Stop Motion Animation: Color Me Sexy

   This is my stop motion video "Color Me Sexy". The video is about a plain white wooden mailbox that gets painted and turned sexy with colors, eyes and a beautiful flower thingy. The conflict of this video is the plain white wooden mailbox that needs color. The resolution is the mailbox being painted.

  This video contains almost 900 photos and it took me about 12 hours to complete because i wanted to make sure when put together, the photos flowed good together. The title alone took me two hours. I drew out, cut and painted every letter for the title and the "By: Katie" paper took a while as well because i had to draw a line, then snap a picture, draw a line, snap a picture. It also took so long because every time i finished a color, i had to hurry and rinse the sponge i was using thoroughly so the colors didn't blend all ugly and stuff. Oh yea and i didn't mention that my cameras built in battery would die like every 20-25 minutes and i would have to take a break and let it charge, and my paint would have dried up by then.

  If i could re-do this, i would have tried to do more with the mailbox, like make mail fly out of it or some crazy stuff. I would also have used a brush instead of a sponge, but I assume that would probably take two times longer.

Well, if you really read this, bless you. I hope you enjoy the video!

Stop Motion Storyboard

 This is my storyboard for my stop motion video "Color Me Sexy" sorry for the terrible illustration. I promise the video will be much much better :)

George Rush : Darker With The Day :Interpret the work

     I feel like the meaning of the work is to show that, though time changes and the day goes by, there are things that stay the same. On each wall, the extensions of the paintings on the walls, the branches, were the same with every piece. The black, white, and grey tones give off a depressing feel, but the art does not make me sad or depressed. Personally, I loved the exhibition. the series basically shows this table in front of this window throughout a whole day. The table and the window do not change but, through the day, the table gets used and the light coming through the window changes dramatically as it gets darker. the series gives a great visual description of the title "Darker with the Day". The changes in tones also show the change of time in the series. the movement of certain objects on the table and the shades coming through the window also show time.

Questions i would ask George Rush :

1. Were there any "mistakes" that you made that you just left and blended with the art?

2. What made you choose to paint the items you did on the table?

3. Why a table? Why not just a chair or a stool?

      

George Rush : Darker With The Day : Describe the work

      The name of this exhibition was Darker with the Day by George Rush. This exhibition was created with, seems like acrylic paint on canvas. The work is displayed seeming as if the art gallery itself is a house. When you first enter the gallery, you see a window that seems dark, as if you are looking from the outside in. Once you go further in the gallery, it seems as if you are standing in the house and you are looking out the window with each painting. On the same wall, reverse from the darker window painting is a light window painting that shows the inside looking out kind of. Rush uses many different tones of black, white, and grey. The paintings use very sharp tonal values and blend nicely. He extended the art by painting what seem to be trees as the background of the painting. The work interacts well with the exhibition space because of the trees outside and the lighting as well. The subject of the work is for the viewer to experience the feeling of seeing through a window and watching the change in the tones as the day gets darker. Most people that have seen the exhibition do not like the work. They appreciate it, but the may not like it.
