Initial idea
the First idea for the dance video stemed from wanting a clear visual theme. alot of my past work has been started from a conceptual idea and i know I have a strong theretical Knowledge, for this piece I want to start with a visual concept and devolop from that (i know this isnt adviced but i want to try expreimenting with this)
I have been looking into composite photography alot and find it very intresting. I love the idea of being able to create Ideas and concepts by putting objects together in a certain interacting way, It feels knew and intresting. I have a very keen intrest in animation and two big influences on me are studio guibly and independent animation.
I love studio Ghubli as it explores real world themes by creating a fantasy world which is inspiring and exists in it own right, this really intrests me, creating worlds which exsist on their own.
another film that really inspires me is the house of small cubes, I love its simple story and visual style telling a much bigger theme. I like it's simplicity. I think that is very important.
I really want to impliment this kind of style with film.
this is the video for coldplays Up and UP .....this video is really inspiring, I really like the idea of this placing of unatural objects together and creating a really thematic concept.
i think it really shows what I really want to start working with,
I like how it is techinical and something which adds alot to the medium,
I like how it resembles the freedom of animation which is something I find very special about animation,
(I will talk more about this video later as it is awesome)
I then started thinking about where else this had be done alot, I looked into photography, in specific compostite photography.
composite photography is a very strong field but in film ive only seen it in that one video, (done properly) I love the diffrent styles and use of light. I can see how important it is to put the images togepther well so it looks real.
me and our group talked about using this in our dance film and were happy with the idea,
me and umor took this idea through with the dancers and worked with the idea of the dancers not seeing what the were interacting with.
i then started thinking about alice and wonderland and the idea of exploration of the environment.
I like the idea of expolration being part of the film and creating methphor in the enviroment.
through talking amounces ourselfs we decided the major issue would be the person not looking part of the composite. we decided to think of another idea.
I looked into music videos and stylings and started thinking about other types of photography, I really like silhouette photography
i think this looks really cool using backlight people to create isolated people.
