Getting in touch with DANCE

Dance!

I'm going to be honest- moving around gracefully is not my strong point. However, my initial fear of this task has faded and now I'm fascinated! After meeting up with a wonderful dancer, I've started to think about the choreography between my two animated characters.

A lot of the work I've done so far has been rushed and not anywhere near the standard I know I can do. (thanks time management, thanks a bunch) Alas as this will be the final piece of work on my showreel I reckon it's about time I did this task the amount of justice it deserves.

I'm drawing inspiration from Glen Keane, not sure if you've heard of him.

The way he accentuates limbs and defines muscles not only looks gorgeous, but also adds to the realism in the animation as you see all these parts of the body rotating and being put to use. Some of my favourite examples are below:

Album cover artwork

A friend of mine is soon to release an EP (exciting!) and has asked me to come up with an album cover! I'm at the beginning of the process, so I'm just about coming to grips with the massive amount of responsibility that's been given to me. As a massive music fan, over the years certain album covers have come to define the music itself. (T.Rex Live in Concert 1993; David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust; every Led Zep album; Pearl Jam, Ten; Funkadelic, Maggot Brain; Guns and Roses, Appetite for Destruction; Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon; Foos, Santana, Blur, Stone Roses jOY DIVISION STEVIE NICKS AC/D- okay the list is quite endless. The (allegedly) cold, hard truth is that the album cover has to reflect the songs perfectly. So after a good week of listening to nothing but the wonderful Will Dunn's unfinished EP, I felt brave enough to begin coming up with ideas. When in doubt - run to collage. That's my motto. So I did.
