Stop Motion Inspiration


Quite a cute little clip, a little slow but I love the use of the cardboard and fabric in a real world environment. It has helped me identify techniques to help me mesh people and objects into a real world animation.

This animation..... is amazing. The interactions with the water and the use of th sand to give the appearance of movement really make this animation for me. A very quirky storyline and so effective for such a short clip.

Stop Motion Inspiration


I love this animation for the way the characters move in the video, appearing to glide after each other instead of walking, and also the quirky interactions they have with their surroundings. It's also animated with real people which is the style I intend to use for my animation.

Brainstorm - The Clip

This is my individual brainstorm for "The Clip" on the topic of Industrial Design. Personally, I used the group brainstorm for the purposes of brainstorming, but made a flow chart to arrive at the decision of focusing on what I believe could be termed "Renewable Design". This will be explained in my standpoint on Industrial Design.

Spot Cleaning Company Advertisement

This is our group's advertisement for "Spot Cleaning Company" for the second DSDN101 Group Project.


Spot Cleaning Company is a house cleaning service targeting families with young children, particularly busy or overworked parents who are often not able to allow time to maintain a clean household in their busy schedules.

Spot Cleaning Company understands these needs, and aims to provide a fun and friendly cleaning service to help ease the stress of your busy lifestyle by providing a professional cleaning service that maintains our high standard of cleanliness and hygiene whilst being family-friendly and entertaining the children.

Our advertisement reflects this with the use of our clean and friendly mascot, Spots the Dog; a mischievous and helpful labrador who both cleans to a high standard and serves as a role model for children, showing them that keeping the house clean can be a fun and exciting chore. This is also reflected with our use of the soundtrack "Yakkity Sax" from the Benny Hill Show. 

Summarily, the mantra of Spot Cleaning Company is "Making Families Happy", a reflection on the company's dedication to helping busy families maintain a joyful and harmonious lifestyle whilst living in a clean environment, and no matter how dirty the mess we keep your house feeling like home.

Here's our group brainstorm for Industrial Design, where we focused on the extremist components of Mass Production versus Niche Design, and related them all to the fundamental principals of Renewable Design
