Student animation blog which discusses the process implemented in the creation of projects and the idea and thoughts that have evolved through them. [To be continued as a personal animation project blog.]
As this project didn't have any pre-production work behind it, somehow I felt a little detached from it and feel that as a piece it is a bit weak. That could be because I know what's gone into it was a lot less than the previous crime project, although it did at least have some foundation grounded in my research of similar projects.Although, I think that the music really helped add depth and atmosphere.
All the same, I really like how this piece turned out.
As an associational experimental piece, there isn't any real structure present that I can talk about, save for that the opening and ending clock sandwich it all together to form the idea of being a complete piece.
Parallelled with the upcoming Quay Brothers' Exhibit on flow, our next assignment was decided. A very loose and broad theme enabled us to go almost anywhere with it.
Having no idea where I was going with this one, being entirely experimental, storyboarding went out the window, along with synopsis and treatment. I had decided on a theme within the directive theme flow as being time, but as such, that was as far as my knowledge went at the beginning.
Going on from that, I considered time and the flow of time. Speeding it up, slowing it down. Changing it. So I drew inspiration from some people with similar thoughts from YouTube.
What I like about this one is the rustic clock colours giving off a faded and old-time look. The angles are pretty interesting, too.
To be honest, I think the music choice isn't quite right for this one, but I like the footage. The fast forward of time lapse coupled with a reverse technique is very interesting.
As my previous attempt of time lapsing with people in a street didn't go according to plan, I was inspired to try again with this.
