Exam Project: The Fallout

It has turned out to be an amazing 48 hours since I put my video on Youtube. I really wasn't expecting the response that I have received from it everybody has been so positive.

Deer Brains (a local art/design blog) have written an article about my work.

I also received this message via twitter from a lady from Louisiana :
"FYI my son loved the vid...he's almost 15 and obsessed with how things work so he had to watch it several times lol."

Official Xbox Magazine UK have also posted the video on their Twitter page.

All this has been very exciting and I hope it is a sign of things to come for this video.

Exam Project: Production Stills

The following are a set of production stills taken whilst creating the animation documenting the process of making the milk bottle tops:

The Wall:


Foam is attached to LEGO to be inserted into the milk bottle tops

LEGO with double sided foam on top

LEGO and milk bottle tops ready to be put together

Cutting the LEGO base into 528 pieces which are then glued to the wall, the base pieces provide an attaching method for the keeping the milk bottles on the wall.
Laying out the 528 wall mounts to ensure they all the match up. The mounts are 22 wide and 24 tall.

More milk bottle tops!

Painting the milk bottle tops. ( a two step method explained in my journal)

Exam Project: The Launch Pt.2

So last night I had a amazing total of 300 views on the Bottle Top Motion. I posted it around a few well known people on Twitter on the off chance that they might view it, even comment on it but I never expected what would happen. Tim Lovejoy (BBC presenter) reposted a link to my video on Twitter. I also posted it to Jamie Wilkinson, who I followed after his talk ar Art2.0 (a part of the Transmediale trip we went on in February) he replied to me saying 'awesome video! Where'd you find it?' I now have found out he posted it on his profile on mag.ma (a website I had never heard of which by the looks of it is a website for sharing Youtube videos), this might be part of the reason that when I woke up this morning I had over 600 views on the video!

Exam Project: The Launch

Around an hour ago I published my stop-frame animation, Bottle Top Motion, to Youtube and put it on my twitter feed. The response has been amazing and I have had just over 100 views in an hour! This is astonishing and I am really pleased with the feedback the public are giving me, people who I dont even know are talking to me about it on Twitter. This gives me hope that the video will spread virally.
