Sketchbook Work


 

Here is the first page in my sketchbook, showing what I saw when I listened to the music I'm to use for my animation:

The first thing that came to me was the continuous line drawing on the top of the page, and then I saw robots and dripping taps etc. I also listed a few of the words that initially came to mind.
I found this exercise to be a bit challenging at first, and I didnt really feel like I felt anything from my music but the inspiration eventually came..


I'd like to also add the word/idea of 'ping pong'.. the exerpt of music I have chosen vaguely reminds me of the sounds in a game of ping pong, and I am seriously considering making this part of my animation idea :) It would be a good start to an animation at least as the ping pong ball could be made of anything and could be made to bounce anywhere!

These are the three words I have chosen:

 I think if the 'ping pong' idea takes off any further then I may change one of my words to 'Ping Pong' :) I think I'm most likely to change 'metallic' or 'robotic', leaning further toward metallic, as I conjured less synonyms from it.

I had a brainwave today that I could make my animation out of shadows, but then it dawned on me how hard it would be to get it completely accurate and decent looking, and also bearing in mind the amount of time I actually have left to complete this project..

I shant throw the idea away completely but it's not very likely to materialise.

Otherwise this page only has a few loose ideas.. nothing set in stone.
