oh shizzle...

its friday, which mean NEW ANIMATION SCREENING!

okay basically, i did a really small animation for viscom, but cause I've made a video clip within a video clip, when i export it to an avi, the animation isnt working.
so i tried converting it from a swf to an avi via screen grabbing software, but that made the whole animation really blurred and ugly.

so sorry folks, i just have to give you double next week!
i'll try and work the problem after i finish work tommorow

in the mean time, just wait patiently,

catch up on some mind numbing tv...like the Xfactor :) lol

The art of words


My word was Escaping from Eminems Rap lose yourself...'Soul's Escaping'
I did a couple more experiments with this word but they are still in progress.

10 places to hide Final-From lists project

this is VERY experimental...which i guess is good cause experimenting is always good.
tried out collage with stop motion, trying to see how that works out.

i actually had no idea how this was going to turn out and everything used in the stop motion is in the pile of stuff(aka rubbish but in art its valuable) on my desk.

i think i kind of showed that in this cause if you spotted, the people are covered by the bits of paper, and the walking is meant to show how so many people walk past you but you dont even remember them thus them hiding within the crowd. get it??

it probably makes more sense in my head.
also added the music after, and it synced up pretty well.
ah, i love prodigy.

anyway...here is my latest....


Lists, Lists, Lists




I did a lot of illustrations of each of the different lists that we had. In the end I chose the list '10 places to hide' because I had an idea of hiding from the world as a key concept. I thought of displaying this peice in collage form, as when one is collaging they are covering peices behind, as well as celebrities getting hidden with drawn sunglasses/paper layered over them.
In the end I decided I wanted to make an edgy stop motion of collage appearing.

Dictionary Love - Chosen from 30 things


This was how I expressed 'Word's fail me' in the list in our visual communication's assignment. It was meant to be a calculator expressing it's 'Love' to the dictionary but with calculator letters obviously, thus 'word's fail me'.
We then had to build on our strongest idea & I chose this one cause it had the most potential.
I thought of making an animation for the dictionary and calculator's love story & show how you don't really need words.
This is just the first part of the story, I didn't have enough time to do the rest of it. But this should keep you entertained for the mean time. I admit this is on the tad cheesy side, but hey, I'm no script writer.

Assessment

I passed!!! woo!

I had Anne as my assessment tutor, after looking at my work she told me to do Fine Art as my rotation because most of my work that I did was quite surreal. But I didn't think fine Art was the right choice for me, one because it was too free and two because there were so many people choosing the subject (which shouldn't matter but it was a little bit of a bother).
So i decided to choose Viscom, Anne said that i could change my choice after 2 weeks.

I really enjoyed my two weeks of viscom so i decided to stay.
Viscom all the way!!!
