Theses references has something in common, the music behind. The sound director is something I never thought to explore before, but since my father is a musician, and I have connections with musics my since I´m a children I wanted to know how is the sound world. With my research, I used them to explain what they have in common is what I want to study, the musicality in movie images.
Now I can think what type of research to do, music theory, fellings, therapy theorys, differents aesthetics with differents skils and materials. How in animations movies work with sounds, and why is important has the sound. I need to research it, because I think if I want with a theme, I have to undertand since the begginnig the basic but explore deep the all concept, for take more features and use it into to the work, like what type of system I´ll study the waves in the music.
The short analisys I have done is more about movies using the music, but not exactly dancing or singing, but intepreting, give a visual point to the audience. Made my question be, "How and where the music can be translate visually?", " how to interpret a music using animation?", the research helps me to understand my interests and is a guide to me, to look at what the project is about and why I´m study this. What goals should I have, to keep a sucefful and sastify work not just for the public, but for me. ]]> 2019-03-19 02:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/342675252 Day 2 - Proposal clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/343999226 Today I finished my proposal, hard thing to do, because can’t write what’s my mind about the final outcome, and more about the all project. So I detached from my final ideia for what I want to study. Also was hard write not just how but why I want to explore musicality, one reason I chose this theme is because I want to be out of my comfort zone and my father is a musician, who has been my primary research, he use music to escape from reality and same time use to explore him emotions, learning me the connection humans have with music, and where I can see this, is on films, mostly in animations films, where has more emphasis in music scenes. So I putted my mainly question, about music and visual, and try to answer why I chose, explaining the relevance to me and to part 3 project, because I want to explore this connection between the viewers in the movie.

Also the action plan was easy to make in the start, because I know how I want to start, with experiments, and what type of experiments I wanna do, is for this I decided to make experiments relevante and could be useful in the final outcome. But in the make week, was more difficult I cannot think what more I can explore than produce the final piece. But I understand everything can change in this process, I can even change my ideas, is for this, I put in the beginning, idea generation, for think about which path I chose to follow, and what can be my plan B.

To conclude, make this brief was hard because I felt really responsible, because I want this so much, and make in the best way.

]]> 2019-03-21 20:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/343999226 Day 4 - Idea generation clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/344400162 Charles lectures taught me how to deal with me and my mistakes, he took complex concepts and translate easily. I learned we have to produce much we can, and doesn’t matter if the idea is not good enough, the important is we are trying to produce an idea, this concept helps me to understand why is so important generate many ideas, and how to deal when I got a problem, like the example he told when the meteor chock with the earth, an unexpected problem, and the goal is to enjoy this unexpected problem and try to transform into a new idea or use this for resolve a problem. This is not just about art process, but about how to see the world. About mistakes, he explain why mistake is so important to the process, is a clue, we are trying, and don´t give up, always producing and learn with the mistakes, and to me, this was amazing , because I don´t like when I have done in the wrong way, and I put in the garbage sac, because it´s means I´m not good enough, what proves I´m hard with myself, so the lecture helps to accomplish, is fine make mistakes.
To me, is really important start the project with the research, what I’m doing in this week, looking to primary research, talk with people who knows about music or art therapy. They are guiding me to what type of research I must do, and what decisions are best in the skills I want to explore. But to start to write something in the sketchbook is more hard because I felt really responsible, where I must start? So I talked with the tutor, who told me, I should not think, just drawn or write something relevant, and follow. On my action plan today, I wrote I have to make idea generation, what´s was perfect with the Charles lecture. So I wrote my proposal, trying to analyze where I can start, and why? After made also research analysis, I made a mind map, to arrive in idea generation. So I´m using Charles lecture, when I´m trying to do make information to me.
In the idea generation process, I took 3 mainly topics from my proposal, music, visual and feelings. I always try to connected them somehow in my ideas, what generates 4 strong ideas, and my goal is to create an idea put all other together, or chose one which I can improve my skills. ]]> 2019-03-22 22:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/344400162 day 3 - research clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/344402336 Today I have done my research padlet, and also speaking with musicians and therapist musician – the person who made therapy using music. Bruno, a musician who plays with sounds and some instruments, gave me some advice about what I want to do with music, because I was wanted to work with a existence music and try to remake it, using sounds. He told me, I must no to this, and maybe just use the music, and is best produce a new music, with sounds. He gave me references which has experiments with different sounds and putted together, and also transformed in graphics shapes, creating a language.

The therapist explain to me how work the therapy and why is so important to the humans. The sounds are relevant to the human body, how they work.

What parts are relevant in this process, where I can inspired myself, like the character design which he has a lot of inspirations from old artist, photograph, movies, characters. What was more interest and challenge me, was to take references from everywhere, not just in animations movies, can be from pieces, artists, people, much I can explore. Also I reflected, he's old, and just now he got he own styles, is for this, is so important drawn a lot and experiment different styles and traces, resulting which one translate my own language. What I think, is doesn't matter if the styles is more realistic or not, is important if represent more expressions and if the presentation - colours, design, aesthetic - is well done.
Of course Olivier's styles is amazing, but what made me think "thats guy is really good" is how complex is his process and how he resolves this process using drawings.
Today I made experiments with water colour and acrylic, in the same paper. I'm experiment because I told in the brief, I want to explore hand made with digital art. Real versus digital. I got inspiration from water colours, and I tried to do almost the same aesthetic. The acrylic, I think is important experiment something I used to, but in different aesthetics.
I liked the water colour results, because I can play more with the style I'm looking at, and the acrylic I feel I can't enjoy to much the painting because dry fast. And the pigment I can't control, and for this process, is important if I know to control the paint. But both experiments, made me realise what I have to do in futures experiments, what I have to consider in themes of composition.
Also this experimentations is to help me to be inspired in the process, explore what the material can give to me.
About the research padlet, I trying to do more primary research, what takes time to go to the research file, so I'm noting every evidence in my book. But for help me, is to start to write and think why this pieces are relevant.

]]> 2019-03-25 19:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/344983792 Day 6 - experimentation clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/345420725 I think this methods will help me, like a mission, every day make at least 5 analysis, what encourage me to explore other sources and talk with more people, what gave me more references, for example just today I talked with the tutor from print room, a person which I never image who can give a reference, and just today I got 3 more animator and experiments with different materials So is so useful because I challenge myself everyday.
Whats helps me to make more research is simple but helped, is when I go to the computers, and put a music which I can concentrate myself to research more, and now I noticed how music is in my life, I use when I need to be focus, I feel when I list musics, sounds, I´m in my own world where I can write about my process and interests, I spend many time just doing this. Just tapping my thoughts.
Something useful to still research is always find new people to speak about my project and go to visits, places, and produce new things, because always encourage me to look new sources.
For example today, where I was experiment a brush pen, chine ink and mono-type. I did´t know what I want to find, for example I was drawing different scenarios, characters, doing different skills, for see what the material can give me. So I remember my proposal and I ask to me, why I´m doing this, of course has the context of doing real things and mix with digital, but how can I do something mixed with music, and when I did mono-type, I start to listened instrumental and classics musics trying to translate and I´m hearing. But I forget to focus in the music, and the material gave me a lot of interests sources. When somehow the sound helped me to produce it, but not so emphatic in the process.
But I could reflected how the list music helps me to flows in my process.

]]> 2019-03-26 18:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/345420725 Day 7, 8 - Oil paint and Mood board clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/346355959 I have made some experiments using a specific instrumental playlist, out of my usual playlist, when I was producing experiments with oil paint, and somehow made me be more connected with the paint. For me oil paint, I consider as a battle between me and the frame, and how I can win the fight, if I can, the most hard part, where I experiment colours mix, textures, brushes, just to get the image I want. This playlist contribute with this battle, putting suspense sounds, with screen, I felt I was really in a battle. Making me reflect how the music can contribute with our feelings, how put emphasis in what I want to do.
For this process, I made at home because the suitcase with the oil, and the smell is really strong, the process needs concentrate, there`s the music make different.
The experiments, was focus in testing colours and textures, and I tried to do something for just to do, but the music put many sense in the paint.
In the afternoon, I drew some backgrounds I would like to use in this project, so I took images from the internet for be a reference and guide me. I experimented different perspectives points and angles. What was hard, because I don`t know yet where I can go with this backgrounds, but I tried to create different narratives inside the drawings.
So I started to write some narrative I have think, and reflect about angles and perspectives I want to explore with this narrative, what made me think I want to explore characters and design. So I decided to make the mood board to guide me in terms of aesthetics, and think what inspire me more, what could help me in terms of characters, and why I`m choosing it.
For finished, I decided to start the sound experiment with water colour, but I think I have more to do tomorrow, where I can research more different playlists. But today I decided to focus more in the music, what made me think about me and my life, deep thoughts. ]]> 2019-03-28 22:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/346355959 Developing mood board clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/346360081 2019-03-28 22:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/346360081 Day 9 - Reflection clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/347376383 The research critique made me realise how I'm worried about my research and how I make a lot of analysis , and how I forgot to put Harvard references . The feedback I received was merit, whats is good, but I think I wanted Distinction because how I make many analysis with autionomolys, but the merit is good to suggest me to don't stop to make more research and look to new references.
How I'm looking at musicality and forms to represent it with moves, and how music manipulate our emotions and feelings. So I'm researching music general, and styles, speaking with people about their relationship with music, and my idea is to explore everything to arrive in one idea that can represent my studies. So I need research that I can develop visually the music. I have done everything from my action plan, what helps me to develop my ideas and reflect about what I intend to do, and why. For example the all animation I wish to produce is a homage to my father, but also to catch the audience in themes of feeling and tell a story about a tear, because is how I can put all my studies into a one piece. The action plan give more time to make research and visits. I'm always try to put like a deadline in the day, what I need to have in the end of the day.
Today I made experimentation with water colour and music, my intentional was to listen the music and drawn. This experiment means what's flows when I don't think and try to represent it. First I listened soundtracks form movies, what was really relaxing, and gave me more flowing drawings. After I did the same but with Brazilian music, and I noticed how our styles is more happy and animated. This time I don't look at the paper and also changing the colour when change the music, gave me spontaneous graphics and I could identify the styles even don't looking. ]]> 2019-04-01 19:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/347376383 Day 10 - Story board clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/347384008 Today I decided to consider the questions the tutor told me to reflect about, for example about my audience, I wish my audience are the people connected with music somehow, I intend to make a homage to my father but also impact the audience with the music but more with the visual part. The emotion I want to explore is sadness, because I think sadness can be represented with a range of different emotions, is when we don't know what we can do in the situation, could be angry but in a different way. So for me sadness is when we can't say nothing, and I wish to explore this, because is hard to admit to myself I'm sad and normally I don't wanna be sad, but now I'm learning is ok feel sad.
I have to be worried in my audience and what to transmit, for me I don't want to inform but I wanna to transform something hardly into easy. Also worried about my proposal, with I'm going with it.
About what I want to work with, if is more abstract or figurative, so I decided I want use or mix both, because I believe the aesthetic is more easy to work with music and also, because is more softy in therms of shape. In my animations references I can see they work with more liquid aesthetic, so maybe I have to research why.
I decided the music will define the animation, but even this decision I felt a little insecurity, what made me speak with support tutor to help me this week in develop my work.

]]> 2019-04-01 20:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/347384008 Day 11 - character design clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/348496782 Today I made the smart target what I remember I had’t write everyday, mostly because I thought wasn’t so important for our process. But helped me a lot today to be more organise with my own time and what mainly aspects I have to be worry . For example I could calculate my time. When I was drawing possibles elements for the scenography , my tutor start to talk with me about artist reference which inspired a lot my project to challenge my goals. First I thought make music with pipes, because I told him I want use pipes for represent the sound, I mean using the pipes movement I can reproduce the sounds movements. This artist, Vanessa, she has made a installation with pipes, and this influences me to reflect how my project will be exposed because I wasn’t consider it. What made me realise how can I explore more the pipes, for example using it to produce the scenography, taking photos from the pipes, and design the paths with the real pipes. But I was a little confuse what could I do to challenge more and to take more attention from the audience in the exhibition . So I was lost I didn’t know what to reflect first. I keep going with my time, start to drawing the characters design, experimenting different designs with different aesthetics, and I choose 4 more favourites design to finally decide and explore them, using inspiration.

So I explained about my goals in this project, is mean I want to speak how we are connected with music and our emotions with music, so I decided to speak about sadness as emotion, also I told about what challenge I have to with me, and experiments, for example the pipes, and during the discussion we imagine what could be listed the music with the pipes, what put the Audience inside of my animation. Intense the integration between the music and the public, and also my animation. So in the afternoon I sketched how could be. ]]> 2019-04-04 14:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/348554621 Day 13 - visit to studio Terreo clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/349280849 I went to studio terreo, a stop-motion animation studio, where I could acess to all process to porduce the animations, was a great a opportunity to me, understand how is the start point of producing and how is end.
In the studio is split in 3 parts, first one is the film part, where has all scenography and the making of, for examlpes the cameras and spots. This part is amazing because is the result of every process, is the final outcome in process.
Also has the making part where stay the machines which make the body of the muppet, each part what was caculate really well, and the chief of the studio told us how work and how much is to make all this process, he gave good advices about calculate also. In the last part is the is the modelling, and I have the luck to see a muppet in process, with clay, what was interest how is make, using a drawn for reference, from the character. All this made me reflect how is the process to been in studios, how I´ll work in the future, and wich part I want to work with. But also made me understand the process of creating and methods to produce what they wish, for example they use garbage to make elements of the scenography or part of the muppets. I wished to ask more about the animate part, but ther animator weren´t there, so I couldn´t ask about animate with music, what method could I follow.
For the rest of the day, I was planning and drawing the first scenography, the bathrom, what made me realise how hard is this part because I need to think at leat 5 example of differents scenes, and camera, position, which part I could explore, for this I needed to chose a a model which I can explore all room.
After I can make one, and tomorrow I wish to paint all perspectives from this scenography.]]> 2019-04-07 18:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/349280849 Day 14 - Producing scenography clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/349305942 Today I make the scketchs from the bathrom scene, using water color, where I could drawn differents position from the same place, zoom scenes, and after I could painting with water colour, testin pallets colours, a difficult problem to result because I need to think about how the colours can help me to affect the public, and the meaning behind of the colours, for example the green from my character, is harmony in the music. So after made some experiments with differents pallets, I decided to the one I have done with orange and more hot colours, and a I realise this colours are alarming, also war colours, a caotic scene happens. ]]> 2019-04-07 21:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/349305942 Day 15 clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/349720910 In the crit, I could know how everyone’s works and process, what I noticed how I’m worried about experiments - witch I did a lot - because I wanted to explore all skills to after make a decision , so I reflect I lose the focus in the all concepts and art director, so I need to make decisions about the all animation style. Something really important in this crit was the decision about my scenography, if I take photos from the pipes or I drawn them, because I’m using water colour as an aesthetic, so I should going with the same aesthetic, to not be confused and also for the harmony. Also I need to reflect about a instrument who is made by pipe, and the guys reproduce the sound, remaking musics, what influences me to be concern how I’ll transmit the sound into the pipes.

About the achievement, I think the most thing was experimental process because I did a lot what helped me to clarify my ideas and my intentions. I need to improve my aesthetics, because I should reflect the colours, and the meaning behind.

]]> 2019-04-08 21:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/349720910 Day 16 - Transforming music into visual clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/350194593 I started the day with the idea to just listen the music by father, and after start to sketch and paint the scenography. But when I was listening the music, I couldn’t put in some software or apps, because the document was so big. So I decided to make my own translation, with out a software who show the sounds waves and just try to listen the music and somehow creat graphics what can guides me to the produce the movements in the animation/character, also to understand the timing, what’s mean how is gonna be each scene, how much time will take. For this, I listened the music and I tried to figured how many parts the music has, and how it changes, what’s instrument are more loud or Coust more time. So I did the first sketch, just to see the timing and the movements, with out count the pauses. When I saw I have my own system, with suititle, what requires me doing differents movements transalating the cordes.
So I notice, the music has 7 different aspects, each one has differents tons and the instruments change the sound sometime, but they have a pattern, which repeats all the time, and I noticed pauses, so I decided to make curves and count it, to try to translate to the pipes. So after creat this all system I ask how I will translate into pipes? Well,counting the pause between the sounds, I decided the pauses will be the curves of the pipes, and the tubes will be the sounds, and depending the size of the piper, it’s mean they have the same longer than the sounds.
After this all process, where I could count the scenes and organise a pipes system, and how, I decided to check up if is right. For example I putted the music in premier software after my friend copy the music, so there I could count the waves and the corresponding with my counting and system. Today even if I didn’t finish the scenario I’m great because I could answer my question, how can I translate music into visual? Creating a system is just a part of it. ]]> 2019-04-10 02:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/350194593 Day 17 - process clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/350627676 After made the all system with subtitles I decided to create a formula to guide me how to drawn the pipes, I’m mean, the sounds are the pipes, the pause is the curves, and the timing is the same size of the pipe, but I do no create the size, I made this to determinate when the sound s more long the pipe should be more longe too. To help me and the public to get the idea of the music time. So I listened the music more times, this process is hardly and a little mad, I have to always be careful with the pauses, how i’m Counting and how sure i’m, even what I’m doing is so intuitive. Because I need to express the music somehow but not so clear for the audience. Creating the pipes system, the most hard was to creat everything together and count , but I got it. Just for sure I listened the part at least 5 times. After this process, what takes to much time I could start to produce the scenography, and think about the colours pallets, doing experiments with water colour.
What I can conclude is how this process is fling my time, what made me more late about producing the pipes. Or make more experiementS, also my research, I feel really late. But is fine, because I could finally answer my question.
Another absoveration, was how I drew the pipes, after made the sketch I had to creat another resolution to make a scenography wich can represent the all movements. For this Ihad to study pipes inside buildings, so I decided to first, drawn the mainlys pipes, the parth. After I putted some ellements to emphasise this is inside somewhere. ]]> 2019-04-11 03:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/350627676 Day 18 - Visit to Luciana´s studio clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/351381264 I went to an artist studio, Luciana, who work with oil painting and abstract figures. Her process is amazing, first at all she has collection of shoes, painting of shoes, many of them, she passed 8 years paiting them. But when she explaiing her work, she talks about music and how her pieces are noising, a mix of differents sounds, She meet herself in this pieces, exploring dark mood, but don´t means she is sad or dark, in fact she´s really happy with her mood, what´s mean it´s fine be strange for the public. After she explaned to me when she was doing a residence, where her tutor told her to produce a music, even if she don´t know how, but everything came from a poetry from her father. I´m really identify at her pieces, how she translate sound into her painting, and the connection with her father. Of course she got a unusual result and totally different than me, but I think is important has differents styles to look, to understand the mine in the end. Also she explained the music process, she tooking sound from places, and creating new sound start to her voice.
Well in the end of the visit, I explained what I want to do, about my all process, what was good because she gave me more references and new artits to contact, for example an artists who made a animation with his paintings, and another artists who work with pipes and music.
In the end of the day I went to Ebac to choose the colours pallets for the paintings, and I could finish all them. ]]> 2019-04-13 14:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/351381264 Day 19 clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/351384889 After this 4 week of experiments, the mostly important thing, which I´m really proud, is I can answer my question, it´s I can transform music into visually. Because I created the transalation of sound to visual, like the formula. This for week, helped me to understand everything about music production process, emotion and humans and also another areas wich I can explore. I asked to myself why I want so much make an animation, It´s because I believe animation is a result of many differents studys.
The area I need to impor]]> 2019-04-13 15:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/351384889 15th- 18th clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/353108439 At this week, started with a talk with Ricardo, I could speak about my ideas for the exhibition, which I´m thinking to put pipes to give a almost synesthesia experience, and we conclude 3 differents options what I have to reflect each one is better and able to produce, so we found a solution, but before I should make experiments with pipes, and after make a sketch couting how many pipes, and how much I´ll pay.
In the tutorial, I was really happy about my feedback, because I always good be reconized for my effort. But I do think I still have a lot thing to improve, because I know I can do more, to end the foundation with more autonomy, and I feel a litle nervous, because the next week will be the making part, and at this week I´ll see what I need to improve and how, also I will have a vision of my animation, and in the other side, I have to be really careful with my time management, because even If I have a good resolving problem, is the make time, I´ll see if is going well.
For the indepent days, I take to make more experiments with pipes, I went to my homeland (Teresina) where I could speak with my father, my startpoint research, and I had to explain about my ideas and explain what I intent to do, with out say I´m working with his music, and also he made me a proposal, to play in the exhibiton day, what I didn´t consider yet, because I have to plan how this gonna be. But in the experiments with my father I could understand how each musician works, and how the connection between them, when they are playng. Because I went to essays, and concerts, what made me realize how music is source of happines to them. In the other day, I could make a experiment with differents pipes, one of PVC and metal, he was plaiyng in this process. The sound was differents because the sound gos to everywhere, so I decided to record the music and see how is by the cell phone into the pipes, and sound is much better and produce a different and more interest sound by the metal pipe, the pvc works, but the metal was better.
Conclusing, the metal pipes is better, but I have to go in material stores to analyse the price, and if the sound outs of somewhere is better than in real concert.
To end this week, I talked with a my father´s friends, he is a neurosurgeon, I made a interview with him, to undertand more about the music in the brain, and how this effects us brains. Because even if I have a lot of information tooked by internet, I think I better talk with someone who study this. In the interview he explain, is not the music who work in all sides of the braind, but sound in general.

Some studentes remeber me in the beginning of the course, doesnt undertand why the process is so important, than what really metter is the final piece, but for me, in the foundation course, which is based in evidence, I could understand, why process is so important for our improvements. So I do think was helpful because made me reflect what could I do to improve, for example I made a mind list with thing I should be more worried, everyday. Also I already demande a study support tomorow with Carlos, because even if I know what I have to do, I think is always good has another feedback and some tips to help me.
The missions, I wish complete the missions putting them on my action plan, for example at this week, at friday I want at least produce a prototype of the exhibition, to give me some vision of how is gonna be. So I think changes my action plan, to always manage my time, between doing everything I need to do and bonus things which would be interesting not just to have the disctition criteria but for me and my own time.
I think the research is one the mainly part, more important than reflection, but not than the project book, because the research is where all my ideas came from, where I got inspired to produce my final outcome, is there where my ideas are created and how can I use my reference. The project book is more important because I can see my own evidences, what was relevant to me in the process and why. The reflection of course is really important to know myself, but I do think I put all this at my project book, because is evidence of my process.

Improve, for example about my research, since i’m working with homage, I should research more about artist who made homages, or people who made homages, and more artistis who made a specific topic which is relate to my project. Also about my action plan, to put more highlights and make more notes, and in the end of the week I should made a report what was interesting or what should I improve in the next week.
About my process, I started to animate, was going well, first I scanner the scenography, and after drawn the character, with the music, what was nice is in the Toom boom software, it gave me the waves sounds, like this I can work more well with the music, this will help me a lot.
In the end of the day, when I was saving, the pc had a serious problem, a buggy, which deleted part of my animation, and wasn’t because I didn’t save. But tomorrow i’ll Buy the drive for be ready if has another problem.

I´m really stressful, because I changed of pc at least 3 times, what means the problem is the software, and ok could change of software, but I really want to use toom boom because it´s the best one of animation, I have the all brushs I want, and also I can make more. But at now, I´m just to struggle and I can produce nothing, what made me really frustated.

In the end of this day, I could notice how angry I was, but after this reflection, I could produce more on my animation, and made me reflect I have to scanner all scenography to continue to animate.]]> 2019-04-25 17:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/354218915 26th april - reflect about the next days clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/354700003 When I finished to animate the parts of my animation which I loose in previous days I could complete my action plan of the week, because now the guys of the resource center helped to me, and now even if the pc buggys, I have a drive to no lost my production, so I can produce more in the nexts day, and also I could take the routine of how is animate. Also I could talk with Marcelo about my exhibition proposal, to what thing I shoul be more concerned in this process.
To theses next week, I know I much time I´ll spent just animating, what gave me advantages to my time manage, for example now I can have more time to reflect about my exhibition and make more research. Because I know how I produce and time of this process.
Today helped to calculate a little what criterias I have always be concern.]]> 2019-04-27 18:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/354700003 30th april - Proposal clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/355208138 In the exhibition proposal I tried to be more clear possible, for example explain why is so important to have more the one wall because of the acoustic, and also about the risk assessment I tried to explain what measure I have to take to me and my assistent and also manage my time to think about how fixed the things into the wall.
I think the hanging I putted in the proposal was the best one for the project, but of course I can changed my mind. It´s just that hanging is better in thermes of aesthetic and solving problems, but of course I have more plans bs.
In case my first choice of space is not possible, the other ones will not require significant changes on the hanging system.]]> 2019-04-29 20:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/355208138 03th may - one to one clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/356858351 My project book is going well, but I do not think is ready to the crit, because in theses week I didn´t produce in the project book because I started to produce and make the animation, so I spent more time doing the animation than resolving problems, but of course all the time the project book is with me because I need a reference to look at, and is there I have all my theores and where look at, the drawings, and movements, and how should I animate, also for the parts where I took importants decisions, for example if the lines are more straings or more abstracts, I note in the project book, to after put this there. But since The print is not there, I can´t make this in the moment when I´m producing. I can improve it with using more, I want to use it more in the next week to solve problems for the exhibition proposal.
Now I fell more confident about my time because I finally arrived in the mainly scene of the animation, where the systems has be used, and it´s working. So my time in the action plan I hope will work, but something really relevant about my process, and how I work, it´s I can´t focus in two differents things at the same time because I fell stressfull and nervous, so for my own psychological good, it´s better if I focus where I think is more important to me and to my project.
So first I want to be focus just in the animation process, and after in the exhibition problems, and I take that risk to be wrong.
After talked with Lauren about my process, made me more worreid about the exhbition choices, for example how many pipes I wish to use, and where I will buy. Also was good the speak because I have more research to do.

In the animation, I noticed how is fast and how changed the shape, but I liked this consequece because tells about the music and my proposal, which is speak about frustanting and fast fellings, and the music explain this itself, but with the drawing is more possible understand that.

For to be more careful about my process and if I have be clear. When I gave his feedback, for me was more easy to make because I could se evidence and where he should improve. What made me noticed how I have changed because I do think I’m always make crit for my own, and I already know where I have to improve, and also I know where he have to improve, so I can see how autonomously I have now in comparative in the begging of the course.

About my process, I finished the first scene where the creature shows up, but in the middle I thought was something wrongs with him, even if he’s connected with the music, I thought has a problem with the movements what don’t catch attention and his not harmonious to the eyes. So I could understand, I have made a design where the character is never straight and he’s was designed to use curves and moves in curves movements- with the music. So I could see that, even if I’m using my own system and theory, the drawings movements is essential to follow the music .

I don´t know about the power source, and I´m also really stressful if is gonna work.
At the space the challenge is if I can achieve my goal at the space and I explore everything I want to, what need the box with the pipes, because the rest is more easy, I mean with out the pipes, my work will not be complete, what means is gonna just a television, and I´m struggle about this all process.
I think my proposal was clear about the space I use, but I wans´t clear about why is need a close space, because of the sound, the essential part of my project. I need to finish my animation more fast I can, but don´t mean make anything, and maybe look for a supplier, somenone to produce the box with pipes, and also be careful with the print which I didn´t produce yet because I´m to focus in the animation.]]> 2019-05-10 00:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/358715018 8&9th may - producing clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/358717110 Theses days I was focus in produce mainly scene of the animation, and now I have already 1:26 minutes at my animation what is missing 54 second to finish, during this process I could understant how difficul is work with music, even if my measures and my plan, everythings changes during this process. For example, I lose the timing of the music, what changes everythings because I need to be careful with the waves curves and if the character is doing movements similars thant that. When I could noticed I lose the timing with the frames, for example, when I finished to produce a scene, I watch with the music and see with is following, and sometimes I lose sme frames, or is to fast, so I edit deletes frames or adding. Is hard process because if I lose one frame, changes everything, and I need to listen the music at leats 10 times, just in the part I´m producing .
Also I couldn´t manage my time to produce the print. But I try found solutions to my time manage what became hard to decide. ]]> 2019-05-10 01:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/358717110 10th may - crit proposal clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/359739009 In the crit I could talk about my concerns and solutions. About the exhibition the tutor could help me with advices where I shoul take more attention, for example how I’m gonna do the box since I’m not having more time and more problems to resolve, the best solutions is to look at suppliers, so next week I want speak with someone about that , having all measures - from the speaker, pipes and television, which I did already. As missions I have to decide and produce a experiment with pipes, and finally decide which pipe I will use, if is reuse or buy, but independently the pipes must have 4 cm of weight, because of the size of the box to be fixed in the television.
About th animation and content, I do think is going well but I wish finish to make the frame at least Monday, what means I have to still produce at Saturday to win more time. Because after has to paint and correct something. Problem I having got is the time mAnage and the project book where I couldn’t touch, because I’m to focus in producing. ]]> 2019-05-14 03:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/359739009 13th may - time clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/359740707 Today I realised how struggle I’m with my own time, because I have lose my time doing the production, a part where I feels I can’t control the action plan and what will happen, because of the process of producing, I’m good in the resolving problems even if I don’t follow the plan . Fortunately since I have been animating last Saturday, wich was interesting because I was to focus in animate the girl with more details and expression. Today I could finish the all animation, the frames with the movement following the music, so is done and now is missing paiting. At this phase I felt more confidence with the animation and I can be more focus in the exhibition proposal. ]]> 2019-05-14 03:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/359740707 14 th may - clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/361142522 Now I’m in the colouring animation phase, where I’ve created a new layer and paint with the colour pallet I’ve created, first I started with the girl, which requires more details, so I decided to paint and after select the colours and copy, paste in the other frame, so I can just edit the parts which is need. I do think I’m going well in themes of animation process, even if I’m notting using the project books to calculate my solving problems, I think this process now requires more attention, because is the editing part, where we see the well finish. To facility my work I decided to look at a supplier, for example the morning I went to the supplier to produce the wood box for the speaker, and was easy to speak about, but I was really upset because I spent my morning in this process where I could be in the meeting with my assistant to explain what we will do in the next week. If I have one more week I wish to focus in the exhibition proposal, where I can produce on my own box, and produce the pipes, but I have to buy them. Also more time to organise myself in the animation, editing the camera, which part I don’t know I can do.

I’m took screen shots do documenting my decision and in the end I can evidence in the project book. I’m notting reflecting that well, because I know when I’m, is when I’m using the project book and reflect each act and decision I takes.

I went to the supplier to explain better the box making, and also see the price, which is not to much, but I try every time to reuse objects, so I asked to friend for box where I can put the speaker and make holes, and a friend of mine as one, but the box in more bigger than I planned, but I’ll not spent money on this whats help myself a lot. Also I search for pipes and choose which pipe use, and I found the pipe i want in the perfect size but is more expensive, what’s ok because my all outcome don’t need to much money. So I decided to continue with the pipes I wanted, now I Have to buy wires and end the box process. Also finish the animation .]]> 2019-05-17 12:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/361143023 Last make week - 20th to 24th clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/361428007 In the last week, after finally finished my animation, I was more focus in the exhibition proposal, and also producing the prints for the box set. But I got problems with the supplier who did wrong what I´ve asked and a finished the prints at tuesday. In theses days I felt really struggle, and I understand why, but also a reason for this´s how I lose my focus in try to always find a solutions in my problems.
For exemple, if I´ve look at the supplier more soon and produced the box set before, I was more focus in finish my all process, try to organize better my own time in the project book, and continue research and reflect. But since the first week of production, where I lose 3 days of production, this put me in a position where I couldn´t manage my own work. At theses week, I understand I what I could do better in the next time. First, always organise my time and also create a piece where I can be more confident but also I can explore new skills, because this is the challenge I got at this part.
But continue speak about the exhibtion, because everythings wasn´t as I planned so I needed to reflect in new solutions,. At first I think about to take a wood box and ask to Ricardo to cut some holes to fix the pipes in. When I realized I got stuck because I couldn´t produce the holes alone, I asked one tutor to help me and what can I do to have my proposal, which is people listen the animation music by the pipes. After made a range of solutions, we think in 2 mainly and possibles solutions, but depends the size of the television first. So the second one is to produce a different box where I can put the speaker inside. Second and mainly, is the wall bee the speaker, for this I´ve to find a speak which can be fix inside of the wall, - I asked a friend who might have one - and after put the speaker inside, cut holes in the wall where we can fixed the pipes. This is can be the better and possible solution because go with the aesthetic and people can listen the music, but also attracts people to the watch it.
To conclude, about the document, which I didn´t start yet, but I reflected about everythings at this process. I could notice how my work changed a little and how my mind changes also.]]> 2019-05-18 21:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/361428007 17th may - last day of studio clara_costa https://padlet.com/clara_costa/4dgppll85vvq/wish/361428008 In the next week I'll be producing at the labs, because I need use the pc to finish to colouring my animation. At the same time I want be in the print room cutting my pipes and trying to fixed it to the box. I do think I have everything I need for be ready for the exhibition, a pc to continue and material at the print room.
I think I'm doing sastfactory, because if was well I have the project book in progress and also bout time because I'm using saturday as produce day, where I can develop more futher and achieve to finish the scene more fast and calm.
For the installation I need the wood box with the pipes ready, what is going well since I have a supplier to help me to manage my time, so now is missing end to buy the pipes and cut them. I'll need my assistent and Marcelo's feedback to help me in the intallation process.
