Summer project: 1 becomes 2: Script ideas

I've kinda gone too ahead with designing characters that I've forgotten to put some of my script ideas! Sorry!! I like to have this in the style of Norman McLaren's where the art/ visuals are following to a beat or chord which shapes, symbols etc. changes. So here are some of my ideas for a possible script.

Idea 1:
A montage series of tribal images starting from animals to tribal people which in-between these, shapes form and changes in the process.

Idea 2:

Random shapes morphing and intertwining each other in a tribal like style following the beats of the music.

Idea 3:

Similar to idea 2, symbols representing tribes are seen changing from one form to another along to the beats and chords of the soundscape.

Summer project: 1 becomes 2: Tiki face designs 1

Based on my influence maps, I've came up with some designs for my soundscape interpretation. I've decided to put these designs in front of a black backdrop this time to see whether it can be eye-catching. Designs 1 and 2 were practice designs in recreating an African/ aboriginal/ tiki style, but out of all at the moment I'm liking design 6 and 8.

Summer project: 1 becomes 2- More influences

After having some technical difficulties, I'm finally back online!! :D So to make up for the missing few days/ weeks I've looked into more research into the kind of art style that I like to use for my music interpretation.
I've looked at the different shapes and patterns that make up the faces in tiki style and I've also looked at the colours, shapes and patterns used in UV body art to help me create a neon tiki styled face.

Summer project: 1 becomes 2: Influence map

After taking a quite a long hiatus from being on the blog, I think its about time I got focussed on the summer project. Based on some small influences on my first summer project post, I've piled them all up into an influence map. I felt that from listening to soundscape 3 gave me the idea of tribal like art styles, so I went to look at some Aztec, Aboriginal and African tribal art since these mostly contains simple shapes, bright colours and patterns. 

To my Dad...

It's been 5 years since you left us and as each year passes by, you'll always be remembered and loved, like from the times when you took me to school on my first day and being really proud of me for letting my creativity grow by drawing on the walls behind our shop counter (Such awesome times!! ;D until I had to display them on paper and then stick it to the wall instead!!) to the time when you left us...

You were there with mum to support me when the times I first started Primary and Secondary school, but when I started my first day at uni I know that you're looking and smiling at me from above telling me that "everything's gonna be ok!". 

Though we don't get to see you , you'll always be remembered and loved,

Missing and loving you always Dad,

Joey
