Sound & Vision

mind maps for trying to work out sound & vision project.

My three starting words were curious, navy blue, record player.

I wanted something curious, started to think about people born with different appearances or conditions.

Then I just thought I could do something like a shop of curiosities as I thought about how there were cabinet of curiosities a few centuries ago.

Since this was a collaboration project with the sound arts students, it was cool to have 'record player'as one of my given words to start from. I decided I should just include a gramophone which got me thinking of old eras like steam and such. Steam punk is pretty nice visually, I love the brass and wood combination so I made my gramophone like that with reference images off the net.

i liked the idea of curio cabinets that is also in the old days, so I thought about making the main character a curiosity of a sort, which brought me back to mythical creatures of Tibet -- the garuda!

Here's one of my doodles. Though he turns out quite differently from here for easier animation.

Worst Job Ever Assignment

My choice for the 'worst job ever' was 'being shoes', so I depicted the shoes being worn by a hairy legged man! I thought it would be nice to have the shoe find a love interest even though he only sees her (the fancy red shoes) only briefly before her owner hops onto the next train. I also included stepping on gum, walking over broken glass and into muck!

Here, I took pictures of my brother's shoes and drew on them after printing them out...

Here are a few images from my storyboard project. I used my wacom tablet to draw these in photoshop. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the aspect ratio....

My favourite image is of the shoes on the tube platform. <3
