WEEK#1 Project 2 IMAGES

Using 13 found images we created a visual sequence to tell a story. I worked by clashing and contradicting my images, trying different mediums, tracing, drawing and experimenting, which as a result began to tell a story on its own. Mine told a story of the merging and clashing of the different cultures and societies that created a new world. 




Research:
Paul Davis, Mark Todd, Chris Dent, Paula Scher, Ed Fella, Michael Bierut, Jeff Scher, Run Wrake, Ari Folman.


"RABBIT" by Run Wrake was created when Wrake experimented with some 1950's stickers that he came across in a junk shop and made a short film with these characters. He was heavily influenced by sampling, Dada and Pop Art.

Jeff Scher is an underground filmmaker who created experimental short films using lights, abstractions and visual effects all paired with music. His films are described as animated still life as they are made from various drawings. He uses his collages by overlapping colors and textures to convey 3D and movement. His films such as "Reasons to be Glad" are highly irrational in their juxtapositions and make no sense, as if in a dream like state.
