Wait no, I don't have that power...
Minor project:
I've had a few ideas, all pretty lame. THe least so being something along the lines of a dream collection/diary thing. Not written, only visuals; drawings/composite pictures/short animation even.
As I have started this rather late, I already have seven items/dreams/freak outs that I can begin work on to catch up...Hmm yes now to continue dream fuelled sleeping, Only hope that I don't have a dream drought or I'm up shit creek!
...His immune system is proving strong
So after today's class, I really should put more effort in to the minor project. I had been thinking of further exploring 'subconscious self' which is interesting...but involves intense brain bending readings/thinkings/films. I don't mind that, my brain could do with a work out. Only I don't know where to take it...not an animation, I'd like to do something with wax (see previous post) but what?? Ha no idea. Hmmm,yes a lot to think over,but not too lond, I need to get cracking!
Mick,please no more activities of writing on the floor, I think my knee has deteriorated severly, yes, the bone shard is grating something....It's using tables for me, from here on in!
Ow, that was a rock...you can't throw rocks
Phew, sigh of relief as the first presentation is out of the way. Absolutely horrified by seeing it on a big screen. I've never seen my head so big. At least i was able to look at the wall for a bit. Other than that, things went ok. So I guess I'm happy with it.
wax/mesh
Trying something with wire mesh, paper backing and wax. See how it goes, there could be big plans ahead if it works satisfactory.
PLain candle wax worked ok. I thought it would be more transparent than this...but you can still see the picture/colour behind.
THe coloured wax didn'twork so well.
Completed animation for studio
SEE IT HEREI'll have some more stuff to say about it...later.
Why??
So I haven't actually explained any of the thinking behind the presentation.
Topic: Subconscious self Vs Rational self.
Yes, I think I bit off more than I can chew, considering I had a week to prepare something non crap.
*Why do an animation?? -I know I'm not the greatest at using flash, but I do want to improve the little skills I have.
*Why are you (Britt) in it? -I have a hatred of photos of me, and I thought I'd try to quash it...
more babbleing on that subject*Why the stabby things? Good question, I guess I wanted to show a struggle(no that's not the right word) balance?? between ones self and inner self. How we behave 'normal' and then the inner desires/ego/other part of self.
*So why all the stabby things?- uh, They allow an easy representation of the two states of mind.
*two stages, what good and evil? -No, more like a division between the rational and irrational thoughts/actions...
*ok, that's makes little sense, I not getting anywhere with these questions...obvivously...we'll resume this at a later stage.-Look forward to it.
If your interested have a look at these fellows
Some reading I've been doing. Yeah, some is a bit ZZZZZZZZ, others Nearly made my head explode.
If anyone can reccomend any reading about subconscious self, I'd like that.
Glossing over some of the things I've looked over:
Unconscious mind the ID, ego and super ego-Freudtheory of mindwikipedia is a great provider.
Isolation pushes past self hatred, guilt and shame
so what has been the thinking behind creating the animation for 'Subconscious self vs rational self'?
A couple of early idea sketches for animation.
One of these days, I will have to learn to draw. At least it's amusing it it's shit ability
