I, You, We, Us

At first, I felt pretty inadequate because I didn’t think I succeeded in creating a piece of language that I could build off, so when I got home I decided to give it another shot. After half an hour of experimenting, I came up with a poem that I was quite proud of. 

My research could have been a lot better. I should’ve done more research on the process of packaging, I should have recorded my visual references, however I was mainly focusing on storyboarding my outcome and testing what it would look like.

Overall, I am very proud of my 10 second animation, seeing as I had never used the clip art studio animation software before. The people before and after me in the video, communicated really well with me. It took quite a few tries getting the positioning of the cup of water and flying box correct but we got there in the end.

Music I commute to

Idles - Ultra Mono album, and never fight a man with a perm

motionless in white: thoughts and prayers, broadcasting from beyond the grave, brand new numb, rats, soft, untouchable, not my type, 570, reincarnate, 

Nothing but thieves: I was just a kid, amsterdam, number 13, unperson, is everybody going crazy, ban the music, phobia, brother

Pvris: heaven, what’s wrong, gimme a minute, stay gold, old wounds, loveless, use me, things are better

pulp: disco 200, common people

Royal blood: lights off, hook line and sinker, ten tonne skeleton, trouble’s coming

drake: the motto

logic: homicide, soul food II, gang related, under pressure

Sondre Lerche: serenading in the Trenches

the 1975: love it if we made it, loving someone, somebody else, girls, love me

Fire (Pozar)

Written, directed and drawn by David Lynch

Believing Is Seeing

By far, my favourite project yet. I honestly really enjoyed building the logistics of my own world and translating what it looks like in my head onto paper. Illustrating what my world felt like really helped me to visualize the atmosphere I was trying to create.

My quote was “The tawny field of burnt grass led into the tight grid of the mysterious buildings”. To me ‘tight grid’ and ‘burnt grass’ implied something sinister and restrictive, so for some reason my brain said “ah, yes this is a cult”. I researched the psychology behind a cult environment, and how emotional blackmail is used to control members. I watched interviews and ted talks about people who escaped cults, including Rose Mcgowan. After having a tutorial with Sarah, I decided to present my world in a less sinister manner, and leave it up to the audience to decided whether this was a cult or a close knit community.

When putting together the diary I enjoyed illustrating things that are not visual, for example the sound of a creaking door, or the feeling of paranoia.

I had fun writing the script for the interview because I was able to show off my research. The aim was to create a character who had just been exiled from a cult, who to her was essentially her family. Although I’m not exactly a voice actor, I tried my best to communicate the character’s vulnerability and nativity. Ryan however, did a great job as an interviewer with what he had. I literally just sent him a script and said can you record yourself saying this please.

I was frustrated with after effects. Everything was taking so long to render because my laptop isn’t really built for adobe software. My doors didn’t really come out the way I wanted but I guess it looked cool.

Improvements:

- Play around with the font and positioning of the text 

- Make the script of the interview more ambiguous, cut out the end part

- somehow make the visuals of the doors match the diary so that it looks like it’s from the same world

- make something visual for the interview
