Major project, research ,essay and rythym

Well now the presentations are out of the way, can have sleep as a treat! Need to crack on with the last essay am determined to do some really thorough research.

Woodcut, ok am thinking of calling the animation 'Cut' short and simple and i think the look will work well with the subject matter will keep you posted as to tests. Have had a think about how im going to produce it and at the moment am thinking of using the vector paint option in after effects used on top of cutouts, think that would work if i use cutouts the areas round the joints would not be smooth so this seems to be the best solution.




On another note I have just found the Zen tv dvd in the library - love it - I can feel the next piece coming on visuals and rythym Fishinger would be proud, im a horder of old and interesting things so a very old typwriter may be coming in to play!

research

Thought this was good, influential!



and another classic

Train of Thought

Well this has been a long battle with nuances of head turns, different perspectives and small movements, my main problem being keeping the characters the same when moving, the contrast in styles looks good and instead of trying to fit in with Niyaz's which I floundered with, I think this now works to our advantage, I tried initially to do things in aftereffects but these tests were not as good as hand drawn, which I have stuck to.
Niyaz's work is beautiful and im trying very hard to give her something that is of the same standard. This has been an interesting and thought provoking lesson in drawing as there are many things I hadnt thought of that have come into play, as the time draws nearer to handing it in working on a scene that incorporates rotoscoping and handdrawn currently on layer 50 of 90.
I will say that the distance between us has been a bit of a bind, but thank heavens for .zip, .rar files and gmail.
