Gif me more!

As this project has progressed, I've made about 13 or so different gifs. Mostly experimentation, gifs of only about three or four frames.

All of this has led onto me progressing onto more complex and 'finished' gifs! Here are some below.

This gif above is my pride and joy. Hand-drawn and painted, inspired by Mendellsohn's The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave) Overture. The music evokes the feelings of a stormy sea in Scotland.

St. Basil's Cathedral was chosen as my "best building in the world". I decided to try this fun little concept with the amazingly colourful domes.

Gif me.

This week was the start of a new two week project on gif-making! We need to make 6 looping gifs based on specific things like our favourite book, the best building in the world, the best song, something that makes us really angry, our hero and -  above - our favourite travel destination. I chose the moon!

This is my first ever hand-drawn gif, and it's made out of 24 drawings.

Here's some pages from the concertina, up close.

Explanation of Natural Selection, and random variation through generations.

Simple version of the Tree Of Life

Explain Why!

This was a week project where we had to explain something in a set of sequential imagery. I chose to explain evolution, which proved difficult at first, seeing as how complex it is! I had to figure out simple but effective ways of explaining, and the result is this little concertina! Good ol' Darwin.

Let There Be Light.

These are a few of my final selection of images from our two week "Let There Be Light" project. I really focused on looking at the different colours and patterns I could make using bokeh as my main subject. These photographs are actually street lights on the promenade, with the occasional green being a traffic light. Zoomed in with a 300mm telephoto lens and turned completely out of focus, this is the result!

If you go down to the woods today...

This is the beginning of a personal project I have started that is entitled "If you go down to the woods today", having taken inspiration from the childhood song "The Teddy Bear's Picnic". It will look at a darker side to forest imagery, and also looking at the lyrics to the song.
Here is a study of a forest, both a coloured version and the original sketch. I hope to have the freedom to explore different techniques, so look out!

Photography Experiments. Personal Project.

Waves

Tin foil and fairy lights

Light trails of tree lights

I created these images using a selection of abstracted images of artificial and natural light. I started to play around with colouring and layers and I realised the results were not unlike magnified images in a petri dish, hence the reasoning for the circular crop.

The unnatural colours makes them unrecognisable as actual objects, and even with captions it is quite hard to tell.

Drawing is...

Drawing is narrative and humour and personality on paper.
