Technical Journal
The finalized result, all screenshots of the GIFs posted within a Facebook group titled ‘’for single dating in malta’’, much to my amusement this allowed for the works to become fully meta, enabling them to co-exist with actual photos of individuals attempting to ‘’sell’’ themselves online. This enabled the works to in effect come full circle, becoming in a sense what inspired their very creation. Overall I am satisfied and amused with the finalized result.
Technical Journal:
Constructed various profiles within social media, i.e. Facebook and begging to upload them on groups as a proof of concept and moreover set about creating and exploring the perfect group to post these into, in effect allowing for a meta level of art to occur.

Programs used:
Photoshop Blender
Method:
This GIF was perhaps one of the most basic animations in which the smaller ‘’child’’ bust was animated in a basic movement and each placement marked within the frames.
This animation was then exported as separate images and placed as layers within Photoshop wherein the background was altered.Following this they where then exported in their final state.
D with K ,stands for divorced with Kid, amused by the manner the smaller avatar figure eases into the scene.

This animation was made utilizing the same technique as those prior, with basic motion being use within blender to rotate the bust per frame.
This was then edited and exported via Photoshop, wherein the layers where exported as Frames within the timeline.
Married But looking, an acronym which is complicated in terms of implication. Thus it served as an interesting exercise in creating what this acronym implies simplistically. Given the previous GIFs I have created, I chose to display this in the most minimal manner, as it would otherwise have been too visually busy. The concept of the uncanny Sam (being both a representation of any and all virtual profiles and avatars) returns and was utilized as needed to great effect.

Method:
The bust was augmented and intentionally combined with a sphere before beign sculpted together. .
A more complicated system of animation was employed for this GIF as it utilized physics and calibrating various details such as material properties within Blender. This included texture, material (rubber) as well as weight simulations.
This was then exported and edited via Photoshop to have the desired background, than the layers where utilized as frames within the timeline, copied and pasted in reverse so as to give smooth transitioning.
The concept of this GIF was that of the term HWP, Height Weight Proportionate as a description. I found such a term amusing and peculiar, especially when used for self description. Thus this concept came to mind, where a ball’s height and weight is still proportionate. Amusing, but all the while genuinely looking into the odd manner humanity chooses to categorize and sell themselves to others. GIFs available at: https://giphy.com/channel/vorare

Numerous attempts had to be created to manifest the desired effect for this Gif. This includes the technically more impressive use of a moving camera with a moving path within Blender, however this was unsatisfactory. After 2 more attempts the final version, of which the ‘’crowd of lovers’’ is moving behind was seen as far more interesting. Facebook’s color scheme was again chosen as it proved to be more aesthetically appealing. The GIF reflects the description of ‘’Single as Fuck’’.

Method:
All prior methods where employed for this GIF.
The Bust was repeatedly placed and layered atop one another within Blender and then removed, with the final busy being revealed in eventuality with the final frame.
This was then exported as single frames and given a suitable background.
Tocotox, for those who are ‘’Too complicated to explain.’’ I found this phrase interesting and difficult yet interesting to try and interpret. 3 versions of the GIF with various transitional frames where attempted. before deciding on the final version

Blender
Method:
The bust which was featured prior was repeated multiple times and arranged within a composition within Blender.
The multiple background busts were then selected and animated to move backwards.
This was exported and edited via Photoshop wherein the appropriate background was instead added.
This was again then animated into various frames and exported into the final GIF format.

Method:
The same manner of animating the full figure (parenting armature bones to a model) within Blender was employed within the head, but instead localized to the various areas of the facial features. Rather than allow said armature to function as is typically desired ( basic facial movements) this was instead exaggerated and animated to augment entire chunks of the head.
The overall movements were frames and exported as separate images wherein they received a green-screen like effect, and where then exported similarly as the prior GIF created.

Experimentation with Tinder related colour schemes. In this case the same armature of moving a body (using Blender) was instead utilized to created expressions. It was taken the it’s extremes to create a more warped quality. This was then completely remade using the same aesthetic so as to match the rest of the theme, and moreover correct other aesthetic qualities which where unsatisfactory. The concept behind D/D is the term Drug and disease free, which in and of itself raises far more suspicions.

Connecting the camera to follow a linear path within blender leads to a far smoother transition of frames and an overall better performance and finalized animation to be created.
This was achieved by creating a straight path and binding the camera to it by means of parenting (Ctrl+p).
This was rather basic , however the final result is of far more sophistication than had it been simply augmented within Photoshop or after effects to replicate such a motion.

Sketchbook Entry:
Further progression has occurred and a series of GIFs related to the manner in which individuals advertise themselves and traits online. Overall the colours of social media platforms are to be utilized and a post-vapor wave aesthetic is to be utilized to display the contemporary times. Overall font utilized by social media are to moreover be employed ( as was the case within this GIF, wherein Segoi UI was used). Moreover, moving cameras within blender was utilized adding to a far more organic movement in terms of camera work. The concept of creating a series based predominantly around this central bust, an androgynous character simply known as Sam is moreover noticeably being developed.
It is intended that the same persona of ‘’Sam’’ would be used as ti could perhaps serve to tell the narrative of a virtual persona who repeatedly posts similar selfies of themselves online repeatedly. Though the model will be the same or varying to certain degrees, it is intended to be the same ‘’character’’ who displays uncanny visual elements which is more obvious of an artificial being created to be consumed by others.

Overall better product, reflecting the separate notion of how we both sell, advertise and consume other people’s profiles and traits. This was again achieved by animation within Blender and then editing it to place it within a modified frame via Photoshop. This modified frame was itself Photoshoped and augmented to the desired effect.
The nation of the image being within the placement of a virtual space is moreover interesting and to be looked into further.
