I’m trying not to get discouraged with my very slow progress in making an animation. Not so much slow in the literal sense of making stuff. More, in my slow progress of understanding how to do it. I figured that knowing the priniciples of animation, and through experiementation, with photoshop/i stop motion to help me along, I could get to the stage where I can make something.
Its very hard. There’s a lot of commitment required.
i am really enjoying making lots of small drawings. Montype drawings they are. I have drawn maybe 50 or so. I have ideas about how they could form sculptural work. I want to sew them together. Digitally though, its going to take me a-very-long-time to get to a point where it forms a viewable animation. mmm.
I’ve been playing with photoshop this morning on some digital images taken from the negative remaining on the plate after the monotype drawing has been taken away. There could be something there.
I really want to work in a really intuitive way with this. Possibly I mean – lazy – without all the workings out necessary.
