Mcqueen and Nick Knight.

 

This a video made by Nick Knight. A Mcqueen tribute.

 I just loved the effects and the blurryness of the video. And thought how to distort the model and make her look skeletal etc. Also the lighting is dramatic and effective.. and the whole video is sort of eery..Theres also alot of movement which can show the fabric of Lauras collection.

I also love the song Bjork is one crazy mofo.. and its just so dramatic.

Danny told me to look at shadedview.com, testmag.com, and promo news.

These are where all the latest vids etc come out.. and where people from the industry have a gander.

Video Inspiration.

because were going to do a video..

and im not too familiar with videos and short films.. its just become a recent passion really.

So im going to just wack out loads of vids that ive been looking at and enjoy.

And have given me some ideas etc.
There not really relevant to the theme of our project but theres elements i can take from it.

Im not really sure where to go with this at the moment..

Ive got too many ideas flowing through my brain.

But im feeling that if I can focus on like one word.. Anatomy. Because that is her basic theme.

So go off that.

Im really keen on doing something related to the contrast of her work..because everything im sort of seeing is a contrast. This could be with lighting..visuals etc. Im not really sure yet.

We are also doing a VIDEO. Its going to be a short film/ campaign video. To show her themes etc and some of her clothes.

Karl Blossfelidt, Andres Versalius and Bernard Siegrfried.

Laura has also looked alot into old images of anatomy drawings. There really dark and a little scary.

The images show alot of death aswell as showing the body. So again a contrast between death and life.

Some of them are grim.. and freak me out a little. Theres a lot of skeletons about.

Karl Blossfelidt, Andres Versalius and Bernard Siegrfried are the main artists she has looked at.

Okay.. so my first point of call.. 

Me and poppy are working together.. thought a collaboration of our skills would make our work awesome. 

We want to work with one of our own 3rd year fashion designers.

We thought by doing this we would have a fresh plate with them and can just basically do whatever we want.

Noone would of done anything with them.. so its ours to play with.

We have picked a girl called Laura Latham. Her work is really cool. I wasnt sure if i would like it at first because its sort of the opposite to me and what I like. She's really girly. But its a really great contrast.. between feminine and dark themes. 

She has looked into ANATOMY and the human body.. shes combined a contrast between the two. So she has elements of hard and soft fabrics representing flesh and bone. Which I really liked. 

She's used alot of fabric manipulation.. twists and wrapping etc. from looking at the muscles and how they intertwine.

The colours shes used are also based on the body, shes used nude colours but also wanted to brighten it up abit from the nude and has used purples and raspberry colours but these have come from bruises etc from the skin.

Her work is basically a massive contrast. Firstly from her personality..which is girly and feminine and then from the body.. the fabrics she has used and the themes.

Ok. So Ive not been on here in a while. Due to how shit my internet is at home. 

Im now doing my second year final major project.

And because Im so rubbish with sketch books.. im going to wack it out on my blog. Hopefully the lack of fastness of the internet at home isnt going to effect my blogging, but il give it a bash.

Im just going to put anything and everything i like on here. So it will be images.. videos etc. Anything I see.. feel and just chat on about really.

A virtual sketchbook.

 Enjoy.
