sketchbooks

a new week = a new brief. this one is entitled "lists, lists, lists". we have been given a list of 17 lists, and have to choose one of them, creating a visual list that communicated your subject in an entertaining and informative way. for graphic design, illustrators, photographers: your final outcome must be delivered as as a single image. and for filmmakers and animators: make a short film. to be honest i don't even know what i am at this minute, im learning so much but i do know that i like experimenting with animation.





we were asked to brainstorm as much as we could for these lists: "10 rules that should always be broken, 10 things i have lost, 10 ways to procrastinate, 10 things that have made me batch my breath, 10 things i don't want to hear" etc ... and this obsessive form of list taking reminded me of the bbc 3's new show called freak like me. every week they highlight peoples freaky habits and obsessions. one of the lists that stood out the most to me was "10 things that should not exist (but do)".


after discussing with max, i have chosen to make an animation of mostly the animals that i feel should not exist (but do) and then to either show myself shredding these animals into a shredder or having them being ripped and torn into tiny pieces. the animals that i have chosen to destroy are: pigeons that poop, mean cats, snakes eating mice, hamsters eating their babies, spiders (just in general!), llamas spitting, dung beetles rolling poop, and mosquitoes sucking blood.


here is a short snippet from my animation:
