Heyitsmaye - Vis Com Project Diary

Biscuit Day!

Probably the most chaotic day. Didn’t have any icing so I couldn’t save my biscuits. My dinner party was basically me and my friends eating sushi and drinking bubble tea. I almost forgot to make myself, so i put together what looks like a shuttlecock 2 minutes before I put it into the oven. This biscuits tasted delicious though 

Past projects? Similar concepts?

During specialism, I have explored the concept of healing by sharing my experience in hospital due to having frequent asthma attacks in the Radio project. I found the medium of sound very effective when telling my experience as there are so many sounds relating to the hospital and sickness in general. There is also the unmistakable inhaler sound that is very specific to asthma. I wish to build upon this project during FMP by interviewing my parents not only because I cannot recall most of what happened, but also gives an insight into what it was like from their perspective.

Although I had difficulty with it at first, I wish to utilise stop motion animation in my FMP because it creates the more character and materiality than digital animation. I feel like digital animation would suit the more impersonal areas, where as the materiality is needed to create more personal details.

I wish to also somehow incorporate rubber stamping as again, it’s material nature would lend itself quite well in the subject.

Music I enjoy listening to when studying:

Daughter: winter: new ways, numbers, human, winter, smother, still, lifeforms, no care, youth

Aurora: churchyard, dancing on the moon, daydreamer, the river, apple tree, the seed, mothership, gentle earthquake, queendom

local natives: masters, count, mother emanuel, ellie alice. cafe amerillo, when a i gonna lose you

Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack

attack on titan soundtrack

Fleetwood Mac: landslide, dreams, the chain, storms

Tame Impala: the less i know the better, half full glass of wine

Put On A Spread - project research

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.
