Digital culture - freud / fame monster

A poster for my Freud project... influenced by a lady gaga poster which I felt was quite fitting!

Reading through Freud’s books I was struck by how theatrical and staged the images were of him. He poses for the pictures as an actor might do. His office was well set as a stage might be with all kinds of artifacts and artwork about him to help tell his story. He is almost acting out his role for others to view, captured in photos instead of film.

Many have disputed Freud’s work, but to date, no one has yet proved otherwise of his theories and until that day comes, he will be remembered and talked about and so will continue to have the fame that he wanted so badly and succeeded in having!

Everything will be ok - by Don Hertzfeldt


Love this animation... its a dark comedy but I thought it was very funny! - 'Everything will be ok' is a story of Bill’s spiraling bout of mental illness.

Digital Culture - Freud

Been reading about symbolism and Freuds interpretation of dreams... really liked this image I found. I think it has a dream like quality.

TIME project

As part of my time study project I created a little animation in stop motion using paper cutouts and a Lumix camera. For effect I want the movie to appear to change from old fashion to more modern to represent how images have changed through the history of film and so I've started with an old black and white movie effect using flash...

Ragdoll animation - 3ds max

Windy Tilby - Strings


Really like the way this painted animation looks... Really beautiful. This was created by painting on glass with stop action filming - no words!
