Cause-to-Effect

This post is about one of my YouTube videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcz_a4wDMQI

I promised you a video, and I'm pleased I managed to deliver this week! I worked on some domino toppling but I wasn't pleased with the end result, therefore didn't want to upload it. I had the idea for this about a week ago and managed to realise it in animation form in one day which has to be a record for me.

I'm thinking of doing a longer version, that's planned more, flows more smoothly and has a full track of clinking, clicking sound effects to give it a more real edge. As I wanted to get this uploaded as soon as possible, I left out an audio track - I hope you'll forgive me ;)

I also really like the white background, which somehow manages to capture what I love about computer animation, possibly because I'm a massive Pixar fan, and their logo is animated on a white background.

Before you ask, yes, it's inspired by the Honda - "Isn't it nice when everything just works?" ad. Also, it's partly to raise awareness of this blog, as my clone-style video-blogging wasn't very good.

Comment if you have any ideas, suggestions, criticisms or just want to say hello. :)

Thanks for reading this.

Hey there

Hello,

I'm Pete / Christian / 17 / Bloke / Boyfriend / From the UK / Creative / Visual Learner

That's all the basics out the way; We can get to the interesting stuff now.

I really like the idea of posting blogs, especially to make it a focus point for the creative projects I love to work on, so here goes.

I'm doing something unusual today; I've taken a camera around with me (and used a webcam to film myself sleeping) to document my whole day. The idea being there will be one day in 2010 that I can recall whenever I want.

I finished my GCSEs in 2008 with less-than-excellent results, yet for a couple of months over those 2 years I was in a student-run pantomime called Rumpelstiltskin which raised about £200 for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Taking part was fun as well as being very productive, and I'd love to do something else creative to try and raise more money for charity.

That's enough to be getting on with!

Comment with what you think of me filming my entire day & the charity fund-raiser, especially if you have any ideas or would like to contribute.
