Mantel’s narrator also seems to deny Anne any major historical agency: although it is hinted that she is a reformist—probably embodying the hybrid beliefs to be expected among sections of the English population in the changing 1530s—and even though she vindicates “the great and marvellous work done in this realm since I became queen” (Mantel, Bring, 132)—what transpires in Mantel’s narrative is that Anne becomes queen because Cromwell makes it possible, and she is executed because Cromwell again finds it is convenient to have her replaced by somebody else. The execution scene may be illustrative in this regard: in Bring Up the Bodies, her voice “is very low” and her speech cannot be heard (Mantel, Bring, 470). Once the executioner strikes, Anne’s “little presence becomes a puddle of gore,” and finally, “the queen’s sodden remains” are hastily placed inside a chest, the head being irreverently laid “by the queen’s feet,” as there is “no other space” (Mantel, Bring, 472–73). Immediately afterward, “he [Cromwell] walks away. A sharp pang of appetite reminds him that it is time for a second breakfast, or perhaps an early dinner” (Mantel, Mirror, 3), which indicates the historical weight granted to Anne by the narrator.

Animation Research on Creative Review

I could take inspiration from hypnosis design to try and engage the audience into the IMAX experience. Due to not having the CGI skills to create a contemporary pre-film intro, I will have to use other ways to sell the idea of IMAX. Taking this concept further I am going to experiment with the idea of Rapapawn’s hypnotic animations.

21/02/23 Case Study research - The Hermès Drawer

There are 3 short videos which go before the first slide however they will not fit into Tumblr. I look at Igor Bastidas and how he created these animations for the SS21 Cuteness Campaign, Hermès China.

Next I look at more of his work and his portfolio. He illustrated covers for different book genres for the New York Times.

Then I look at the history of the brand Hermès. It first was a saddle brand created by Thierry Hermès. The first bag was created in 1922, and scarf in 1937 (most sought after item).

The iconic Hermès horse motif can be found in every item they produce. It has a meaning of power, wealth, riches, luxury and traditional. Which all aligns with the brand.

Next, I looked into other similar Hermès campaigns that used illustration. I came across the Noel 2014 Christmas campaign by Dimitri Rybaltchenko. I then looked at his other illustration work that he did for Kronenbourg.

Are You (Still) an Optimist? These Questions Might Help Explain Why#Optimist #Questions #Explain

It may seem impossible to feel upbeat about the future. But there are common traits optimists share that can help improve anyone’s outlook. (Igor Bastidas/The New York Times) Imagine you’re back in high school — fluorescent lights humming, hard plastic chairs, a classroom stuffy with hormones and anxiety — and you’ve just aced a test. Do you think to yourself, “I guess I got lucky today”? Or…

There is no doubt that Gregory’s Anne is ambitious, and in fact the archetypal representation of “bitchy” Anne is associated with her ambition and crucially with “her ascribed failure to adhere to idealized models of femininity” (Saxton, “Unblemished Concubine,” 191, 159). Yet to claim that she is power mad in Gregory’s novel is unfair. She knows the patriarchal world she lives in well and simply does everything in her power to secure the best possible position available to her, which necessarily involves securing a sexual connection with the right man: first, as Percy’s future wife, then as the king’s mistress and, eventually, queen. [...] However, unlike the Anne presented by Mantel’s narrator, Gregory’s Anne is not exactly hypocritical. In Mantel’s novel, Cromwell criticizes Anne for pretending to be what she is not. In Gregory, Anne is determined to choose whom she wants to be. This has interesting implications, as it means that she is endowed with agency (de Groot, Consuming History, pos. 5517–19), a quality denied to most women at the English court.
