Research Proposal: Practical Work

Idea 1:
Do a study on some modern art styles relevant to a subject matter. Plan out an animation that will incorporate this style. The essence is to make movement coherent to the style and reflects the subject matter. A feasible way to do it will be for me to do a series of animated roughs with different styles to be entered into the Loopdeloop challenge, and submit the one that can best convey the subject matter to the competition.

Idea 2:
Experimental study on recyclable materials with unique shape, form and/or textures to be made a low-cost, sustainable experimental animation for the practical. Study could be an exploration on shot-framing, deforming, applying paints or dye. Treatment of material with appropriate soundscape to give the audience the mood you want them to have and for them to respond to it.

Idea 3:
Study in the form of observational drawings of people interactions and places. Incite personal response to real life situation. Volunteering back in Indonesia (probably from teaching English). Document my experience being in a situation that is different to the usual cultural context I lived in through making a one second animation a day with quick drawing media.

Idea 4:
Play a game of word association and visual imagery to make a narrative in a group. It will be animated with a certain visual style and movements depending on the narrative.  See 'Seasons' below.

Idea 5:
Informative zine about the visual investigation based on the written piece.
