Interim Online Review - Unit 2 : Space 10/11/09
ReplyDeleteHi Farideh,
I acknowledge that you had an interrupted start to Unit 2, but I can't help observing that you don't seem as 'deep' into it as I would like. While you seem to be developing your ideas re. The Neverending Story, there does seem to be a noticeable lack of development drawings and accompanying thumbnails and the outcomes of your technical classes are in short supply. If you haven't done so already, please refer to Ruben's blog for a sense of what is now expected of you; yes, the blog is an informal space, but it is also a 'project document' and needs to be rationalised and organised accordingly.
More generally, I'm going to ask you to avoid using a camera to archive your various sketches, as the resulting quality is counter-productive; you're uploading images that can't be viewed in any meaningful sense - that don't really contain any information (as the quality is much too low). As you progress through the course, your blog will very soon become a promotional platform for you and your work, so I encourage you to start taking its presentation and overall 'feel' more seriously - you are represented by it in the outside world.
In terms of your specific scenes, it is hard for me to contribute practically, as everything seems rather embryonic still. I will of course be looking at your blog throughout the remaining weeks, so I look forward to seeing more drawings posted very soon; however, do remember the 16:9 ratio - I know the drawings you've posted are just 'thoughts out loud', but the filmic 16:9 format should be considered in terms of composition at the earliest stage.
In terms of your written assignment, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a fine choice, but, as you rightly demonstrate, the aesthetic of the film owes much to earlier cinema; and there's another animator's work in which you might be interested: check out

I don't know, but I'd put money on the idea that Tim Burton was aware of this animator's work...
Please see the second comment for general stuff for the written assignment
whats 16:9 format?
