Movement - Rough Animation

(I don't know why the side bars exported in red)

I really wanted to try animate one of my scenes which I storyboarded during the Animation Elective.

I went with the simplest scene since I don't have a lot of time left and I'm unsure if I'll be able to fully finish it.

It definitely doesn't encapsulate what my project is about but it was just a fun experiment.

'MOVEMENT' project statement.

I am exploring MOVEMENT through water.

My 3 Electives to develop this through are

Sculpture and combined media

Ceramics

Fashion

As part of the fashion elective we first created some quick shapes on paper from these marks which represented our chosen subject of exploration of which mine was water. I created ripples, waves and undulations found when water is moved by any force. These shapes informed how I designed my fashion pieces.

From here when I continued into my sculpture elective I experimented with water and recreating movement which I did in contained spaces, I recorded the movement of water when force and other fluids and objects are introduced to it. This helped me to capture various forms and shapes which informed a continual development of play.

I brought the expression of the re-created movements into my ceramics elective which developed further and more interesting patterns as a basis to work with clay.

In the end I brought together the water element captured in my ceramic pieces which I turned into a standalone sculpture piece tying in textures from my fashion elective.

Inflatables Workshop - Sculpture

This was my first experience in the sculpture workshop this year and I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. It allowed us all to work on different ideas and bring them to life in a 3D method.

For my project I am focusing on the elements and the movement within them. Over the last couple of weeks I have started to focus more on the element Earth. So when going into this workshop I had the idea of creating something that had an organic type of shape.

My idea started with the idea of the movement of branches. So I cut up my plastic into different sections that differed in shape and size, not one piece was the same. I did not use a measure to cut the plastic as to allow as much organic shape to occur.

To connect all the pieces I used the heat gun mostly and then also some sellotape to connect parts that were difficult to secure or that became visible after air was applied. 

After I connected all the pieces I used the pump to see if there was any holes and I patched up any areas that were causing issue. 

In the end the piece did not turn out like I expected but at the same time I did not hate how it turned out. I found that each time it was blown up it gave off a different shape and effect, below I have placed to images of when it was blown up. The first almost looks like a person with their arms crossed above their head, while the other has a more hand or tree look to it.

After we all had our pieces finished we attached them to a large tube like piece so that air could be blown into all of our pieces at the same time. This did not work as well as we had hoped. There did not seem to be enough air pressure in the machine to give enough boost to all the pieces at the same time.

Overall it worked better than expected and in a more unusual way than I was prepared for.

~movement project~

Experimenting with composition and colour. These are some of the most chaotic photos that i got (that were in frame) and i wanted to see what type of movement could be comunicated by putting them together, and i picked the secondary colours of the RGB colour palett due to us being more familiar with the primary colours of the RGB colour palett - hoping that this may add to communicating chaos.

Movement - Painting

I wanted to capture the essence of a stain glass window and though I think I slightly managed to do that, I could've added more.

I do find it hard to concentrate on small details, which I think hinders my abilities a lot of the time, but Im very happy with how this painting turned out nonetheless.

I wanted this piece to show how plants grow towards the sun and usually recline or close when not in sunlight.

Movement - Paper Cut Outs

I wanted to play around with a paper theatre aesthetic, so I printed out my frames and separated them by layers.

I then painted some waves for the foreground, I was going to make sunflowers for the sun frame but didn't have the time.

I don't think the depth of the frames is captured that well in the photos, but I do think the waves turned out well.

Movement - Background Frames

We were told to create work as if we were preparing to pitch our animation ideas.

I wanted to finish my sketch of my art nouveau frames that would be used as a background for the characters in my animation.

I also wanted to demonstrate how they would move, so with a little bit of editing I manage to create gifs with them

Movement - Animatic

Based on the storyboards I previously made, I created an animatic to establish the timing and movement of my animation.

This was done through Premiere Pro, and though it was my first time using the program I found it quite intuitive.
