My Reflection Blog - Second Study Year at NorOff - 3D Movieproduction

Friday  20 May

Long time with not writing here, but I have been busy with my school project oblig 12 the animation movie I have worked with this winter and spring. This project is finish and I will give it to the school today, one week before the deadline. I understand from the school that I have pass all the examen so far so everything is okay :-) This is the most important to me.  I also have deside to study classic camera and not animation the next 2 year and take a master degree on that. I also have a start up with movieproduction with my movieproduction company named Galaxycos Movies registrated here in Norway and have started with my first comercial movie with the shots on 15 july this summer, Working with the moviemanus and storeyboard at this time :-) It will be experienced television actress and actors acting in the movie, top models so I am very excited for the shots, it is fun for sure.

Have a nice day, Alf

Still waiting for NorOff school to give me the sensorwork of most of my finish schoolprojects from semester 3 and 4 and reply to me about my complains of sensorwork done of the school in semester 1 and 2. This is not good, we student need also continous finish sensorwork as a positive and constructive feedback when we work so hard with schoolprojects and pay plenty money for school fees. NorOff cant wait for 2 year before they do some action about this...

Friday 21 January 2011
Reason I have not write here since 12 november is not complicated. I needed to push out deadlines on many projects in the school because of less feedback one week close after 12 november. It affect me and the fact I not agree with some sensor work on school. But I still trust the school that they soon do some action and look at my complains and give me reviced correct sensorwork and grades. Then I can concentrate on the school work 100%. Push it out to summar mean school dont care if one of us students get lesser concentration comparing with the other students, and I dont belive a pro school like this do that...
I have no start the 4 semester of this 3D movieproduction and will make a short movie this winter, spring. It is a big challenge for sure.

 Friday 12 November
Making more pencil drawings and will publish them here pasing the weekend. We have also started oblig 5, making a Treatment for a short movie. Many new things there and very interesting for sure.


Friday 05 November
Very busy animating and rendering out my oblig 3 the facial expression...phuuuuu! 3d max stop up and closed down destroy the long avi file with renderings after maybe 12 hours renderings!! Sooo, I burned my fingers today and will in future rendering out important things from 3D Max Studio only single Targafiles. If I had done that today I would only have losed 1 minute instead of 12-14 hours!!

Friday 29 October

Have near finish the new rig for this oblig 3 and study facial expressions in books like "Stop Staring" and 2-3 other great books, and also study animationmovies on YouTube :-)


Friday 22 october

Have started oblig 3/project 3 given to us the school Noroff Institute in Kristiansand. I have needed to rebuild up again my 3d cartonn character Professor Geekenstein. We can borrow finish character-rig from the scool to this school project, but I think I learn more when build up from scratch and use my own rig, special with this facial expression animation because I need now to sit and make 12 new morph-target to the head and that need studies of facial expressions before and when modelling the morph-targets.

Friday 15 october

 Friday 24 september


I am in Bangkok for a short trip this week and sit inside a hotelroom modelling up 3D items from the year 1950`s, and make some drawings of Line. First 3D copy of a belt woman used in that time is finished. Not complicated, but took me some time since it need to be exactly a correct copy of that time style. It is a good learning for us students this, a thanks to the Noroff Institute.

 Friday 17 september


Has been a busy week, finish with the project 1 and started with project 2. Have made 2 of the drawings here out of 3, but are not so pleased with the nose and mouth yet on Line, need to do some more work there I can see. First drawing of Line from here back I am pleased with and will not change.

Friday 10 September

It is a day I used to work more with the drawings of the church, it is plenty timeconsuming, many details on it, but I think it will be okay. This week I have also done some more animation of Oblig one, the heavy lifting project.


Friday 03 September

This week we started our first project on school. It is a animation of a rig or character lifting some heavy object. We have 2 weeks to work with it and that is plenty time for this lesson. I done finish half of the animation this first day and will do some more next week. I have standing in front of my art staffely and drawing with pencil the old church here in the town today. It is many details, but okay to do as training in shadow understanding. This time I draw the church with a "flat" light and after that same church in sunshine when sun is from behind the church to get the shadows into the scene.

Have still a nice day then :-)

Friday 27 august 2010 - thoughts about the first study week...

This first study week on Noroff Institute has been fine to me, still If I get sick and using pencilinium. One of the reason it took little time for me to publish the first lessons. But I feel better now so it will be okay.

I have made a series of drawings on the drawing day last friday and will open a map here on my blog where it will be published.

Have a nice day then!

24 august 2010 - start of the school
Okay! A new study year is here and I am ready for it !


On this site I will write some reflections of my course regularly as a requirement from the school. It’s good, we learn of it and teacher and the school also get some input from us continuous :-)


Today is the first day of the school and I am going to study as a web student and not in ordinary class because of less of students to fill up an ordinary school class. Hopefully I can manage; at least I will try my very best as usual and hope my teacher will be patient with all my questions the next months...


I hope you visit my pages here many times, I will add drawings, images, movies and text here continuous below this reflection blog...





Have a nice day
