100 words, statement of intent.

Well we had a little presentation sesh on Tuesday...fun times!
Because I'd seen a few people using stop animation, I thought I'd take it within myself to have a pop at it! They're quite rubbish, but still, I'm proud of them for my first attempt! The group of people I was presenting too gave me some helpful feedback as to where I could take my research. The majority of them liked my animations, and said they'd like to see me do more. I must say, I was rather chuffed when they said that! :D It's something I'm quite interested in. It amazes me! And it's soooo simple! Anyways, they said I could use lines within buildings; looking at the shapes and structures. Also, colour and mixed media; such as sewing, paints, drawings etc.. was mentioed, as well as lines within type. I was told that drawing from photographs would be quite interesting, so I might play around with that idea and see what I can get from it.
Other than stop animation, it was suggested that I look at the environment. I've already taken a fair few photographs which people liked, so that would also be an interesting path to go further down. This would include urban landscapes and architecture, so this could very well be intercepted with the stop animations.
I think, from the presentation, and getting the feedback, it's quite clear that stop animation was a popular choice. So this is the path I'm most likey going to focus on.
