DGA130 - Experimental Animation (Week 1)
I really like the brief for this task:
'Who are you? Where do you come from? What are your likes, dislikes, your hopes for the future? Who has had an influence on your life? How do you see the world and how do you think the world sees you? It has been said since the Renaissance; “Ogni pittore dipinge sè" or, “Every painter paints himself'.
I also like that we're being pushed more out of our comfort zones and into experimenting and trying things out, expanding our ideas to broader perspectives.
Here are some very basic ideas I have, mainly for techniques and feelings over specific topics (which is kind of what we're meant to create anyway):
I would really like to try mixing 2D computer animation with stop motion using mud, sticks, leaves, trees etc. outside, using lighting to keep it consistent throughout, and then adding the 2D on top afterwards, perhaps animating faces o the leaves. I've always loved nature and going on walks with my dad growing up, so I feel like for this self-portrait task, earthy themes would fit really well in expressing who I am.

- Hope - Sand and piece(s) of string as a worm and another material, perhaps leaves as a beatle, they are underground and reach the world above
- Sad/negative feelings - Black paint on glass,
- Depression/closed off - charcoal
- Happiness and growth - mud, sticks, leaves
