Life In Leeds

In this project, I learned two ways to make two types of gif which was very interesting and a long time coming considering my job is social media.

Setting up (incomplete because I wasn’t done by the time it was best to invite people round) for the presentation. Paddy unwrapped one of my paintings from some plastic wrap and asked if it was collusion since he was ‘helping’ me. Helping? You pulled some plastic off a finished painting I did, don’t let it go to your head.

Sides. Having only ever used flat canvases and smooth bristol, I was very thrown by the fact I suddenly had four extra surfaces to worry about.

Working with a casual rave happening on the screen is difficult, especially when you're also trying to make a moving image

My tiny baby laptop’s processor (and broken screen) was really struggling with the gif making, so I’ve upgraded to my father’s iMac temporarily

Imperfect but I think you can really tell its me.

Obviously procrastinated this one till the last minute. Even though I frequently paint myself, this one seemed most intimidating because however much I can say that you don’t know what my friends look like, you do know what I look like so you have a reference to compare the painting to.

When I posted it on here I realized that was not long enough, and I had to double it to 14 frames of photo, so 182 frames per gif. This makes the process take significantly longer but I think its important.

I think I pulled it together at the end, even though he looks a bit like Handsome Squidward from that episode of spongebob.

Thank you for indulging my probably obnoxious obsession with Manchester.
