RECYCLING.....

Been having a think about the narrative for my reform piece and i'm going with recycling.  Both of the objects i have worked with are made from recyclable material.  i will explore the types of things they can be made into and create a really strong hybrid.

more messing....

Another attempt to try and get used to after effects....All a bit random and a rubbish ending!  Also, i have just noticed that when it is still before it starts, it looks a bit like a squooshed version of the nike tick?!?!? oops

AE REFORM

So, i finally got after effects working and had a little go at making an animation.  All simple scale and rotation.  I had a go at adding some music to it as well.  It doesn't really go with the animation but at least i now have a vague idea of how to do it.... also, its MASSIVELY RUBBISH!!!

what can you expect for my first attempt? :0)

REFORMiNg....

I have been playing around with the shapes in cinema 4d and trying to get used to creating in there.  Here are some hybrids i have come up with. They are all the same shape but i have been looking at colours etc......

More 4D......

4D fiasco's!

Here is my attempt at creating my chair in cinema 4d.....its fine from this angle until you rotate it round....back to work methinks.....

rEfOrMiNg....

Starting to look a little more abstract now.  I have incorporated some texture into it using foil.  I chose foil simply because it represents the metal of the tap.  i think it looks really effective and is maybe worth considering using it in the final piece?These next pieces are more experiments, still incorporating the foil......

ReFoRmInG....

So, after playing around a bit with general shapes, i went back to the original drawings of our shapes and looked at how to play around with them a little bit more......I like the line running through this piece and that there are just subtle changes - not enough to make it a hybrid i don't think but enough to get me started on thinking about how to use the two images.

I like the lines running through this design.  I tried to go with the line of what i presume is the sink and offset it with the diagonal running through it.  aS with above, experimental but not a hybrid.

REFORM MORE ....

I like the symmetrical images, i can imagine this sort of shape being morphed into a motion graphic.  I like the third image you can see, it still has that tap image and its the chair is replacing the water.....not sure this is 'hybrid' enough though.  Still like it though :0)

REFORM MORE ....

It was interesting combining the tap and the chair.  At first, i wasn't sure how the straight edges of the tap and the curved edges of the chair would work but they did and when made to a block of colour, you would never know what the two shapes were.

These are a few of my initial ideas......

REFORM....

Natasha sent some of her hybrid ideas....it was interesting to see we had produced similar things......

REFORM....

Some more ideas......

I have started to combine my chair with Natasha's tap.

It is quite difficult as the shapes are very different but i have tried to create something interesting and different.

These are my first couple of sketches....watch this space for more :0)

REFORM

So, after playing around with the Buddah mask. i have established its not great.  Not an amazing shape and i don't think i can do mush with it.

So, i have settled on my dining tables chairs.  They have a really interesting shape and i think it will be really fun to manipulate them and they would work well with any other shapes that people have.

Here are my 3 sketches from 3 different angles.

view from the side back

looking from the side, you can see the bumps of the seat sticking out and how the proportions work

Reform

This is the object/shape i am considering using for the Reform brief.  It has loads of detail and interesting shapes from the hair section, all bumpy and rippling to the sleek and long nose.

I think it could make for a really interesting contribution to a final piece with my partner, whoever that may be???

Hey

Welcome to my blog....lets hope this works :0)

First day at FEED was wicked, everyone felt motivated and ready to get stuck in, was a great atmosphere and the MBC peeps are really nice.

Roll on next Thursday
