Cup overflowing animation, need the focus to be on the cup.

 

Created for time point 10-15 second but decided not to use as I couldn’t find a way to fit it in.

I initially created this without the water moving which looked wrong so I added water movement.

Postcard’s

A big influence for my work is postcards. They are often pictures of landmarks, scenic views, photographs or drawings that are posted as souvenirs. 1930’s British Carry on/Innuendo Seaside postcard became popular. That used tongue-in-cheek jokes. The popularity of these postcards caused a significant increase in British seaside tourism and had a positive impact on the economy.

My wide collection of postcards:

Alxnder Cook

Dave Thompson

Paul Thurlby

Artist Research/Reflection:Triangulo + Terry Gilliam

 

 

Reflecting on Feedback from my Research Project a key point was to explore using different media’s to use in my work, to develop the story told through animation. As well as rethinking the colour and “prettiness” of my Images.

The animation uses a mix of collage to help reflect the gritty tongue in cheek message, with the combination of the use of colour to add to this undertone.

Even though I do not connect with the visual atheistic, I can appreciate the use of practical animation skills as well as the interesting use of collage.
