"Zen Experience" 2008 HSC Visual Arts Body Of Work - Digital Animation

*Read this while it loads :)*

An Animation I made for my 2008 HSC Visual Arts Body Of Work.
Created solely in both Blender and Windows Movie Maker.
Special thanks to:
Martin Georgiev for the great character rig, Jan Morgenstern and the Big Buck Bunny Team for the music and the inspiration, Ton Roosendal and anyone who has ever supported and/or contributed to the devlopment of Blender.
Thanks Guys! :D
The main aim in creating this animaton was to show the capabilities of open source software, in this case Blender. Of course this wasn't enough for a good mark in art :P so i added in a weird storyline and the concept of a "Zen Experience" as the character takes on a strange journey. The meaning is open for interpretation (as that is the purpose of art in most cases) so any comments are appreciated.

Unfortunately this didn't get preselected for Art Express. Just thought i'd mention it in case people were wondering :)

haha, thanks a lot. unfortunately i didn't get preselected, so, no, i didn't get into art express. the exam wasn't too bad, actually. luckily for me the artist in the first short answer response was one i had studied in class, so that made it a lot easier. and don't worry, i was just like you when i first started. i know people who didn't have an idea until the last few weeks and still got a really good mark. just think about what you like and something will come to you. it did for me! :P

[ScannerWoman]

pretty cool! :)

(dont worry, i didnt get into Art Express either! :D)

I used a program called Framethief for my Body Of Work, so this Blender program sounds mighty interesting to me - is it easy to use?

[sandrine191]
