Is the free internet going to die?

Okay well I was just on facebook and someone posted this video up, so I thought why not watch it. If i'm honest i'm really glad I watched it because you

can now see some truth that the 'governments' of the world are CLEARLY lying and trying to protect themselves. THE MASS MEDIA.

One hell of an interesting video. WATCH IT! :)

☂1920s/1940s inspiration

Well today when I got up my mother was playing a song called Real Pretty Mama Blues and basically I just got a huge inspiring moment. So today all I have done is researched the 1920s/1940s and I have come across some pretty awesome things, for example they had slang back in them times.

-Dame ~ female

-Razz ~ to make fun of

-Java ~ coffee

-Joe ~ coffee

-Sinker ~ a doughnut

-Sheba ~ a woman with sex appeal (from the movie "Queen of Sheba"; Clara Bow)

-Kisser ~ mouth

-It - Sex appeal

-Hair of the Dog ~ a shot of alcohol

-Goofy ~ in love

and many more.

Letters from the 1920s - http://joancrawfordma.tripod.com/letters1920s.html

I found this site rather inspiring because it gave me the idea to write a love letter in my sketch book, the letter I wrote is about a guy that goes off to war and has left his sweetheart at home and writes to her, telling her that he wants to marry her once he comes back home and he just states that he loves his miss. :)

Okay another thing I absolutely love is the pin up girls in the 1940s, the art work is amazing.

There are some examples;

The last image of the pin up girl's is a rather modern one for obvious reason, I seen and thought I like the illustration, so I chipped it in. :)

Okay so today what I actually did was create a 1920s-1940s theme in my sketch book and I found it rather fun, I took some photos of the pages. I reckon they are pretty cool. :)

Some inspiring musical artist's;

-Amos Milburn

-B B King

-Big Mama Thornton

-Big Maybelle

-Bing Crosby

-Bo Diddley

-Charles Brown

-Mr. Acker Bilk

-Dinah Shore

-Dinah Washington

Have fun reading guys & dolls. :)☂

☂ Some cute animations.

Okay well like I found theses animations on youtube, their not that amazing but the concept is pretty cool. Have a watch you might actually enjoy them...shocking I know. :O

Told you, that you might enjoy them. ☺

Abih of thinking and some typing togo with that. ☂

Okay i'm slightly bored at like 2:39am..really loving how I can't sleep! I'm tired but I can't seem to turn the switch off to sleep, I think i'm worrying? About all this uni stuff and FMP shizzel...like seriously I just need to chill and start doing what I love best which is designing. I should really start doing some director stuff but i'll do that once all my planning is perfect and I when I feel ready enough to start doing it(which won't be long).

But like yeah I think because raj said our blogs should be all about are FMP's that we are just sticking to putting things that relate to are FMP's?...but I think I want to involve everything todo with my life at the moment because it all plays a part in my FMP.

Well I got a letter from swansea met the other day and I like nearly jumped through the roof I was that bloody hyper haha.

For some reason i'm tired as hell now after typing...what?! like 100 characters? haha this is a joke, it's like my brain is playing jokes on me. not fair. :(

But yeah I think i'ma get some video's up soon for my online video diary, that's if i be bothered to film myself talking about the week I just had.

Anyway I think I might make a list of what I have to do for my FMP sketches(planning).

•Finish 3D animation, interactive piece, website story boarding

•Finish up on some 3D animation, interactive piece, website research on my planning

•Film story boarding

•Do some illustrations

•Online video diary to put up this week

•Prepare for uni interview

•Create some more shizzel in photoshop and illustrator

•I wonder if I actually get this all done?

Eirther tick or cross if I do/don't get this done with-in a week ✓/✕

Anyway i'm over and out, off to sleeps now!

Byessss ♡

30 Seconds To Mars - Vox Populi

One of the most inspiring songs I have EVER heard in my life time. Have a read of the lyrics and a listen of the video.

"This is a call to arms, gather soldiers

Time to go to war

This is a battle song, brothers and sisters

Time to go to war

Did you ever believe?

Were you ever a dreamer?

Ever imagine heart open and free?

Did you ever deny?

Were you ever a traitor?

Ever in love with your bloodless disease?

This is a call to arms, gather soldiers

Time to go to war

This is a battle song, brothers and sisters

Time to go to war

Ever want to be free?

Do you even remember?

Want to be god and devil like me?

Ever want to just stop?

Do you want to surrender?

Or fight for victory?

Here we are at the start, I can feel the beating of our hearts

Here we are at the start...

Darkness falls, here comes the rain to wash away the past and the names

Darkness falls, here comes the rain to end it all, the blood and the game

Far, far away in a land that time can't change

Long, long ago in a place of hearts and gold

Far, far away in a land that time can't change

Long, long ago in a place of hearts and gold

This is a call to arms, gather soliders

Time to go to war (Far, far away...)

This is a battle song, brothers and sisters

Time to go to war (Long, long ago...)

This is a call to arms, gather soliders

Time to go to war (Far, far away...)

This is a battle song, brothers and sisters

Time to go to war

This is a call to arms, way of the night

This is a battle song, way of the night"

Piece's of my work all relating to my FMP

All the piece's of my work below are all the design's that I came up with duringsummer/christmas time/newyear's time. They ALL have some reason to relate to my final major project, Got any question's to ask about them...Just ask away. Wouldn't mind somefeedback please?

Diary Entry 1 : 5/02/2010

Okay well this is my first diary entry for my final major project and I haven't a clue what to say, if i'm honest with you.

Okay well here I go talking about this last week, Well for a starter I was stressing out because of a university interview. So I spent all weekend re-designing my design's because the size of the image's was incorrect, Then came into college on monday to start preparing my portfolio for wednesday but because I layed the design's out wrong in the actual portfolio I had to restart again on some of the pages, plus I had a problem with one of my designs on the tuesday. My avatar inspired piece came out raven blue rather then jet black, So in my interview I had to example what happened.

On the actual interview day I decided to get up at 6 and leave by 7 to get to swansea because I had been told the traffic would be horrid. People where right the traffic was horrid but the weather was terrible. I could hardly see the road due to the rain but then I start to imagine the roads all being in cartoon and the pylons also being in cartoon but bouncing like jelly at the same time, Which has influenced/inspired to create an illustration piece.

Thank you

Riah ♡
