3 Thumbnails

3 of the Thumbnails I have made, when I've finished all of them I'll post them all at once

Update (seeing as it slipped my mind for the entire holidays, woops)

I did go though the script, and considered merging Vivval and Noctus into one character to Limit the number of people needing animation, however this would mean re-writing the entire fight for two on one while 2 on 2, I can focus on one pair at a time, (2 characters in a scene) rather then 2 on 1 (3 characters in a scene, (majority of the short film the four characters wont appear in the same shot)

as for sounds, before the holidays I went through the folders, I found a lot of what I would need, however if need be I can record my own sounds or search the web if anything turns out missing.
Most of the noises like grunts from the characters, will probably be done from the voice actors.

What I will need - Under the Wing

German expressionist film Blog reserch

Time period? 1919- 1931
The time period that the films such of mr. cqaligans cabbinit were created in Germany shortly after world war 1. to get away from reflecting what it was like at the time and to create something based and focused around story.

What are the characteristics in regards to sets, costumes , lighting, and acting?
The imagery in the films are distorted and have askew angles, pulled expressions and tension. The backgrounds were cartoon like, however they provided a distorted background that twisted the world the actors and actresses were in.
Two different ways of lighting
One colour for a certain scene.


What are the Key themes?
Distortion
Telling a story
Warped minds/views
Suspence
Twisting


What type of film genres were influenced by German Expressionist film?
The genre that was most influenced by the German expressionist films was and is still the horror genre, The tilted angles provide an edge along with the distorted scenes


Discuss how the films of a contemporary film director have been influenced by German expressionist films.
Tim Burtan's style can be seen to heavily influenced by German expressionist films, the distorted forms and background can be seen through his works,

Digital 1 Proposal

Digital 1 Proposal: 500 - 700 words
Assessment 1- Proposal for Project

Question of research:
What would it be Like if fantasy exploded into our world?
The theme of this project is "Alternate South-land", I want to explore the changed that South-land would go through If fantasy suddenly was our reality, how would our world adapt and change, another possibility is what if fantastic had always existed or even if magical creatures replaced humans.



Three artists I have looked into:

Anne Stokes: https://www.facebook.com/annestokesart/
Anne Stokes is an English artist who create works of fantasy, she has created things from jewelry and designs of logos on t-shirts she has even designed diagrams for dungeons and dragons. Her artwork has been presented in various exhibitions and is highly praised for her paintings.

I love her realistic style and details of drawing, her drawings have such beautiful themes of fantiasy. not only does she creat original works but she also has created fan art of things such as harry potter. The main focus of her pictures blend into the background very well.

Amy Brown: https://www.amybrownart.com/
Amy Brown is well known for her artwork of fairies, to me her work looks as if it would be something stitched onto an ancient tapestry,
She began her career when the gallery she was working at asked her to fill in an empty frame, from there she started selling her beautiful works.

Her work is very beautiful, it looks as if it would be something stitched into an ancient tapestry from a fantasy world, or even an illustration in an old book,  parts of the characters design has a ripped yet graceful look, the colour is usually centered around one hue and that draws my attention to the whole thing


Jasmine Becket-Griffith:
I love the big eyes within her work, the chibi style is shaded wonderfully, and though it doesn't have realistic proportions I still admire how she has created her work.

Software:
The software I will be using Photoshop, I will most likely take photos of location for reference as I want to create each piece of art in my drawn style. I considered drawing fantisy into photographs which I may test with. but I have previously done so in my year 13 photography course and would like to create something new rather then going back to what I have already done in a previous year, this will also let me explore what I can create and what I am capable of making withing various programs,


Further Tests and experiments:
I want to try a variety of methods to create the images within my mind. I am going to try several things such as drawing into photography, photo editing, drawing from scratch, and what else I can discover in the programs I will be working with in this project.


South-land:
- Stewart Island is a par of Southland and is known to inhabit kiwis
-Stirling point
-Never far from the Ocean
- Southland contains various native and rare wild life
- Southland was a hard place to inhabit at first for the maroi due to the harsh conditions of the terrain and weather


Summery:
The reason I have chosen a fantasy theme for my AU South-land is because I have such a love for the genre where anything is possible, there are no limits on what crazy creatures you can create and not to mention dragons, they on their own are awesome as hell.
As for the programs I chose Photoshop as it has various brushes and tools that will be useful in the creation of my works.

Images: created
Images I have created in the past, that can relate to this topic
