Final piece coming together

After my research of work by tomato and some by hexstatic I have decided on a style that I would like to go down for my animation. This is a more cut up - tech style than what I was doing before with some live video footage thrown in. I Have decided also on to concentrate more on the idea of my 2 objects morphing together rather than the actual end product of the two objects. To create sort of like a trailer for a film - show you a bit of what could/would happen.

I am also going to create my own music to go with my animation to help with the cut up-tech style and add in sounds effects.

ZINE Idea

Synaesthesia

Neurological mixing of senses

Seeing music / hearing colours

Based on this I would like to explore the visual sounds of mobile ringtones. Using the 'fact' of hearing colours, I will use different shapes and colours to represent the sounds of the ring tone so that people can interpret their view on how the music sounds.

I would like to make it into a zine, with fold out pages for the longer ringtones and maybe include a cd of the ringtones at the back for you to listen to after (or is that going against the fact of hearing colours so there would be no need for the cd? something to think about)

Exceeda

Exceeda work is a mix of video and motion graphic, however it was the motion graphic based advert for MTV/BOOM that got my attention. Made up of lots of graphic elements and videos, this advert really inspired me with my work. I really liked the chopping and changing of images and how they combined video with graphic.

Obviously my work is a lot more basic, however I think their work is amazing and a level I would like to work towards

Hexstatic

I have been looking at work from Hexstatic whos work is a montage of all different imagery from video to graphics, old and new, art and pop, human and machine and everything is mixed in together applying techniques that a scratch dj would use (which is why I was drawn to them). They work with another group called Colcut whos work I also find very interesting.

I have posted a link to a video on Hexstatic's my space which I took inspiration from particulary the first couple of minutes of it.

After effects experiments!!!

The colours I used were randomly red, blue and yellow. I had an idea of putting a section of the bear in a box then it reminded me of the De Stijl art and I had the right colours so i put a few of the designs into boxes with heavy strokes and created and animation from it.
I wanted to try and create some more clean cut type work for my hybrid to try a different approach.

I played around with the shapes and cut them up and put them back together to create these hybrid shapes. I also added the pylons in to add more content and to represent the electrical energy flowing through the bear because of the light bulb, bringing it to life.
