Experimental Animation

 

This is an experimental piece i made using stop motion, which I still think is not finished. I trying to create an atmospheric approach concentrating on the materiality of objects and textures of the soil, however the work itself is very sketchy as I'm interested in the drawn aspect of the work.  I have drawn into the soil creating images of nature and growth as it mainly focuses on environmental meanings.  It is very quirky yet i still think the sense of narrative could be more present. There is a element of symbolism, childhood and nature in the piece as I've mainly combined image with sound.  Yet i still feel like i could refine the piece a bit more. Please feel free to comment as your comments mean a lot to me :)  

Bus Stop

This is my newest animation involving a man waiting at a Bus Stop while everyday life happens around him, however not all goes to plan while he is waiting.  I've added a small amount more to the animation to show the passage of time.  It is a very simple idea and correlates very much like the fish bowl animation underlining the concepts of everyday life, waiting, time and boredom. Please feel free to watch :)

Byam Shaw Final Piece 2008

This was my final piece at Byam Shaw, I mainly wanted to reflect on the sketchbook as a dairy of thoughts and personal feelings. For me the sketchbook is the important source of information as it holds a lot of time, thought and experimentation. This was to show a journey of ideas which would come to life in a book.
