animation things weeks 2-8

Transdisciplinary Exercise 1 - Perceiving 

This was the first task animation to show reaction to certain foods we chose to eat while basing it around the ratatouille movie scene. The food I chose to eat lime Poki sticks, which personally I didn't like it overall. It tasted very bitter and lacked some taste at all. So when working on this animation I chose to make the background white to represent the lack of taste there was. While I made the green brief and quick as possible to represent how much I wanted it to finish and just leave it overall. Thus why this animation is so plain and bare as a whole.

Transdisciplinary Exercise 2 - Playing

For this exercise I parodied the scene in this comic working around on how to change it and changed it from a horror discovery to a fake discovery of a murder where the murderer returns back to the scene of the crime. Mainly when I did this I didn't really have much ideas and this was more a out of the blue idea that came out, and for this kind of idea I kinda liked what came out though mainly dialogue was the only change I made.

Transdisciplinary Exercise 3 - Patterning 

When making this short animation with the stock footage I did a basic idea of getting thrown around in the waters wave. Compared to what some of my classmates have done its not out there like theirs but personally playing with this its a good try to do personally.

Transdisciplinary Exercise 4 - Embodied Thinking 

Working with my classmate Johnathan we traded our briefs. His being when he was 7 years old and using a hose, sandals and BB guns against a horde of bugs. my attempt is to start off with brown with the bugs and move to the two sandals and flood the screen with blue to represent water overall. This was to be quick, fast and flashy. Since I had no noise I tried to use the colors to quickly explain the chaos in the animated short. Overall this was a modest success but as normal I feel I can do more next time which I'll work with later on.

Transdisciplinary Exercise 5 - Modelling

The conception of time is kinda impossible to explain as it's really a thing that exists but you can't really explain it. To make it brief and quick each color shows the turbulence of history itself and that as it progresses it would slow down and calm down over time. This is overall how I personally can explain this to the best of my abilities.

Transdisciplinary Exercise 6 - Abstracting 

Her names Sophie a angel which means she can fly and has light powers. Her young age is very abnormal to fly as shes very young in angel years to fly. To the discipline I am working with it doesn't really work as I'm considering Modelling as mine and flight doesn't seem to work with this one and truthfully I don't know how it would work with it.

Transdisciplinary Exercise 7 - Synthesizing 

the brief

Create a visual artifact (i.e. a short animation, or an illustration) around the following theme: What does society look like when it is working at its best?

with my small illustration I chose to make it a token with a red cross which represents aid and morality used by our emergency services and the red cross foundation. The blue and green represents the calmness of society as well as unity between all of us as people. This is kinda referencing the Norwegian country's like Sweden, Denmark ect.

where they're know for having really good lifestyles and other advantages so it made sense to use this.

Exquisite Corpse 

work for the Exquisite Corpse from my frame to Teahi's 

had alot of fun doing this but wish I could have added something better to transition with as I did feel a bit disappointed with it.

Research and study work for project.

military themed

100th anniversary of tanks

strategy, armored warfare, classic illustration ideas from 1940s-60s-90s

huge scale

 

several comparisons of tanks going through various upgrades as examples

M4A1 Sherman to M4A3E8(76)W HVSS (easy eight Sherman)

       

British Cromwell tank evolving into the Comet tank

German Panzer 4s upgrades from F2 to H models

all these are evolution of variations series of tanks to newer versions or making way to a newer and better tank

there's a lot to play with here and my Discipline will likely be Modelling by playing with shape as what most tanks have in common is their basically a metal box sometimes angled boxes but are still boxes in a nutshell overall.

playing with evolution and shape will be my primary focus and during holidays will look for the tanks I want to use for the project as a whole but overall I feel I know what I'm planning now for the project as a whole
