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 of cotton ball clouds. SCHEDULE: Weekly - Wednesdays 10AM-1PM and every other Saturday 10AM-1PM Gannt Chart: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WSuasFdSCFEDqMl0cnYlvzDlTBCfnK6c/view?usp=sharing STORYBOARDS: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jaRmpA8gN9VeABUC3XaI-R5C-iXdDx2X?usp=sharing

    I commend you for setting out on the stop motion journey! I think it'll be a really great piece. Also knowing that it'll be shoebox size is really helpful to visualize what it might be like. I think that'll be a perfect size and setting for this. Also excited to see all the mini props and characters.

    I'm doing stop motion as well, and I looked a little into Martha Colburn's while trying to figure out what to do. She is a fascinating artist, I'm looking forward to seeing your presentation as well as this final project!

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!!

Hugh's Presentation

George Kuchar & Guy Maddin It's difficult to write about Hugh's presentation due to the two week break between his first and second subject. I would have liked to have seen this presentation all at once to get a better understanding of the similarities of the artists. I do know that HUMOR was a commonaility between the two! I have a bit of a twin obsession, so I find it very interesting that Kuchar had a twin who was also involved in film. I am curious how the death of his brother affected his art... What I found most interesting about Maddin is his intentional use of mistakes. The fact that he entrusted himself to make the mistakes knowing he could not fix them was intriguing and led to some incredible films.

Meg's Presentation - Martha Colburn and Kelly Gallagher

I am grateful to Shannon for assigning me these two incredibly artists who have inspired me ever since I watch a minute of each of their films. 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. Since Colburn is 15 years older, Gallagher had the privilege of working with another strong female who had trailblazed this path. 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. ...
