Film Ideas

Five Minute Film Ideas Generation – I have to admit that working out what I wanted to do for my five minute film has not been easy.  I had a number of ideas whirring around in my head.  These included:   A simple narrative of my practice and how it has evolved A showcase of my work without any narrative A narrative about what I would do if someone took away my camera A narrative about my mobile and how it has evolved An ‘arty’ film full of visual metaphors An animated film A five minute promo for my mobile with a commercial slant to it   For a number of weeks I have been wrestling with all of these concepts trying to work out which one to pursue.  I ran through a number of the films created last year.  I particularly admire the films by Lauryna Narkeviciute and George Harvey.  I found George’s work incredibly powerful and moving. Lauryna’s cool black aesthetic also fascianted me.  I think with George’s work it was his professionalism, creativity and meticulous attention to detail that I found most inspiring.  Unfortunately I had never really taken my photographic skills into film making.  I do […]

Mattering Life Day #5

Presentations & Evening Event – This morning the whole room was a hive of activity.  We were each given a slot to present our work.  Charlotte ‘played a blinder’ because she volunteered for us to go first in order to get it over and done with.  I absolutely agreed with her sentiment, because it meant that we could sit back and relax and enjoy the presentations from everyone else.  Both Kismat and Hyejo worked phenomenally hard to finish the zine and the Powerpoint presentation respectively.  I was really feeling the pressure too because I had a short film to produce.  I think as a team we all worked amazingly well together!     PowerPoint Presentation PDF The following PowerPoint presentation was put together by Hyejo who worked really hard on Friday morning to compile everything ready for our presentation.   Beyond Earth PowerPoint Presentation     Film Below is the film that I created for the group.  The video is a mix of my photographs of Charlotte’s dendritic paintings and my AI filtered time-lapses of Sarah, Leah and Hyejo’s growing chemical gardens.       Zine Kismat who is studying for an MA in graphic design worked really hard to […]

Zoom Session 19 (Low Residency)

Low Residency Part 1 – This week there wasn’t a formal zoom meeting due to preparations for both the Interim show and the Low Residency.  There won’t be a formal zoom session next week either as this will be right in the middle of the Low Residency.  For this reason I have decided to dedicate both zoom session slots to documenting both the Interim Show and the Low Residency.  Part 1 will cover the Interim show Private View and Low Residency activities covering Thursday 9th March until Sunday 12th March.  I will cover Part 2 next week from Monday 13th March until Thursday 16th of March.   The Interim Show (Thursday 9th March – 6.00pm-9.00pm) I was really excited to be travelling to the Low Residency in London. I’m not the most confident of travellers, so I was lucky to have my husband accompany me.  We left my car at Paignton boarded the train and headed off to our change at Newton Abbot railway station.     Once we arrived at Paddington, we bought some lunch  and then set off on the new Elizabeth Line heading East towards Abbey Wood.  Our actual stop was Farringdon.   We departed the train […]

Vilde Rolfsen – Inspired Work

Beautiful Destruction – For a few weeks now I have been wrestling with ideas for my research statement.  Ideally I would like to integrate some form of current affairs or pressing agenda into my work but I wasn’t quite sure how to approach this.  I then remembered a shoot I’d done a little while ago. I stumbled across an artist called Vilde Rolfsen. I found her plastic bag landscapes absolutely fascinating. Not only was her idea clever it was also visually very appealing. Her images are certainly creative.  There’s just something special about taking such a mundane object like a plastic bag and transforming it into an amazing landscape.  Below is a small gallery of her images.   Vilde Rolfeson – Plastic Bag Landscape   Responses to Vilde Rolfeson I felt that Vilde Rolfeson had produced something truly unique. However, inspired by her idea I wanted to use her imagery as a base to experiment further. I was also keen to incorporate elements of animation and time into my experimentation as this ties in heavily with my theme.  Most of Vilde Rolefson’s plastic bag imagery is light and bright, therefore I decided to take a slightly darker approach. I wanted […]

Blender – Who Knew?

Using Blender to Simulate Chladni Patterns – In order to make a successful Chladni Pattern, it is important to generate a strong tone.  Where fingers are placed on the plate is also crucial.  I have discovered that to produce a tone and beautiful pattern is not a quick or easy process.  It takes both practice and patience.  Jokingly, I feel that at the end of this process, I may not have great Chladni patterns, but I’ll probably manage a grade 8 in the violin! Joking aside, this is a real and fundamental problem that I need to solve in order to move forward.  In order to help me work with my bow and plate I looked for a number of YouTube tutorials of which there were a few.  The people in the videos made the bowing and Chladni pattern generation look so easy! I spoke to the maker of my kit and he explained that actually it’s not that easy and practice and patience makes perfect.  Below are a couple of videos where pattern generation is made to look really simple.   Chladni Plate with Violin Bow   Chladni Patterns – Aluminium Plate and Violin Bow   Time is Not […]
