My final design!
This in an intro mood board towards my new assignment requiring us to use our imaginative minds to create a unique design onto an old style camera.
Here I have began my research on several urban-like artists that inspire me to do work similar to theirs or improve on.
Task 1 - Liam Sheephaard
Deadline
Deadline is an interesting stop motion animation and it brings the visual focus onto sticky notes , something to simple but so important. Deadline , stating the name it is obviously about a piece or work that is due in on a set time. Going through through the frames it shows your more and more about what happens when you leave work to late and you do it within your last few remaining minutes. My two favourite frames are where he begins to play block buster with his book above with the sticky notes representing the actual game also using the famous driving game for Gameboy users.
Rippled
Rippled is more of an advanced piece of stop motion which portrays the image of a suburban wasteland where all the lights hide and such within secret. Working on a piece for 6 months makes the stop motion animation itself look effective due to the amount of time put into it. I personally like the lights and ripples they use in the video in a dark environment , it makes it stand out a huge amount and created a diverse contrast effect.
AT-AT DAY AFTERNOON
This animation is shorter than the others. It brings a fictional character/object to life with stop motion which I find humorous and excellent at the same time. This kind of work must of taken awhile to complete because of how close the frames are together its doesn’t even look like a stop motion. This animation definitely works with how the aimed to create it portraying the AT-AT as a pet dog.
The PEN Story
This stop motion was produced at a very high standard and also for a camera company promotion of how long “Olympus” have been around for . In the stop frame animation I didn’t really have a certain part I like or disliked because I loved it all , it was well balanced , not to much for the eyes to take in. I would say this stop motion is very successful due to the professionalism used in this piece of work.
This is my attempt at creating an info graphic about game console generations , Overall it was a tough challenge as I am not used to hardcore research (thanks Rudy) but luckily we were given bits of info to cut down which I did by units sold of which console and the top five selling games within that console.
I worked with the design a few times and had several ideas but when for a very basic approach using simplistic colors and easy to read text.
COPYRIGHT
Intellectual properties
Copyright
Copyright protects many creative designs for example pieces of art work and images belonging to the original artist. You should only copyright a piece of work with the owners permission
Basically , copyrighting a photo will protect the original image from being stolen and falsely credited however copyright will not prevent the idea itself from being remade and used for inspiration.
If your image’s copyright term has expired it has the possibility to be credited to whoever wants to take credit for it due to there being non copyright.
A provision in copyright law that allows for the use of copyrighted works under some specific circumstances and for particular reasons such as criticism, comment, scholarship or research. Fair use is understood throughout four main factors
If you wish to copyright a piece of work which was no created or taken by you , you must ask for the owners permission to copyright the image.
Copyright applies to original artistic works such as paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures, photographs, diagrams, maps, works of architecture and works of artistic craftsmanship.
So, for example, cartoon characters may have copyright protection and if you wish to copy the characters onto cakes, wallpaper and so on, you will almost certainly need a licence to do this to avoid infringing copyright.
If you wish to use or copy copyright protected artistic works you may need permission from the right holder, unless copyright exceptions apply.
In the case of a drawing of an article to be mass-produced, there will only be copyright in the article made to the design in the drawing if the article itself is also an artistic work. This would have included something that could be called a work of artistic craftsmanship. However, design right protection might exist for such an industrially produced item even if there is no copyright. Applying for a registered design is another possibility
In the case of written (including software and databases) theatrical, musical or artistic (including photographic) works, the author or creator of the work is also the first owner of any copyright in it. The only exception to this is where the work is made by an employee in the course of his or her employment. In some situations two or more people may be joint authors and joint owners of copyright.
In the case of a film, the principal director and the film producer are joint authors and first owners of the copyright (and the economic rights). Similar provisions to those referred to above, apply where the director is employed by someone.
In the case of a sound recording the author and first owner of copyright is the record producer, in the case of a broadcast, the broadcaster; and in the case of a published edition, the publisher.
What is possible with stop motion
There are loads of techniques that can be used but I will list a few :
- Personifying the object (Personification) aka giving the desired object a persona
- Creating a unique way of Filming but by using still images (frames)
- You can use Lego’s to reinact favourite scene of box office movies
- Not only can you apply it to music and films but it can practically be used anywhere in todays media
- You can use plastisine to create characters from a ball to a full developed character
- You can bend,break and morph anything to your will using desired objects for e.g using a shirt to move around someone then finally be placed on proper to their body (appropriately)
- Not only can you create a whole new scene or how everyday life goes about but you can do almost anything
- You can create a stop motion containing a bullet being consumed into a figurine creating a real life effect illusion
- You can make figurines/Characters fly throughout your stop motion with wings or just super natural powers
- You could make a figurine or plastisine characters have there own story by using stop motion by adding voices or sound effects
- You could use the camera to capture different angles of your stop animation , to make it look more dramatic for e.g someone falling into lava you could use a birdseye view as they are falling
- Using a slow shutter speed to create a blurry depth of field to make the character more focused
- Take your Frames into after effects and give it a cheesy intro similar to cartoons like Tom & Jerry
- Use photoshop to edit your frames individually to create or remove a background you don't want
Delta Heavy - Heavy
This stop motion animation was done with a lot of props for e.g board games like guess who and scrabble
There are 5-6 shots all the way through
I could use these techniques in an advances purpose for a client wanting a stop motion video to promote another creative art like music
