Words and Image

..This short animation is my second for this unit of animation. Its kinda a bit too fast really but I like how it fits pretty well with the music. We got given a series of words and had to create imagery to go with them, you were encouraged to be pretty abstract or whatever... my words/ phrases were Jack In The Box, Numbers and Inside To Outside...

Marks of madness

...just doodles :)

There's one in all of us...

...After becoming obsessed with the soundtrack and receiving the 'Heads On And We Shoot' book about the making of the film for Christmas, I finally got to see this little treasure the other day. Just as I expected I was totally swept up by it. It took a beautiful work of children's fiction and made it into an honestly poignant feature film about a child for adults. Perfect for those who secretly harbor a desire to acquire a wolf costume and run away from home... I loved the warm but intimidating feel that the costumes gave and the naturally gritty environment they created for the wild things, from the vasts shots in the desert and open sea to the wonderfully crafted nest like huts. The film makers gave you time to interpret the story for yourself, the plot was simple but the reasons were left unexplained... I loved that. Karen O's accompanying the visual just totally worked.. it was wild and untamed just like the film. I listen to it and I feel like a can shout along too 'Rumpas Reprise' and it doesn't matter because its fun and your free...

Jack in a box

.. just some stuff for uni, we're working on an animation assignment to create imagery to go with words, above is a experiment in responce to the phrase, 'Jack in the box'. Its kinda fun, but ive really got to loosen up, my mind is a creative waste land, ha!

There will be a time when Love won't break your heart...

Roll away your stone

Roll away your stone I will roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don't leave me alone at this time
For I am afraid of what i will discover inside

You told me that I wouldn't find a home
Beneath the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while my character it seals

Darkness is a harsh term dont you think
Yet it dominates the things I see

It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But you say 'Thats exactly how this grace thing works'
Its not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with every start

Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
Yet it dominates the things i see
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
Yet it dominated the things i see

Stars hide your fires
For these here are my desires
And i won't give them up to you this time around
And so i will be found
With my stake stuck in the ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

And you, you've gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

Scenes you seldom see

Funny book i found in the vaults or mmu's vast library. Made me laugh a little and i love the drawing style. Its a Private Eye book called Scenes You Seldom see by Barry Fantoni.

Im not a professional, this is just what i do

Yeah so i was going to use this as my title header thing, then i realised i wanted a backgroud colour so ditched it
