Sense of Place - Animated GIF

Love Spreads - The Stone Roses

Love Spreads

The GIF above shows the flow of images I took when visualising audio in my Sense of Place project. To create the image I used the vibrations of the speakers to move the paint. On the gif you can see how the vibrations make the paint get to its peak as the they change throughout the song.

Above is the video 'The Sound of Taste - Schwartz Flavour Shots' , This video inspired me when creating my visualising sound photoshoot as Schwartz have used the vibrations of sound to add life to their Herbs and Spices. I feel that one of the main messages that this campaign is trying to get across to the audience is that the Flavour Shots are bursting with flavour. 

Included in my project are other examples of songs i played through the speakers to map the sounds however they are just still images and not presented within a GIF format.

Blog Setup / Vimeo Account

This process and production session involved initially setting up our blog to allow us to start documenting about our Theory , Process and Production and Studio lectures. In this session we also begin to start our small animation about a book of our choice and set up a Vimeo account to show it on.

We created our Blogs using Blogger , which is run through Google , other potential sites we could have used were Wordpress and Tumblr however they are all more technical than blogger so we used it to get our posts up and published as soon as possible. We were shown how to lay our blogs out then were given time to customise it to how we wanted it to be presented. Although mine is nothing special in the design aspect of things it is still clear and presents information easily. The 3 main items we had to blog about were Process and production , Contextual/Theory and Studio sessions. As well as anything personal that we think will fit in , e.g. videos , book , exhibitions and artists that may link to my work.

My Blog ( You're on it )

We then set up our vimeo account which literally involved putting in an email and password so didn't involve any serious design aspects like blogger. After setting up our Vimeo account we were given the task to think of a book we enjoyed , in this case i picked A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess (1962). Although unfinished yet my animation consisted of the iconic Clockwork eye emerging on the page and leaving swiftly. I wanted to make my animation like this as i felt that it would allow the audience to identify what the Book was without seeing the title. In my next sessions we will use After effects to string our frames together and hopefully create a successful animation.
