Design I

Design I with Lawrence was tough tough tough (who knew arranging three boxes and a line on a piece of paper could drive you to your limits like that?) but eye-opening.

 
"Arrange three boxes and one line as dynamically as possible, only right angles." Failed, of course. Still, Lawrence said at least I had the balls to put in a huge box at the top.

 
 The taste of dark chocolate - my "poetic association" was spruce tree sap on dry moss.

 
Imagery for the jazz album "Kind of blue" by Miles Davis.
 
 
"Hamlet", first scene: the ghost appears. I associate death with outer space and stars, so I chose not to make the ghost white, but to have cold space visible through him, trailing stars.

Construction & Perspective: Acting Exercise

After working on constructing a simple character by the example of a Mickey Mouse model sheet we were given the task to illustrate this little gem by Ollie Johnson in three poses:

A man desperately in love with a girl far away carefully mails a letter in which he has poured his heart out.
 
 


Construction & Perspective: Prehistoric Composition

One of my favourite assignments so far, we had to do eight thumbnails with the theme "Prehistoric," focusing on composition. It did not have to be a cohesive story but there should be a consistent character present in all the thumbnails. I chose my protagonist to be my favourite dinosaur, the parasauropholus.


Next we had to pick one of our thumbnails and rework it in a bigger size, paying even more attention to clear construction and composition.

Construction & Perspective: Goose Sketches

First assignment of the third week, "Construction and Perspective" with Magnus Møller. Task: stop this clip of a pencil test randomly 10 times and draw the pose, focusing on line of action, proportions and solid construction.





Introduction Week Film

This is the film I made in collaboration with three other students during our first two weeks, "Introduction to Digital Filmmaking" with Sunnit Parekh-Gaihede. We had to work with an audio clip that was given to us and chose to work with paper cut-out stop-motion animation.

 


Furthermore, here's some of the artwork done to determine the ultimate design of our main character.
