'Dissociative disorders are characterized by an involuntary escape from reality characterized by a disconnection between thoughts, identity, consciousness and memory. People from all age groups and racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds can experience a dissociative disorder'. 'The symptoms of a dissociative disorder usually first develop as a response to a traumatic event, such as abuse or military combat, to keep those memories under control. Stressful situations can worsen symptoms and cause problems with functioning in everyday activities. However, the symptoms a person experiences will depend on the type of dissociative disorder that a person has.'  Symptoms Symptoms and signs of dissociative disorders include: Significant memory loss of specific times, people and events Out-of-body experience...

https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/conditions/dissociative-identity-disorder-multiple-personality-disorder Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) Last reviewed 02/08/2019  ' Definition Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a rare condition in which two or more distinct identities, or personality states, are present in—and alternately take control of—an individual. Some people describe this as an experience of possession. The person also experiences memory loss that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.' 'DID reflects a failure to integrate various aspects of identity, memory, and consciousness into a single multidimensional self. Usually, a primary identity carries the individual's given name and is passive, dependent, guilty, and depressed. When in control, each personality state, or alter, may be experienced as if it has a distinct history, self-image and identity. The alters' characteristics—in...

I am trying to plot out all of the movement of the dragon before I begin to to the out lines of him for the animatic. 

I have finished the one out of 3 of the shot of my bestiary project, I just need to create the textures and edit in adobe after effects.

As one of my shots is very long, I have decided to shorten My overall piece. Instead of having extra shots (title and credit sequence) I am going to stick to just three shots. I have decided to continue with the tea cup, church fence and church.   Recently visiting Biddy's tea room, I discovered a prop that I desired for my tea cup and took a photo on my Iphone Se. Using my phone, the proportion of the photo does not fit the standard screen size (1920x1080) . To fix this, I used Adobe Photoshop to make an illusion of the photo being taken in this screen size. Original photo took on my Iphone Using Photoshop, I used the quick selection tool to highlight around the tea cup then blurred the background using an Gaussian blur. To make the image appear bigger, using the eye dropper tool I selected the main colors and with a soft brush used the colours to add into the extended frame; which i then re did the section tool with the new added background and did anther blur. I then...

just need to add texture and glow in after effects to the crystals and any needed in-between. For the rest I need to highlight and shade the body, create textures for the skin to be added in after effects, neaten up some of the layers and facial features. Then I need to begin on the other two scenes, record sound for my dragon and folio sound for the nature and edit it all together for this project.

This week I blocked out all of the main body parts of my character in the first shot. I just need to add in-between to slow down the action, add the extra details in the eyes and back and crystals. Rest of the other details such as texture and colour I will be adding in after effects. For this project overall I still need to do edit the tea cup photo, add steam and animate my dragon coming out and the church scene. I also need to research into sounds for my creature and record the respective folio sounds.

My first animatic was too long, and was suggested to cut down the scene. I shortened it greatly, and changed the ending to the dragon looking directly towards the camera.

so far i have added fire, and trying to work out the in- betweens. My animation is very rough, and I have been pointed out that i need to work on the consistency of proportions as the head enlarges and shrinks as well as the arms, which i will fix when i do the final layer and polish.
