Filming Day

What a day! Last weekend me and my friends had to film a short film for the purposes of the course “Film Production”. At first me and my friend, Mike had to go and prepare the scenes where our film was going to take place. So we driven all the way from Limassol to Nicosia (Cyprus), at his grandmother house to clean and to see what would work and what wouldn’t in our movie, the angles, the lights that we were going to use etc.

On the second day the rest of the team came to meet us at the filming location, where we all shot the scenes  of our film just to make sure exactly what we were going to shoot. We knew that we didn’t have enough time to make everything perfect because our actors told us that they were going to be available for only 4 hours so we had to do everything that we could in order to make the best of it.  

We had the chance to work with two of the best actresses of Cyprus (some people might say). They were professionals, they acted so well and we all had a blast!

It was definitely an amazing experience and I would love to do it again! 

Another project

                     

The purpose of this project was to create an imaginary commercial for a festival using Autodesk Maya. So I decided to create a commercial for a music festival that would contain music from all the decades and would take place at Limassol marina  (Cyprus). I had so much fun making it, the hours that it took me to render the whole thing though was torture, especially when I knew that the deadline of this project was getting closer and closer. Fortunately I managed to finish it in time and this is the result! I hope you like it! 

Το γάλα

                     

This is a short film that I made for the "Film Production" course. Unfortunately you won't understand the point of the film unless you understand Greek so here is a small narration of my short film.

A guy wakes up a morning to realise that he's out of milk, thus he must drive to the supermarket to buy some. At his way to the supermarket though, he runs over another guy who already bought milk and kills him. I had so much fun filming this short film and I hope this shows in the video.

Cinderella Shoe

                    

This video was made for a project that I had to hand in today. The purpose of the project was to think and create an imaginary product and make an advertisement for it. So I made this "cinderella shoe" that if a woman wears, she will find her "prince charming". I know, I know, this is a sexist think to do BUT I see it as a hilarious sarcastic joke that mocks the women (specifically the cypriot women) that desperately want to find THE ONE but can't find him because they're all assholes (or so they say).

This is me

This is an illustration of myself that I did today. Don't know if it looks like me, a friend of mine said that it reminds her of Disney's Quasimodo and since I am a huge fan of Disney I'm happy :p 

Lego

                       

"Everything is awesoooome", hehe! I made this lego character in Maya 2015 for a course called 3D Modelling & Animation 1. I got inspired by another lego character that already exists (guitar player) so this design was not actually my idea. I love this course and I am pleased with my results. I hope you like it, cheers! 

3D Modelling

Aaaaand it's finally done! I've been trying to make this room for a couple of weeks but I've had a great time doing it! This is a project that I must give tomorrow for the course 3D Modelling & Animation 1 and the purpose of this project was to make a room using Maya software. So here it is, 3 screenshots (with each having a different angle) of my 3D room. It took almost the whole day to render and although it's not perfect, considering the number of classes I've taken so far I am pleased with the result. Do you like it?

Ο παππούς, Grandpa (o pappous)

I made this today after uni when I was bored (yes it was my first day back at uni after a long, and not so nice summer). So we were eating lunch with my girls and a strange old man came with this old accordion asking for money and I was inspired to make this illustration. And even though he wasn't from Cyprus this illustration kind of reminds me an old Cypriot man thinking "Ίντα μπου θωρείς" (pronounced "enta mpou thoris"), which in Cypriot means "What are you looking at?!". I created this in Photoshop using only one layer and a trackpad, I know I must be crazy. 

During my internship at ICT lab no2

                     

So this is the second 3D model that I did during my internship at ICT lab! The procedure was the same as the previous model that I posted here, in my blog (so if you didn't watch it yet go watch! :p )

African-American girl

I started this in my sketchbook which I scanned and made it look like this in Photoshop. I had so much fun making it although I found difficulties while drawing her hand. I know it's not perfect but I'm pleased with the result.

During my Internship at ICT lab

                      

This is a 3D model that I did during my internship at ICT lab! I used a 3D scanner (2 cameras & 1 projector). Then I cleaned, aligned and merged the model using Meshlab, a program that in my opinion is a bit nerve wracking. I feel so excited I hope you like it.

Highschool Sketch

So this is something that I did maaaany years ago, while I was still in high school. I used to draw A LOT back then (not that I don't now :p). I used aquarelle for this one and although it's a bit rough I think it's quite nice considering my age at the time that I did it. I hope you like it :)

This is an animation project that I did a few months ago. Hope you like it :)

Post Cards

What do you think of my card postal designs? 

My first post

Hello and welcome to my Blog, this is my very first post and I'm so excited! So this was a project that I did on my first year at University in the Typography course.
