ANIMATION

We had a digital workshop today with Mary Stalk, she explained what sort of facilities we have access to in the Av store in the Chathem building. She showed us a series of internet clips that use forms of video to promote artists work, or even advertisement for huge companies such as Olympus and Liberty London.(Hayley is going to post about the talk in more detail) The clips were really inspiring and I really think I could grow to love this technique, it’s a nice fresh way to show processes and final outcomes digitally.

WE were asked to come up with a concept for a short video clip of something that relates to our work, so in a small group (Me, Lindsay Swan, Charlotte Yates and Hayley Bartram) we decided to base our film on the Old School of Art, using stop animation. This is when you take a series of photographs and edit them together to make a vintage like film. We made a very rough story board and then went outside to film and this is what we came up with, hope you like it;

I have come across this style of work before; in 2006 my brother went to Reading University to study Fine Art and during his first term made this video with a group of friends of his course. I’ve always loved it because of the soundtrack but I can now appreciate the work that must have gone into producing it. Enjoy;

I haven’t made a link but if you type in “group! art LOVE” into youtube you can have a watch!
