Inspired

This is really well done, the sounds and experiments. I especially enjoy the sound accompanied it really enhances the visuals.

The Future?

An interesting way of communicating a story, could it be a flash in the pan? I'll keep my eye out for more things like this

Its Nice That

Project Projection

By doing even a quick search on youtube i have found an amazing video, which is a great example of what can be done.

In terms of my old idea with the lenticular and stereoscopic techniques, I have developed the idea in terms of...well the lenticular idea was to show two differences/oppositions ie the lie and the truth. So with this development I am thinking about the oppositions I can project onto the buildings, a simple example can be how the building has changed throughout the years.

A basic idea I thought of was finding buildings that used to be very busy that are now boarded up due to factors like the recession and project how it used to look with lots of customers etc.

Architectural Projection Mapping

During my feedback for the PGC phase me and Simon (tutor) talked about trying to find my context for my project. We talked about what the government are eager to fund to help raise any interest within the city of Nottingham.

We talked about trying to make people aware of some of the history Nottingham has to offer. We also talked about buildings and how they can change through time ie WWII Bombings etc.

This made me think about projecting motion graphics onto buildings and using 3d mapping to make it seem "real" a good way to explain what i mean is by looking at this

This made me think about what buildings have history in Nottingham. Obviously I could chose somewhere other than Nottingham but I'd like to have something people can walk to during our MA exhibition, I have even thought about maybe doing more than one building and having some sort of map to help guide people to the different buildings.

One building that springs to mind is the Paul Smith shop in the city centre, Paul Smith is renowned for having a great interest with Nottingham Trent students so hopefully this could be a good idea, When i return to Nottingham in the new year I will search for more buildings. I have taken a few snaps of Paul Smiths building so at least I can experiment with that over the holidays.

PGC Review

So I am at the end of the PGC phase and now my work is moving into the PGD part of the MA. My project has began to create itself due to action research and now things are moving on fast. Through my Learning Agreement I have discussed that I want to blend two technique of classic photography ie stereoscopic and lenticular in the medium of moving image to create a series of animations portraying a message to a wide audience. As my research grows I hope that i shall be able to meet photographers and motion graphic designers within the industry to discuss my idea and get knowledge from them.

Olly Moss

Olly Moss has created some stunning re-makes of famous film posters. I generally like the simplicity of the design. If you are familiar with each film you can see how the poster depicts the film in the one image. Thanks to the art direction project we did earlier this year I have been able to apply my knowledge from that to dissect and analyse each poster.
