One Dot Zero Animation

One Dot Zero

I decided to use stop animation for my final outcome. I have never used after effects and I am not really confident on flash design, I have used stop frame for a number of things in my first and also second year, and I felt compatible using it on my own. Also I wanted to give a different feel to the animation, not so technical, I do like what after effects can do, as well as flash but I love the home made feel to stop frame, and I do think that it appeals to most people because it will stands out on our plasma flat screen televisions with it being not so high tech.

I have designed a cover for my animation, a concertina book of my drawings from the animation and also a t-shirt. With the brief telling us to not limit myself to making a finished film, and also knowing that One Dot Zero are about experimentation with moving image in any context, so I thought that a concertina book and a t-shirt is something that we can move ourselves.

One Dot Zero

The brief was asking me to explore the concept of ‘The Disappearing City’ via a progressive, multi-disciplinary, cross-media approach to storytelling, with a work of moving image at the heart of your final piece. I was not-to-not limit myself into making a finished film but I felt it was relevant. onedotzero is about experimentation with moving image in any context, so as well as film and animation, experimental work in motion graphics, installations and even live action would be relevant.

My final book for group project

Sadly this is no longer with us, as Ian Anderson has taken it away with him after our lecture!!
