INTENSION OF STATEMENT

DIRECTION SECTION

With this work, I intend to explore the ideas of combining animation and live shots. This idea is,

essentially about combining existing objects and images to create an illusion. This idea will be expressed as a hybrid animation by combining live shots,2d, and 3d elements to depict my daily walking track. When finished, the work will develop the concept through getting inspiration from material or objects to create an artwork.

ARGUMENT/RATIONALE/GAP SECTION

The reason for doing this work is my aspiration of approaching nature or physical interaction rather than stay at home interact with my computer after the outbreak of the pandemic. For my variation, I start walking every day after lockdown. And I got lots of inspiration from my walking track. If successful, the work will exhibit excellence in the forms of showcasing work that stands out from the crowd in virtue of the power of nature, such as textures, shapes, patterns, etc. My work will be different from existing work because the narrative is based on my personal experiences and feeling expression via my fantasy of the real world. And a hybrid creating progress in the pipeline.

CONTEXT SECTION

Other similar works are can be seen in Jonathan Hodgson “Feeling My Way”
( https://vimeo.com/32255983 ) and Adobe commercial take a fantastic voyage with Photoshop’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvmQfn5PsAI)These works are greatly demonstrating fantasy worlds through the perspective of a creator. Particularly, in terms of narration and technical skills, they give me great inspiration for telling my story. Other works that deal with these concepts and ideas are Andy Goldsworthy ( http://www.artnet.com/artists/andy-goldsworthy/) and Bryan Nash Gill (https://www.bryannashgill.com). Many artworks perfectly depicting what an immense influence the natural beauty around us can have on the imagination of an artist. Especially for these contemporary artists, there are lots of works are related to the experimental of material, which add a great dimension of tactility and textures.

METHOD SECTION

The materials I intend to use are live shots of my walking route,2d and 3d animations that I created based on those shots. My workflow is taking the live shot firstly, and tracking the camera movement in 3d software, or tracking and rotoscoping shapes/motions in Mocha. Then create the 2d and 3d animation elements and combine the elements with those canulated data in after effects. This more effective than drawing on the live picture frame by frame. There are lots of technical skills I need to explore and I will learn them while I am practicing.
