Meat Love

I don't eat meat, but loved Meat Love! The imperfections of the stop motion animation, the color, and music were remniscint of that from a 1950's advertisement or a spread in Good Housekeeping magazine. What a dandy recipe for your husband's supper after a long day at work. The meat play on words with meet was clever (or cleaver:) and hopefully if they've not met, they didn't come from the same cow! Their first/last dance was hilarious, but the roll about in the flour was a bit disturbing. When the couple was finally tossed into the bubbling grease, I found myself wishing this pair would have met a different way.

The complexity of their work and devotion to ensuring a stellar product is something I have great respect for. I had a great mentor who would always say, "you can't rush art". I love that Colburn sometimes spends years on her projects and am in awe of her work in progress of the 52 minute stop motion animation, The Garden. After finding out Colburn was Gallagher's mentor, the commonalities fell into place. Gallagher did not create works mimicking those of Colburn, but used a lot of the same techniques.

Kelly was blessed to have a mentor who had already figured out most of what works and what doesn't, so she had an advantage in stepping into this genre without having to do a plethora of tests. ...

Joseph's Presentation - Nam Jun Paik & Aaron Koblin

I had not heard of either of these artists befor this presentation, but suppose that is the purpose! Nam June Paik is extremely interesting and unique to his art because it's base is complicated technology I could never understand! The K-95 Robot Synthesizer was unreal and appeared very expensive, although it was mentioned it was not at the time. My favorite of his shown works was the Black Box museum installations. The vast number of television screens creating different images flowing throughout as time passed is not just art, it's an experience... and one I'd like to have!!

Final Project Plans - Choose your own Adventure #5

Meg Lansaw Final Project: Adventure #5 Surrealist Stop Motion Animation Research: Martha Coburn and Kelly Galliger are my assigned artists for my presentation and they create stop motion animation, so I will definitely drawn inspiration from them. I also plan to research tutorials online the best way to technically accomplish this film. I will be experimenting with several phone apps designed specifically for stop motion, Description: Arrow is a stop motion animation about a feral dog surviving in a landfill as he awaits his forever home. The set is a shoe box sized landfill comprised of items my previous dog destroyed, as well as trash accumulated from the project. The dog is made from a flexible plastic-coated wire my old dog ripped out of a cat toy. Adjustable toy bulldozers and construction workers will doze in the background, and aluminum birds will litter the top of the frame. Trains and planes will pass by in the background with a backdrop o...
