Happy Fangs in His Neck Friday! I will be working Claudio into one of my vampire wips in a bigger way today if not just writing a new fic for him outright because I'm still not normal about that mouthguard 💞

Assessment 3 - Statement of Intent

The intent of creating this video is to make educational content about dinosaurs, focusing on the Mesozoic period when dinosaurs first appeared. Only one period is chosen to narrow down the timeline of dinosaur existence, as its evolutionary timeline is very vast.

Yeah no I didn’t “always know I was trans” but I WAS incredibly defensive of a girl’s ability and personal desire to do absolutely anything a boy could do, repeatedly throwing down against parents and teachers who insisted that girls and boys were just naturally predisposed to distinct binary interests and abilities, often telling them that short hair and masculine interests didn’t make me less of a girl because physical traits and hobbies don’t retroactively determine your gender or sexual identity. Yeah I’m actually still onboard with that belief by the way, not sure how some of yall lost the plot

Specialist Animation Studies (SAS): Statement of Intent - Powerpoint Presentation

Onto a Beach of their Own

Project: A Structure within a Structure

Statement of Intent:

Create a sculpture to address, relate to, intervene, or activate a specific architectural situation or entity. Utilizing steel, preferably scrap and other material/s, create a work that addresses ideas relating to line, structure, architecture and space.

Structure:

Incorporate scrap metal, metal bars and home debris, into a sculpture. The scrap metal came from the studio work area and the shutters were from a 3 bedroom 2 bath  1950’s house being torn down to make way for a 6 bedroom 5 bath home.

Three shutters are one foot off the ground on thin, square metal re-bars, as if floating, and only one shutter is touching the back wall to further give the sculpture an ephemeral effect.  The shutters were arranged to create a shadow configuration on the wall.  The shadows then played on the 8x11 photos of my children.   

Re-bars extending from the base on three of the five legs to the light source, incorporate the light source into the sculpture.  The light source is framed with scrap metal. 

The sound of waves lapping on a shore accompanies the piece.

Inspiration of the Sculpture:

I wanted to address the reality that parents are just observers of their children’s lives.  Imagine a parent looking out through a shuttered window at their children playing on the beach.  A floating shutter, not a rigid structure is all that separates them because the separation is never defined.  We can only watch from a distance and only witness a slice of their lives.   

The photos are of my children on the beach.  They grew on up on the beach, collecting shells in the wrack line, chasing seagulls and listening to the rhythmic pulse of the waves.

They are adults now that have walked away onto a beach of their own.

Performance and Character: Statement of Intent

Statement of Intent

The intent of this advertisement is to promote a fictional coffee brand called “Hootbucks Coffee” where the genre is ironic comedy. Therefore, the art style and narration of the animation will be exaggerated. The name of the brand is inspired by “Starbucks Coffee”, where the character of the ad is an insomniac owl who works in a 9 to 5 office job.

The idea of the advertisement is to present ironic humor, where “Hootbucks Coffee” makes its consumers stay awake forever.

Specialist Animation Studies: Statement of intent

 I am currently attending The University of Salford, studying Animation and working on the animation module Specialist Animation Studies.

Purpose of the statement of intent.

This module's brief requires me to choose and explore a specific area of study within the field of animation. I aim to develop a visual identity, use and improve my current skills, and develop a fuller understanding of my chosen specialism. In this statement, I will outline the specific area I have chosen, some of the main areas of research I will use, how I intend to progress through the process and how I will portray (through the work) a strong sense of self-identity, opinion and beliefs.

Background and context of the topic/area of research.

For this module I am required to produce an essay developed from a substantial body of research, a final product such as an artefact, 2d animation or stop-motion animation and to chart the production process.

I have decided to explore the stop-motion filmmakers Tim Burton and Henry Selick. Analysing and researching their works and how they compare/contrast each other in terms of style, storytelling, themes etc. I will also explore the Auteur Theory as it pertains to each of them. From this research, I will design two characters - One in the style of Tim Burton films and one in the style of Henry Selick films. I will then write a storyboard and produce a stop-motion animation using the created characters.

Research questions.

The main questions I will pose and seek to answer are:

Who are these two artists?

What work have each produced?

What are their working styles and processes?

What makes them distinctive?

How do these similar artists compare to or contrast with each other?

Significance and relevance of the topic/Rationale

I feel this subject is relevant to the field I wish to pursue, which is stop-motion, as both Henry Selick and Tim Burton are two of the most successful stop-motion animation directors of all time. Their respective films like Coraline and Corpse Bride are sighted as major influences by many animation and filmmaking creatives to this day. I have been a huge fan of the work of Henry Selick, such as Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas. So, I would be excited to investigate these two animation artists who influenced my own style and sensibilities at a young age and explore why they resonated with me.

Research methodologies and sources.

My research will include gathering and reading books on stop-motion that may include chapters/sections on Selick and/or Burton, sourcing books and articles on their processes and character design, online articles and watching YouTube video documentaries on Selick and Burton.

Learning objectives and expected outcomes.

My learning objectives include:

Learning how to create and produce my own brief.

Learning how to design characters based on and using a pre-existing art style

Honing my stop-motion skills and creating a set/background (if time allows).

To create a substantial body of research from multiple sources.

Improve my project management skills, including step-by-step process and time management.

Improve and further develop my analytical, critical thinking, and communication skills within my essay writing. 

Essay writing.

As part of this project, I will use my research to inform and aid me in ultimately writing my essay about Tim Burton and Henry Selick. Its main purpose will be to analyse the work of Selick and Burton side by side and compare/contrast them as artists. Analysing how they differ in terms of their style, influences and approach to storytelling. I will do this by answering the five main questions listed above and applying and challenging the auteur theory with both artists. The essay will be approximately 3000 words in duration.

Resources needed for the research and project.

In terms of resources, I will need both physical reading materials such as books and digital reading material, i.e. online articles, to get reliable research for my essay. I can get the books from the university library and online bookstores. For the online articles I will look to the website Flipboard. Along with this, I will also look at online video essays and documentaries on YouTube regarding the work of Selick and Burton. I will also rewatch these artists work.

For character design, I will work with my usual pipeline of drawing design sketches and thumbnails in my sketchbook and then colour/edit those designs digitally on iPad Procreate or Photoshop.

For the animation, as I will be working with stop-motion, I will use the University stop-motion studio booths. I will also need armatures. I have one of my own that I will use. For the animation test/scene itself, I will use the stop motion software Dragon Frame and Adobe Premiere Pro for post-production editing.

Timeframe for completion of the project and milestones

Deadline 3rd May

14 weeks duration

actually the way that the skin of her chin is literally between his teeth and you can tell she’s long suffering and he’s looking at the camera like we’re gonna take her like ???

[melmedardaapologist]

so i was thinking about this when i first tried my hand at drawing mel, but i always loved how distinctive the purple-with-a-dash-of-gold makeup is, the way it offsets the green of her eyes and matched her lip shade, and how it manages avoiding looking like dark bags under her eyes—

but what if it was that? we know mel from her flashback didn’t have this sort of makeup, and it’s implied that her nightmare of the princess is common (if the painting is anything to go by), so what if mel in her early years in piltover can’t sleep for the pain of stress and betrayal and learning to navigate piltover politics, and can’t put enough foundation on to cover it up, and in a fit of genius, decides to turn this mark of “weakness” into part of her armor? make it look beautiful and “exotic” instead of a symptom of the inescapable human condition?
