Semester 2 Component 1: Pre Production

For the next part of our project that for many would begin in semester two, we would be making our own animation sequence, totalling about 90 seconds in length. It is something that i would love to do, and i get the opportunity to start on for the next couple of weeks. Unlike the previous 10 weeks it will be an independent subject, which will make a nice break from group projects, as insightful as the previous semester was. There is next to no limitation to the animation which gives me free reign on the idea.

 MODERNISM IN ART AND ANIMATION

Modernism' and 'Post- Modernism' are both terms referring each to a different philosophical movement that originated just after the 1st World War. In the wake of death and destruction that the previous 4 years had wrought upon the world. The influence of modernism was more of a Ergonomics over Aesthetics in such areas such as carpentry, architecture and other such creative professions. Modernism gave birth to such names as Picasso, who is a well known name the world over. This wasnt the first instance of modernism but the aftermath of the war was what gave the style popularity.

Im sure it comes as no surprise to hear that post modernism came short after the outbreak of modernism. To some, post modernism is considered not just a style but a period of time, encompassing many different styles, one such example of this is none other than another well known name, Andy Warhol. His work was an explosion of colour, which gave birth to the idea of the pop art movement.

IDEAS

If im honest i have no idea of where i want to take my animation currently. I had a discussion with my tutor catchy as to where to take it, the idea of combining my illustration module with this component of the semester, cropped up and is an idea i potentially want to pursue further.

Other ideas include song lyrics, film quotes or scenes, perhaps a Speech or maybe even a sentence that was written somewhere.

One day a farmer finds a miracle in a cave near the waterfall, a guitar. He tunes and learns how to play the guitar and is overcome with the music. He decides to show it to the priests, he believes that they will praise his name for letting people make their own music. However, at his presentation, he is met with rejection, as the priests dismiss his idea, as it "doesnt fit the plan". They destroy his guitar and tell him not to annoy them further.

Week 10 - Final touch ups

Image
Above is the play on tour with our animations that were created by our group, as you can see my swimming animation made the final cut, and i feel looked good on the large screens behind the plays.  I was lucky in that most of my aspect ratios were correct so did not need any last minute adjusting unlike other members of my group, so i spent this session and week helping others fix their aspect ratios. During this project we did has a problem with one of our classmates who went AWOL after a few weeks and we failed to get in touch with him at all for the rest of the semester, so it was up to my classmate and i to do his scenes for him. My classmate charlie really pulled through and worked insanely hard to get his scenes done, as well as taking on the leadership role. While he did an amazing job, he could have delegated me some of the scenes our classmate had left us as during this week i was pretty much out of things to do and wanted scenes to help pad out my portfolio for

S2C1: 2112 and Dream Sequences

Image
Following on from my initial ideas i began looking at the song and creating ideas for the piece. i looked a famous dream sequence done by salvador dali, to gauge inspiration for how to create my animatic. Salvador Dali Dalí was a skilled  draftsman , best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His  painterly  skills are often attributed to the influence of  Renaissance  masters.His best-known work,  The Persistence of Memory , was completed in August 1931. Dalí's expansive artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media. Dalí attributed his "love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes" to an "Arab lineage", claiming that his ancestors were descended from the  Moors . Dalí was highly imaginative, and also enjoyed indulging in unusual and grandiose behavior. His eccentric manner and att
