stop motion animation research

I have been researching animation project on YouTube and have found a selection created in different styles that I find inspiring and will hopefully help with the development of my work.

This initial research has shown me there are lots of ways to create an animation, specifically in the field of stop motion. These examples come from all sorts of sources including music videos and from some of my favourite independent films such as Eagle V. Shark and The Science of Sleep and they use anything from real people, objects, pen on white board, sand and clay. This gives me a lot to think about with regards to my subject area!

                                          

  

    

                                            

Sun, Drums & Soil

For this print to pixel moduel I have been given the piece of music called "Sun, Drums & Soil"

When first listened to this piece of music it immediately started quite franticly and built up from there. Through out the piece there was a mixture between quite earthy tribal sounds in the form of drumming combined with a more jazz-like feel from a saxophone instrument. There piece didn't settle into a specific feel, but kept changing from fast to slower, to loud to softer. There was a constant rhythmic feel to the music but the tempo & feel kept changing.

If I was to describe this piece in three words I would have to choose:

-Warm

-Confused

-Changing
