Environment, Behaviour, Interaction

Bjork - Mutual Core from DanielleNoir on Vimeo.

Another dramatic piece by Andrew Thomas Huang, using some similar methods and themes to Solipsist that is also on this blog. This time for Bjork's song Mutual Core. The song was part of an album about reconnection of music with nature, drawing inspiration on her homeland Iceland, hence the volcanic eruptions, tectonic plates shifting, passing across eachother and crashing together, and rich violent colours and surfaces. But this was also used as a metaphor for a human relationship and interaction (obviously a passionate one!). The album it was part of, Biophilia (the worlds first "app album"), was partly recorded on Ipad and Bjork described it as multimedia collection "encompassing music, apps, Internet, installations, and live shows".

Movement and Communication

Bottle from Kirsten Lepore on Vimeo.

A very effective piece of stop motion, showing communication between two distant beings. Brilliant use of sound design, emotion, humour, simple (ish) movement, repetition, framing/composition and pacing of ideas.

End of term show for BA Illustration First Year students

It's been a busy term so not much time for blogging but this was the finale...Dr Syn: BA Illustration 1st year Drawing Trip Exhibition.

Drawing trips to East Sussex, Kent and London locations were organised to gather research and make development work in response to the story Doctor Syn: A Smuggler Tale of the Romney Marsh by Russell Thorndyke.

Immersive life drawing environments were then created and directed by the students and staff from the initial research, in order to further the visualisation for the final pieces.

This exhibition shows some of the research and development work, as well as the final pieces. A few of the sketchbooks in the exhibition are shown below as a taster, but click the above link to see full exhibition and final pieces. Hoping to receive a link to better quality photos soon as these were limited by iPad camera resolution...
