Projected Visuals project

Notes

Interesting visuals

No story or narrative

Possible multi-projections

Experimental

Jump cuts

Rap music - 14 tracks to choose from

3-6 minute tracks

Don't follow the track specifically

I have found this project really hard and its taken me a while to come up with ideas, the fact we can't really create something with any narrative makes it hard to plan. I thought this is a hard project for film and would be better as an animation but I am going to see what I can create with film. I have gone for a theme based on dreams, creating something abstract but relates to dreams of success and power. I want to include business and con-men as this relates to money which most of the songs are about.

Rough ideas

Inspirational images:

Escher, Eye

I was inspired by this piece of work because I find it really powerful showing you what the person sees and how they feel. It's like the window to the soul, and from this I wanted to create an extreme close up of an eye and layer a car wheel over the iris. This piece of work shows death by the skull but if I show a wheel moving from the iris I am representing moving forwards and being successful.

Star Trails

I want to try and create a time lapse of the stars moving across the night sky and I was inspired a while ago when I saw a star trail image on BBC's 'Stargazing Live'. I have found a couple of star trail images online. I find the work facinating as it shows how the world is turning. The images remind me of the movement and power from the brushstrokes of Van Gogh's paintings.

Inspirational videos:

Hustle - TV series opening credits

I love the animation for this and I want to use Photoshop to create a silhouette man in a suit similar to this. I thought the simplicity works well only showing the tie, shirt and sunglasses.

Time-lapse of night sky

I find this work incredible and I would love to create a time-lapse of the stars going across the night sky. I have been looking up how to do this on the internet and found tutorials which tell you how its done with a DSLR, like what settings it needs to be on. My brother has one of these and I will need his help to try and create this work, it involves taking photos all through the night.

Kanye West - Power

I like the style of a renaissance painting representing heaven and power. I would like to find a few paintings like this which I can layer some of my own film on to represent power.

Idea 1

Idea 2

Although this idea of layering the video will be quite hard I think it would look really interesting. I would just have to line the images up right to work with the shapes, colours etc and set one of the video's opacity down.
