Week One

Robert Crumb Self Portrait

So year two has begun! It's been a fun week, we've been given two new projects and shown our I am here films, which I shall upload. 

Peckham film project:
This week we were briefed on the Peckham film project. In groups of three, we our to create a documentary film on a business in Peckham. I have been teamed with Nathan and Matt. After looking around Peckham, we are keen to find a business that creates, not just sells. We like the theme of process for our film.

Biographies Project:


The next project we have been given is on biographies. Similar to the animated typography project last year, we chose names from a hat and will be creating presentations on what we discover about our subjects. I chose Robert Crumb, an American comic illustrator, artist and musician. So far I'm really enjoying reading his tales of LSD infused idea discovery and all about his childhood in a society controlled by mass media.

People watching

So I've come up with a final idea for the I am here project. It is based on overheard conversation, what you hear when people don't notice you. I am planning on using sound clips I receive from conversations I overhear at work and out and about, and use illustrations and typography to display them. I'd like to get some more experience in After Effects, so it is my plan to create an animation from the bits and bobs I discover in the next few weeks.

And so it begins, a new project ready for the beginning of year 2 in October! Scary stuff...
We have been asked to prepare a digital presentation for the first week with the title 'I am here', this can be about anything so I must come up with a good idea! Ideally I would like to create a film/animation as I'd like to explore this media more but all the equipment I have is an Iphone, which could be fun. I had the brief idea of creating something about what you can find out about me through my Iphone as it embodies everything I do. Lots to think about... need to get the brain pumping!
