Muybridge fun
This is a second attempt at playing with this Muybridge image....the first time I worked completely digitally....this one, we worked on hardcopies that were then scanned and animated.
Kate Shannon: I chose the flamingo for its length & color & somewhat comical appearance. I like to draw little characters and wanted to take the opportunity to put one into action. The original flamingo in my sketchbook is wearing sneakers. I like the idea of my work being in color, while leaving the original frame images alone: separate,yet the same. The flamingo seems to casually notice the Muybridge horse running through....symbolic of the many hands these 12 frames have seen....the horse seems to just be passing through a moment in the flamingo's life rather than the flamingo through his
Interesting! What is the significance of the flamingo?

DeleteI love how you make it look as if the horse is stepping on the flower. The most simple part of the animation is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteKatie Smith: Thanks for noticing! I wasn't sure how that would work out...or if anyone would even notice it...glad to see someone did:)
