Week 4, Day 3

Today I continued my research into puppets and different ways of presented it. I researched two animations that use After Effects and other computer programmes. The two animations were 'Dead All Along' by Giles Timmes and 'A-Z' they both adopt a collage style to their work and I love how each of them have so much detail and the characters are so bold

I attempted to make a person out of newspaper cuttings in response to this animation, I feel that it did not go as well as i had planned, and would have looked better with paler colours. ((Photos from Sally Arthur's blog))

I have looked through magazines for flower patterns that i could use as reference for my animation. I have also looked at pictures of flowers and scenery that is symmetrical, simple or flowing.
I felt bad for just cutting out flower patterns that other people had created so i had a go at creating my own patterns. I have found out that this is not something that I am very good at. Although they did get better as i went on, and I found that you take inspiration from things around you, as coming up with them from the top of your head is hard. I did know this, but I feel that putting it into action has reinforced it in my work.
