for this new version I have decided to revisit the original Lino cut illustration.
Working with collaging technique using paper painted with acrylic, watercolour, ink and pastel.
Using a mono colour palette to connect to the adult and the idea that the world feels 'dull' in comparison to childhood.
The textures and imperfections from the mediums offer an imprint effect to create a connection between the poem and the animation, with the intention of the imprint symbolising the imprint left on adulthood from our childhood.

revised storyboard - the house grows legs

# data[].attributes.body
Each frame has been drawn out digitally and then sketched onto square flat felt, needle felted after. Equalling to 50 squares. Details will be added on digitally and edited together in post-production.

Each bird will be felted and cut out, added to the starling nest

Experimented with a wet felting technique to create the sky for to-let. Merging a variety of blue wool together to combine fibres and achieve a different consistency to felting with needles.
The texture continues to appear soft but flat and creates an alternative visual for the sky next to the hills.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration between myself and other poets around Manchester. Creating animation and illustrated pieces for a series of 4-6 short poems. Varied topics.

Proffesional links with SOC, Oliver Sykes, Emmy Clarke, Contact theatre (Keisha Thompson).

Opportunity to work with different styles and mediums in short pieces. Exhibition would display the series of poems (in a fun way), with an anthology of the poems and illustrations for each.
Taking all the components of the animation and displaying them.

Possible connection with Contact Theatre for professional industry links.

Can be a variation of poems with different themes.

Trying Lino cutting for the first time to experiment with texture and materials

# data[].attributes.body
1. back story, paper-cut stop motion or 2D to create an enigmatic atmosphere. Introduction to the piece and the curse, who, why and how.
2. Present - stop motion animation. Character is in set, art studio in woods, scenic places. Doesn't know about the curse at this point, she struggles with art block unbeknown to what is to come.
3. finds clues and begins to understand more - fast paced scene.
4. ventures out and discovers the true reason, finds a solution.

Artist character who is trying to overcome art block. They follow a guide which leads them to taking a step into nature.

The character takes a train which leads them to a mysterious place, filled with mischievous creatures.

At the end of the piece the character has explored this magical world which has provided them with more ideas, beyond what is already out there.

Short piece - 3 mins (possibly)
Stop-motion and 2D
Experimentation with 2D style to give character backstory, possibly paper/ watercolour etc - softer feel to it

Poem written and narrated by Wendell Berry

I'm so excited and grateful to have collaborated with Charlotte Ager to bring to life her beautiful illustrations for this poem. This film involved the most intensive colouring process I've ever used for a project in order to try and accurately reproduce Charlotte's drawings done on paper.

Animated in Adobe Animate & coloured in Photoshop
