I asked for help from my flatmate in order to produce a GIF of my final pieces. I wanted to show the power of turning fake items into the real thing with just a touch, and I think this really comes across in the final outcome.
What I liked:
- Fairly choppy effect, think it works by not having too many frames as it adds to the home made feel of the piece
- Like how the different angles on paper/real contrast so strongly to show the loosening up of the natural form
- How simple the forms of the paper items are, as I think the difference between them and the real things draw attention to the magical nature of my 'power' by transforming them to more complex items
What I struggled with:
- Composition of produce, took a long time to produce a composition which allowed each piece to be showcased whilst still having a smooth transition between each touch
- Producing the final thing in one take in order for the items to be in the same place, meaning I had to rehearse the order and compositions beforehand
- Placement of camera before we utilised a tripod
What I have learnt:
- How to translate 3D through lens to a 2D format
- How to create narratives through GIFs
- How to push paper craft to create simplistic but effective forms
- How to plan compositions and orders in advance
