Raise Awareness Moving Image Project | RSPB Birds from Laura Mallaghan on Vimeo .

With this project, I did enjoyed doing the gifs and moving images. But it was really long hard, frustrated, stressful work to do, even with 12 weeks project that I tried to done all 4 moving images. But, still, I am really pleased with all of my 4 moving images. So, I am happy how the bird movements and flying works really well, that how I worked out in my head and worked out from the images/photos. All good!

  Birds need water to drink and bathe during winter. Setting off fireworks near to nesting and roosting birds can cause disturbance and stress. Help the injury birds from the window accident. How songbirds survives with food during winter.

This is some kind of testing or experiment thing. This was at the end of my 2nd gif, seeing the text work. I used ink and my handwriting style I wasn’t so sure to use this text in it, and also quite fast. I may not using it for final, but we’ll find out.

Well, this month had been really busy and stressful. So, these are some storyboard for moving image/animation/gif project, the brief i chose is to make a series of 3 or 4 (if i can do) gifs to raise awareness about a social, cultural, political, economic or environment issue. What i am doing is basically environment issue, for  birds . I did some research on  RSPB , they have many advice of helping birds, which are easy for me to get some ideas for gifs, like these photos of storyboards for example. After sketched out some storyboard, i find it quite difficult to choose 4 of them are more useful to raise awareness and to make gifs, but at the end i have made some choice (marked it with star). P.S. Sorry for that terrible lighting quality.
