Investigation

The following pieces of design were found on deviantart.com and were made by an artist that goes by the name of EmoMonkey5. I think these pieces exemplify concepts in media design as they both experiment with the idea of the introduction of fantasy to reality. This idea is what I believe media design to be; an art form that allows us to bring our imagination and fantasy worlds into reality. 


The piece of art above shows the vision of the artist being put into reality.


This photograph shows the very iconic walkers from Star Wars walking along a normal highway instead of being in the snow like the were in the star wars films. It shows a piece of media design brought to live in  an everyday location.

I could use these pieces of design to influence my own stop motion film. I could develop these ideas into my film much like Patrick Jean has done in his short film "Pixels" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou8vRWTSsJo). I could use an artist that turns into a projector which then projects his artistic visions onto the landscape. Monsters on creatures could start to rise from behind buildings and effect their surroundings. This would be very appropriate to my chosen discipline as it will show my idea that our fantasy can be translated into media design and brought  into reality.

One Word Film: Conformity

https://vimeo.com/41674127

Conformity Animation



This animation explores conformity through the use of typography. Each of the letters' identities can be clearly seen when we examine them by themselves, but conformity puts them into a group where they lose their individual identities and are much harder to see as individual letters. In the final seconds of the animation we see the letter Y conform to the group.
