sandy skoglund prt 3

whilst looking at images of sandy skoglunds i ran across an artist who did the same kind of image for a project and was highly inspired by sandy and this is what he said and this is his image below

"An emulation of one of my new all time favorite photographers Sandy Skoglund. Her work is amazing and mine doesn't come close but I wanted to do it for a class assignment. Most of her images contain elaborate sets in one color with a strange object that doesn't belong in the setting in a contrasting color. I think I might need more birds. "

Sandy Skoglund part 2

as i had mentioned in the first part, sandy uses a very vivid set of colour, most of the image is all the same apart from one part which is normally the first part of the image u focus on, this image below is a great example of this, the whole image is a green with different shades except for the plant, which is sitting right in the middle, why is it there?, why isnt it the same colour?, why a plant? many questions come to mind which will never be answered, i believe that this will help me for a colour scheme for my image as i am colour blind, so i may use very random colours as an artistic choice to make the audience think to themselfs, is that what it is like to be colour blind, but the image itself will make them ask many more questions, this could be the start of an idea that i may progress with.

Sandy Skoglund

this image is know as revenge of the goldfish, i have been looking at a lot of her work and the same thing comes to mind between her work and gregory crewdsons, i look at the work and many questions come to mind but no answers, i can think up scenarios as to why the goldfish could be there or as to why they r taking revenge but why in the bedroom, why is the room all the same colour, i get many different feelings from this image which i cannot quite describe or say what they are, the images sandy produces are very dream like. from looking at some of her work i am starting to get ideas which i will need to put down on paper, the images themself are quite desturbing in some way and this is giving me ideas as to what i will need to make the audience feel from my image which i am going to create, a sense of uneasieness, the uncanny in some ways, an image which if it where real and you was in the middle of that image would make you feel scared or worried, i think this is the approach i am going to be using for my project idea.

research

well iv been looking at images from each artist and im finding myself asking lots of questions about the image with no answers there, each image seems to be a huge mystery and i believe this is what the project is mainly about, making an image which makes the viewer ask more questions about the image without giving answers as to why, i believe this is something gregory crewdson does very well with his images. there are lots of questiosn and no answers.

like with this image, u can ask a lot of questions but those kinda questions u can also answer to some degree but when it comes to the light, its puzzling and mysterious, where does it come from? why is it lighting up only that area? why not somewhere else? it makes you ask lots of questions and there are more questions than answers in the image itself.

3red semester part 2

right this is my second blog entry on the 3rd semester now, we have watched a few films and we have started workin in maya which i have been waiting for, our first project in maya is to create this environment picture and render it out, the second thing which we are working on in maya is a pre viz video which i have enjoyed so far, i have chosen the classic car scene from the film wanted and im remaking it in maya as a pre viz piece of work, the animation is almost done and i just need to animate the characters/people in the scene, the vehicles are done apart from 2 doors lol.

i have been looking at a lot of images from a few artists but i stall havnt quite thought up my image, i have some ideas which i need to get down onto paper but hopefully all will do well, il write some more on here later as going to do some more research, cya

3rd semester start

right this is my first blog, iv had a week now to look over the project and i have had a few ideas for the different projects i am to be working on, i have set out the layout for my website which we are creating in dream weaver and for Alan i have chosen my video for my pre-vise animation. i have looked through multiple films that i enjoy with action scenes and my choice fell down to the car chase scene in wanted where the car spins around and the main character ends up in the car. the other scene i have chosen was from iron man, the scene where tony is in the suit trying to evade the 2 raptor fighters in the sky. i believe these scenes would be very interesting and fun to create pre-vise for.

over the last week i have also been looking at images by gregory crewdson, i have been looking at his work and some other to try and find an edge on the image i am going to create for my final crit. i will post later to show some of the things i have been working on.
