We found some pictures from other artists. We attempted to grasp the spark of inspiration and created the idea. The theme of the project is ‘recycling’ which make better life in our future. We collect the rubbish to build the shadow of the city and add the animation.

Final piece.

Final piece:

Our first attempt when building the city, looked to perfect to represent a pile of rubbish. So we decided to create the buildings from smaller pieces of rubbish and then through using a light we were able to see how the silhouette would look.

Experimenting with the projector.

We decided to experiment with the projector before our exhibition. This allowed us to see how our animation would look on the wall and what the angles in the room would do to distort the image. It also enabled us to see the distances the light would need to be for it to create the perfect silhouette of the rubbish.

Bird's Animation

I do some tests and finish this animation. Thank you for sharing some views with me,I amended it. Is this bird more looks like dieing?  If anyone have some opinions, please tell me (especially for the background). I will try my best to polish it.I appreciate working with you.

Rubbish City

        Keeping up with current events, Group 5 have recently decided on the final idea for our projected piece of art. We shall be creating a theme of negative human effects on the environment. We have all decided on a specific way to do this and have allocated each other tasks to perform before we meet up again.

        As part of our finished product, I have been asked to create a physical model of a city, using old boxes and bottles and pretty much anything that will do the job. It's design will be some what basic with the deliberate intention of keeping any franchise names and symbols on the front of the objects I use for the audience to clearly see. Throughout much of today I have worked on this tired city having found a huge box full of cardboard in my hallway this morning.... That was lucky! This image is not that clear right now, however I am sure that will look better when I am able to put it into the exhibition space.

A Bird

Hi, guys I finish more than half of work now. I will try my best to accomplish and polish it. I hope you like this bird and its reddish orange color.

After Tuesday tutorial all group's members got together and had a meeting. It took long time to determine appropriate programs and made contrast through the concept analyze. the rational use of personal skills, we can raise the level of the project.

My main job is doing a video. First of all, I find lots of bird pictures for reference. I draw bird of reddish orange color and divided into different layers. Be pressed for time, I will use software to animate the motion of bird flying instead of the movement is drove frame by frame.
