Brilliant choatic animation.

to a super cool tune from crystal castles

I’ve got this song to work with. Crazy tune. I’m going to try and stay away from the easy trap of random scenes and surreal shots. just seems a little predictable. I’m going to try and add some narrative to it. Maybe something with a robot…

NEW PROJECT

And Print to Pixel is it's name!


We've all been given a peace of music to work with to create an animation that works with the music.

I have been given i piece by JSBach, the Baroque composer. Although i am not happy with this (i find the music void of many good ideas for me and hope to switch choice), I have had a listen and wrote a few words that the piece of music reminds me of.

Rich, Pompous, Chase (low notes vs. high notes), imitation, repetition, BIG WIGS, formal dance.


I can obviously do work to this, but I won't enjoy it as much as i could with another piece, seeing as this piece of music reminds me of a bunch of rich pompous people born into a world of rich, pompousness. Laughing at poor, unfortunate people who have every available disease and infection available in the 18th Century... even though the rich people probably ave syphilis aswell.

Additional photography print.

I also decide to produce an A3 print of this photograph:

The reason the shadows are blurred like that is because i use a long light with multiple tiny LED lights on it, creating seperate shadows for each light. It really gives it a feeling of fast movement. AND NO PHOTOSHOP WAS USED! these are straight from the camera on to a printer.

Final Poster Prints.

Here is my final GF Smith Paper poster. A simple idea using my folding i had been using for the project, and Print, for the text. I wanted to spiral the paper around the text, it all revolves around the details of the poster. Design 101 right there.

Attempting final poster designs.

Here are a few attempts at a final photograph of my work. I'm finding this part a little frustrating actually, trying to get the lighting right and everything.

 

These are my favourite four out of them all that i have taken. i quite like the fact that you sometimes can't tell what the forms are when they blend together.

BIRDS!

Heres a bit of a theme i've got going on.

Here is a doodle i did a few weeks ago that I now realise could be quite relevant to this project.

I discussed this during an assessment and we thought this looks like a flock of birds. This could be a very good final piece idea.
