Crystal colour clarity

Today I made a stop motion animation using jars, an old telephone and some water dyed different shades of blue and green. It's a pretty unemotionally attached group of objects I think. Although the jars did remind me of old chemists or science experiments. But I'm not sure this animation is suitable for the sound experiments as I feel the colour steals the attention, more than the sound would.


I really love vibrance of colours I can achieve using dyes and then editing the saturation and contrast afterwards. I hope that I can find software to edit the entire animation, rather than frame at a time, which would take forever.


I'm very tempted to explore colour within this project as well. I feel very drawn to this particular still; especially the jar in the centre because of it's strong, pure colours and crystal clarity (above).


Visual Diary Drawing


I feel todays drawing especially needs explaining. I spent the day behind a camera creating an animation... I also spent the day being indirectly behind many cameras capturing footage of the terrible earthquake and tsunami disaster happening in Japan. I felt on the 'safe' side of the camera, but felt such emotion for these people because of the intervention of this technology.
