Danger 5 Miniatures and Animation for contemporary media landscape:

We intend to create some stop - motion animation tomorrow (Friday 12th Feb) and maybe create a little fight seen or some kind of dynamic movement. I want to try a bit of physical 3d stop motion animation, maybe experimenting with different ways of moving the body and also creating surreal elements as shown in the above link.

Matte Painting:

I also want to experiment with traditional matte painting techniques. I was particularly inspired by a video Vimeo Film School created called 'The Joy of Matte Painting' in which it explains in detail the process of creating a matte painting. This process will involve collaborating with a painter/artist but we can sort that out in the meantime if we decide to pursue this avenue.

I will update you as we create these experiments.
