Final Major Project

So I'm meant to be working on my first year FMP now! I've decided to do a comic (Hodgepodge) for it. It will be on CD and (here's where it gets interesting?/complicated perhaps) I want both animated chapters and still page chapters.. Does anyone know any programs that could make the CD contents look really funky? A dreamweaver sort of thing for CD-making.....Anyone??
And I'd want to design a funky CD case, extra bits and bobs and everything (which I've done before.. not just the regular jewelled-case thing where you slip the paper in; it was proper origami style, man! haha)! I'm actually pretty excited.

Although, if I get about 25/30pages done (which is sort of my aim...), I would like to make a perfect bound book as well (using lulu.com).. My only problem, I think, is getting ideas together for it all and deciding how the animated parts will be done (stylistically)...

In other news, I'm having a really funky week!

:D YES!

Hopefully I'm not biting off more than I can chew...Well, I've got 5weeks left to do it in; let's give it a good go!

Also, I made an 8 page book out of the Maggie Milly Molly May project using Lulu.com. I like the way it looks in print, but I still really love the way it looks on a big screen as a slideshow... I'll have to consider all that for the upcoming NARRATIVE project. hmmm...

Making Meaning: Complete Myths: MMMM

The module isn't like.. someone enjoying food ("mmmm" lol) it's just an acronym (Maggie and Milly and Molly and May). I've got lots of work I'm supposed to be doing so let's get right too it! (comment with any questions)

current project: Making Meaning & Complete Myths:
illustrating the E. E. Cummings poem "maggie and milly and molly and may" for an adult audience. +incorporate The Idea of Logical Proof

I'm still not positive how I'll incorporate the Idea of Logical Proof.. Not so much because it's difficult to do, but I just haven't thought much about it yet.

Here are a few of the first preliminary/brainstorming sketches (before we were given our "Idea"s):

There's A Madhouse In My Head

sketches from one of our current projects (Making Meaning/Complete Myths)

When I can't think of anything to do for a project, I just scribble stuff with my beloved dip pen and usually something usable comes out. This page has actually been particularly helpful to me, so I'm sharing it :)

There were more but two of them never got animated.

Robots: cut-out animation

Animation project: Robots

I have to fix the timing and figure out how to add sound!!

Wish I had more to post. I'll have to remember to get all my drawn-animation clips from the computer at uni at some point.
edit: added the sound!!
