Creating the sea foam for the master shot!
Here is a quick experiment I did in my sketchbook for creating the sea foam!
I started off with a swatch of blue watercolor and then dabbled on layers and layers of acrylic paint as time went on. Unfortunately I didn't have any impasto but I think that would have worked really effectively in bulking up the paint and making it appear foamier.
Even though it took lots of layering I do think this is a good way of capturing sea foam!
Lastly here are some of my master shot ideas I had and the original storyboard frame for them, the idea which I'm still heavily leaning with is for each stage of my life and different ages I was depicted in the storyboard, I want the artstyle to reflect that, by emulating the different kind of ways my art used to be like and has become over time, from simple child drawings with marker, to proper detailed pen sketches with much more confident strokes. Each frame I choose, to me, felt to be the ones with most potential to be visually striking and I hope to make a bigger piece to really showcase the art directions and such, each scene has different settings so that is almost secondary for this work in this case, but they're all tied to temporary places, like airport, bus, cinema and college too, the colours meanwhile, I'm hoping to do mixtures of colourful and cheerful to dark moody and lastly calm and soothing, comforting even, so there's a lot of wiggle room to experiment, my previous posts of my moodboard and inspiration are still what I'm closely hoping to do with my work and the directions I take it in.

Finishing the Master Shot!
This is the completed master shot! I mainly used watercolours and colouring pencils, although I used thick, dabbled layers of acrylic paint for the sea foam and my prints for the rocks.
I focused in heavily on the element of pattern- I made sure to include different motifs in the sea, sand and the ones already made from the rocks I printed in the last elective.
I think the spirals in the sea are very effective in conveying it's movement, and I drew a lot of inspiration from Song of the Sea and the Neolithic patterns used in the piece. The ridges of sand show geomorphological movement and movement of time, while the rocks show the movement of particles and time.
Once I'd finished the patterns, I did two washes on the sky, one red and one blue, to create a greyish sky that also had a playful feel to it. I didn't want the sky to be too gloomy because I think it would contradict the light, jovial mood of the piece. I added in sand dunes similar to the beach where I took my primary research photos (see photo above!)
I think my master shot does a good job of conveying what the piece is about, although if I was to do it again, I might include the seal somewhere in the piece. However, that would give away the mystery in the animation, so I think that ultimately I chose the best possible scene for the master shot.
Continuing the Master Shot!
Today I focused on finishing off the master shot to help ground the tone of my animation!
To keep with the interdisciplinary nature of the project, I used the prints I made in the last elective as a part of the background. I experimented with zooming into the prints and changing the colours with the photocopier, but I decided to stick to more neutral colours like brown and black rather than purple and pink, to help keep emphasis on the characters.
To place the rocks in the scene, I first drew out the shapes I wanted to be filled with rocks on the master shot. I then traced the shapes with tracing paper, cut them out and traced around the shapes on the rock page, before cutting them out.
I think the rock prints work really well because they add a different level of detail to the piece. They also help to further connect the animation back to the theme of movement, because they link back to the idea of geomorphological movement over time and the movement in patterns on rocks!
