During todays session we were set on the task of creating ten seconds of motion. Which included recapping skills which we previously learnt last year, Sara explained that year two is all about generating new and different ideas along with approaching them differently too, therefore making the pieces much more personal. We also discussed what goes on in your own mind, how you think, how you create ideas, how do you focus? Trust that your best work will eventually come, which is something that everyone must accept as we are not fully skilled yet.
Before beginning the workshop, we watched a couple of different videos which we would use as inspiration for the session.
MGMT - All We Ever Wanted Was Everything from oneedo on Vimeo.
We also watched a number of videos created by Steffen K, due to the fact that he works a lot with shapes and that is what we are focusing on during this session:
30 motion tests in 30 seconds from Steffen K on Vimeo.
Animation Sequence Project from Steffen K on Vimeo.
Finally we created a short clip which was made up of a number of shorter clips and shapes that we had created previous to this session. I was impressed with my recollection of what i created last year as it made it much easier to complete this workshop.
