Latest images regarding animal print/patterns/geometry/symmetry for my FMP. I projected my animations and patterns onto a model and took photographs and film (see a previous post). Here are some of the highlights.

Projecting a zebra/kaleidoscope animation I made onto a model. Not quite sure what I'm doing with it yet, this was more of an experiment.

More stills from an animation, this time using tiger skin and a kaleidoscope effect. 

Film stills

Stills from a film about Solar Energy I have included in my film for a brief set by SAS. I combined my film (above) with the audio from The Solar Film by Saul Bass made in 1980.

Mole Man

Today I found out about the Mole Man. He lived in this house, built in about 1850, on De Beauvoir Town until 2006 when he was evicted and moved to a hotel, then lived a flat nearby. I've been filming old buildings in Dalston today for my project on solar energy and got chatting to a man who lives on the street who told me all about Bill (nasty character apparently). During his 50 years living there, he dug 60ft of tunnels under the house causing it to sink by 1ft which is why he was forced out for safety reasons. He was a hoarder and the property was filled with trash (including cars and a boat) as high as the corrugated iron fence is here. I walk past this building every week so it's interesting to finally know it's history.

Stills from a short film I'm making about a moll. It was shot in a hotel just off Sloan Square. All images my own. More information to follow on the release of the film in the coming weeks.

Zebra

Stills from an animation inspired by the zebra. I used after effects to make a kaleidoscope effect on an image of a zebra skin. I'm working on a few variations and using different animals and then will find a suitable place to project them onto, perhaps a model.

Repeat patterns made in Photoshop involving tigers. Just a couple experiments towards my final major project. You could say I'm obsessed with tigers at the moment.

Research for a project on solar energy. 'The Solar Film', 1980, is a short film by Saul Bass about how solar energy is our future.

Yesterday I walked from Bermondsey to the Design Museum. I went to see the Designs of the Year but will have to go again for the Christian Louboutin exhibition.

BW

A short stop motion video elaborating on the paint images I made last week. This is the first in a series. Each is inspired by a different animal. In this case, a zebra. (High quality upload coming soon.)

Here are some images I made simply using Photo Booth. I found the page in an old 'Atlas of World Wildlife' I found in Oxfam and experimented with the 'mirror' effect. I like how Photo Booth blends the line in the middle of the photograph, something I've been playing with an Photoshop too.
