IC-98 Dundee Contemporary Arts - Drawn into tomorrow
This was quite something.
Earlier today I stood in a dark gallery space and became mesmerised by these very detailed and slow moving digital art pieces. I particularly love the huge scale of these images. The tempo of the animation is incredibly slow and the movement of flags, waves, leaves, fireflies are accurately observed....
The projected images were so large (almost cinema screen size) I could almost believe that I was stood inside the scene....fascinating to be stood in a monochrome landscape!
The image with the colonnade and the white awnings reminded me of a part of Edinburgh at the end of Princes street....particularly during the festival...
Film: Contact (1997)
A clip that caught my attention this week....
Film: Contact (1997)
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Love the twist at the end.
How?!!
Did they film it in reverse? Was it two actresses?
Still can't figure this out at all!

Continuing reflective practice
Reflecting on Practice...
Enjoyed the exercise yesterday...
We worked in pairs and the objective was to tell the other person about our research project....they then presented our research summary and ideas to the group.
Good lesson in communication!
I omitted to ask or mention my methodology (despite having it written in an abstract!!) so another good reminder of providing ALL the information succinctly.
I was asked a direct question about my final project during this communication and reflective exercise.
Why ice?
Interesting that this process forces me to bring my unconscious influences and ideas to the conscious awareness....
Why ice?
It's a great physical metaphor to represent the emotional journey of the project - a solid frozen state, which can melt and transform into something that brings growth and opportunity...

Storyboarding, loose sketches, shot set ups and Skype call with Axis
Working as a group on our rough Animatic for Axis. Here's some rough storyboard images that, as a group, we agreed on and I drew up....great fun drawing at high speed. The graphics tablet really came into it's own....plus the Photoshop tutorials that I did over the Christmas holidays really paid off...
Really enjoyed this!
We sat as a group, with Brendan Body, and roughed out staging and shot set ups.
Great feedback session and we did a further rough edit after our skype call, and have got a much tighter, punchier storyline...

Date night at the movies
So we had date night at the DCA and saw the Assassin http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3508840/
Very slow and not much assassination - however, it was stunning and the theme of self restraint and an emotional journey of change was cleverly done.
I particularly enjoyed the sequence, that this still shot comes from.
The Assassin is watching her target from behind gauze curtains. We see her prey from her point of view and they are on screen for about 3 - 5 mins sometimes clearly on view and sometimes very obscured by the gauze. After some time i thought that the gauze curtains were a good metaphor for the Assassin's internal thoughts....
When her victims were clearly on view, the Assassin felt confident - and when they were obscured she was doubtful about her role of killer.
Stunning use of reds, golds, blues and greens too.

First ever lip sync!
Whoop! My first ever lip sync. What a great lesson and I managed to keep up!!
A bit like driving a car, I'm finding that some of commands I am making in Maya are becoming more 'automatic', which is allowing more brain space to actually create...
We created the phonemes shapes AI, O, E, U, L, WQ, MBP, FV, REST AND etc
The audio is taken from a clip from the Matrix...
