Second year at Lincoln University has begun. Everyone is back with new ideas, wanting to get started, ready to do stuff, to learn new skills, to make new friends and most importantly to be creative. At least that’s what it is like for me.

I can’t believe it’s already been a year. In year one our project for Digital Media was to create a 20sec sequence for one of three given titles. In addition we had to create a web page to display it on. It was my first time working with Adobe software but since I had a brilliant tutor (yes Graham if you’re reading this, give yourself a pat on the shoulder) I quickly learned the skills necessary for this project. The result you can see below:

So why am I mentioning all of this if this blog is all about our year two projects? At the end of the year I want to be able to compare it to all my new achievements, maybe laugh at how long it took me to create 20sec worth of material but most of all I am just proud of the result. In a way it is my motivation for this year to keep on learning new skills and to get better.

But I have learnt so much more already. Over the summer I created a new web page for my mum (link). It’s not perfect, I know that, but it is so much better to what she had before. I also started a new animation project. I decided to look in to stop motion animation (video below).

Long story short, what I want to say is that I’m really exited for second year to begin.
