i just realised i havent actually posted that much in the way of research, ive been scouring this website mostly, it litraly has thousands of self promoiton examples on it. i will post more later but just browsing through this helped got some ideas down.
final of my video, there is alot i want to change but because its stop motion, it would be quite difficult to alter but i think it just about gets the message across, i can always work on it over the holidays whilst i look for work. i think the music works well but the imagery could have been choosen better, i think i just got too focused on one idea here.
my first time making a gif happy days!, i have story boarded out a few other variations but i wanted to focus on this one as it is more relating to my name …. iron filings …. ironmonger … get it ? any who its just a play about and i can use it to advertise myself along with my work in progrss animation.
these are more photos from my stencils im going to use for my animation, again im going to be using a mix of iron and graphite. the iron provide capabilities for animation and the graphite will stick to the spray mount and leave the design behind.
so after a while of faffing about and being genraly disorganised, i have finaly got round to experementing with spraymount and fillings of some description. these are some photos from my experimentation. after showing it to tutors and getting some positive feed back, i decided to experement with graphite first to see if spraymount has the capacity to hold anything other than a sheet of paper. i found it worked quite well, well enough that i want to mix graphite in with iron filings to get this smudged effect so rarther than using just the iron fillings to create the logo, i can use graphite to accentuate it. if its mixed in with the iron, when the magnet is used to move the iron filings, the graphite will be left behind to mudge and revieal the logo

just watched a brilliant vietnamese film named “the rebel” its set in 1922 during the rebelion against the french occupation. its about a agent working for the french who turns and fights for the rebels then there is a love story and so on but some of the choreographed martial arts scenes are just so badass and despite how boring i have made the story seem, its actualy really good, the female lead (Ngo Thanh van) isnt the typical girl who needs saving and can actualy fight whilst the male lead ( Johnny Nguyen) is just a loveable character. any who thought i would just post this on here so i dont forget what this film is …. knowing me i will forget the name when i want to watch it again. check out Clash swell, same 2 leads but even better story
now this is really cool, being able to use magnetism to manipulate the filings
for my self promotion video, i am going to be looking at doing a motion piece using iron filings with a magnet, thought this was pretty cool seeing how the iron filings make an invisible force visible.

i know this advert has been on tv for a while now but ive been pondering over the animator behind it for a while, i though it was by an animator called Pez and with a bit of research found out that it was … what a suprise !! its very remenicent of western spaghetti which is an earlier video by pez…. got quite excited by that haha. if your havent seen any of pez’s work then deffinatly check it out, some great stopmotion animation
