Haven’t posted here for a while, so thought maybe I should.. it’s a weird period of time right now. I’ve been learning how to communicate with people, so it feels less necessary to communicate anonymously with the world in this way..

In saying that, the things I talk to people about aren’t the things I speak about here.. but I guess it frees up enough mental space to think my art-related thoughts more clearly.

Anyway. Third instalment of my Sk8 Drills practice series.. I think Sk8 and Dojo drills will continue on at random intervals, helps to develop my fast-action related skillset in a way that connects with things I‘m excited by. Also thinking to add ‘Stillness’ to that line up, so I can learn how to create beautiful, thought provoking backgrounds and passing moments for my eventual longer projects... photography is also assisting with this goal.

The daydream that inspired me to take driving lessons lol. On my insta, I rambled a little about RPG’s and stepping out of my comfort zone, no need to repeat.

I had a few of study goals with this one; to work out the formula for timing animation with music (it’s a bit mathematical), to give a sense of narrative rather than just animating what looks cool and to improve my continuity in stringing shots together. Also learned that my favourite part of production is called ‘Sound Design’ - this is essentially the sourcing or creation of sound fx, followed by layering and synchronisation to create a sound scale for the imagery. I’m considering taking a course somewhere to bring me up to a professional level, so I can potentially work with others.

I think sound is what brings life and authenticity to a piece, ‘sound is information’ and we often subconsciously hear a lot more than we see in our environment. In the future, I think I’d like immersive soundscapes to be a signature of my style, along with my constant ode to the sky. I will continue averting my attention to film theory because these details are what will elevate my work in the future.
