos and before I had a phone with a decent camera in it. Some of the artwork has touches of teenage angst but I hope that it is clear to see how it relates to my ideas for the project even though I've left it slightly vague for now until I can write down my thoughts better. After going through my artwork I've realised that I haven't been producing art relating to this topic in the last year or so...which makes me excited to return to it and explore it some more.

Reflective Statement:
This project has been a real challenge for me because I had to multi-task this project along with the Narrative project, CG Toolkit, and the essay. I think it helped teach me how to better manage my time and has reiterated how important it is prioritise my work based on the different deadline dates and other factors. This project has forced me to overcome my difficulties with content with comedic/romantic themes, which does not come naturally to me. It has allowed me to experiment once again with an art style I am not used to and have not done before (like how the 'From Script to Screen' project did in Year One). While drawing in a more cartoon style is a major challenge for me, I feel like I was able to find a middle ground between my normal drawing style and a more cartoon-like approach which helped me grasp the project. As mentioned above, I struggled to get my head around my sound clip due to its comedic nature but I feel I successfully created a short narrative that fits with the sound clip even while I stepped outside of my comfort zone. It has helped me improve my skills in both Illustrator and Photoshop because the style I chose required me to have clean lines and more blocky colours in comparison to my normal artwork that is normally more painterly/realistic. Once my characters started to become more refined, I became more excited to work on them despite my struggles to start with. I was glad I was able to improve my skills with drawing animals as I have never drawn ferrets or guinea pigs before. I found the guinea pig a challenge because they tend to be very blob-like but I am happy with my ability to keep real life anatomy in mind for both of the animal characters while it still being stylised. This is also the first time I had to draw a child, which was the largest struggle in this project for me in terms of the design of the actual characters. I'm happy with how she turned out, despite my frustrations to begin with. Overall, I feel that this project has helped me learn the value of multi-tasking, improved my ability to create clean line art, allowed me to experiment with different art styles and genres, and forced me to draw things I haven't done before which has increased my confidence in drawing and design.

Fantastic Voyage: Post Production Stills
I decided to save some stills from my animation after adding some colour correction, tints, film grain and a vignette on the scenes. The colours are meant to be very unsaturated, just enough to notice. Looking at it rendered out, I think I will probably need to go back into After Effects and lighten up the scenes a little bit.
