We started off this project by cutting up various images of news prints, and then categorised them with various words.
Our next task was to try to create a narrative with 5 selected images.
My first test was using various pencil rubbings of different textures of objects and photographing them in stop motion studio while looking for the various patterns I created from it.
Another film done on stop motion studio, but looking at repeating shapes inside my house.
A character-based test animation to experiment with movement as this is my first time trying traditional animation and I wanted to start off trying something I’m familiar with before moving on to more experimental things.
Class activity where we made wacky and weird phrases using words in newspapers. we then wrote paragraphs using those words under a time limit without stopping to think.
In this test, I was experimenting with manipulation of objects. I am still unsure of what I want to do for this project and in what direction I want to go in.
I went to the Hayward gallery, and I was really inspired by this specific sculpture and I feel like this fits under the theme ‘Monochrome’.
I took a walk with my sketchbook to help generate some ideas for my animation, and I drew whatever was in my environment and tried to create some sort of story for my walk.
We went on a small trip with the class to with the topic of psychogeography in mind. I really liked the idea of psychogeography and I wanted to include it for the rest of my project and my final piece.
My final two tests were a bit more character based, and the theme was to make something ugly, however I ended up really liking this character I created so I made a few tests based off it.
My final piece revolves around this character and its point of view of its environment, using psychogeography ideas from the class walk we had. I wanted the visuals of the environment to somewhat mimic the surroundings of the walk, but not exactly replicate it, so its more of the feeling of the walk than the walk itself.
