PARIS TRIP - Monday 10th Jan
This year Paris was chosen for the Plymouth Uni Illustration course field trip. I was lucky enough to be one of the 81 students going.
It's 6am and we're getting on a coach, leaving from Plymouth City Museum to London St Pancreas International. We spent two hours playing I SPY before surrendering ourselves to an uncomfortable comatose state.

6 hours later we arrived at St. Pancreas Station, London.
Just a 2 hour journey on the Eurostar and were in Paris. We'd all kind of woken up by now after snacks and coffee in London. Paper planes with gratuitously bounderish remarks written on them were thrown across the carriage.
After getting our rooms we went out to find something to eat. We found a nice quiet Italian place - the waiter was expectably embarrassed to serve people with such poor french vocab skills, or Italian for that matter :) . We were with third and second year students and so it was great to chat to them over dinner about the course and funny/awkward moments with our teachers.
Afterwards we tried to find a nice bar to have some drinks but our search failed. French people don't binge drink :P .
Hey
I have so much to update this blog with that I'm pretty overwhelmed. Last week I had an awesome 5 days in Paris with my illustration class, I've a new camera lens and lots of other stuff which I should be updating this blog with but y'know, it takes a quite a bit of effort for me to write this stuff. Bear with me. Also, I had a big coursework deadline this week so yeah this is why I haven't updated in a while. I've already broken my new years resolution haven't I :/
Thriller!!
Work is going well.
I haven't updated this in ages. One of my new years resolutions is to update this blog at least once a week from now on, even if I'm tired and don't want to and I hate my life and I want to cry. whaaaahh!
*cough cough*
Here's something I did a month ago, perhaps more.
This is an animation I made from life drawing class. We'd spend about 40 seconds redrawing each frame before taking a photo and moving on. This took about 3 1/2 hours of time in the life drawing space and 3 hours in Adobe Premier because the bloody software lacks shortcuts and takes ages longer than it should. For the last bit of time we were asked what we'd like the model to do as an action for us to draw. I had the idea of getting him to do the Thriller dance move and ended up having to demonstrate it to him too. How awfully quaint you must think I am.

p.s. the video quality looks as if someone's sneezed onto the computer screen. I give up.
p.p.s. There's a jump mid way in the man's walk because I arrived late to class --I forgot we were starting back from lunch half an hour early :/
