Narrative Print

Hand in for this year is official over which mean my second year at CSA is over. What a great year it has been to.

following on form the last piece i posted which was the written module i took this year I also took a modular in print. Print is a method of working i became quite familiar with in earlier education, and if I were to take a more illustrative root i'd of done a lot more of it. Anywho...

CSA has a great print studio and amazing letterpress studio...are first brief was to visualise a  poem by Philip Larkin called Take One Home For the Kiddies these are my final outcomes.

Second part of the module was to create a series of prints depict a classic tale. A chose to create a suit for Chaucers Canterbury tale: the Nuns Priest Tale: Chanticleer. created using Lino.

The spotlight we miss

This term one of are optional modules was writing for images, a creative writing short course the end result of which was a portfolio of creative written pice and one visual pice in any media, i first though to create a cut out or a screen printed posters  on a poem based on a photo by a Gregory Crewson:

But after learning a few new trick on after effects I decided to create an animation, the animated section took just under 3 hours. Well there we go then.

Animation Showing in Cambridge

I had a animation showing last night in The White Swan in cambridge. Organised by myself and my tutor. All of my animations were shown, so pretty happy. Was an excellent night with fantastic people and a great atmosphere. The locals seemed to like it anyway.

Creating an animation for a festival

The time has come to start working on my own brief, all though daunting i couldn't be happier to be starting to create my own visuals for something completely my own.

I 've had a few ideas for this piece but I have settled on idea to create a piece of stop motion (surprise surprise) about a terrible mime, a mime that can't mime. I'm doing this more as a visual break and a project that should hopefully help me create something visually interesting as well as technically good. That and I get to make loads of gorgeous props.
