clara_costa — 2019-02-15 01:13:32 UTC

She´s a foudantion student, my friend. And she made this work from a briefing, which was "the book" where they have to creat another piece inspired on a book. She challenge herself to make cutting on a book, making her face, and her dad´s faces. The book is a old art book, about great paints. The idea was make a gift to her father, to him accept she is doing art students.
And this made me think this project now, is to my mother, a gift, or a simple way to her, accept I´m growing up and I love live in differents place, mostly big citys, and I don´t wanna go back to home anymore, I think this outcome is a good representation, I want she llok at and undertand more easy my choices´s life.

Lau told me I could have permission to take this photo and speak about her piece.

Sleeping Beauty

clara_costa — 2019-03-21 17:04:48 UTC

This animation was inspired in the opera and the play, a revolution, creating a new piece using drawings, and exploring the music. Walt Disney always liked to use music in all films. Is the most important addition that will be made to the picture. It can do more to bring a production to life, to gibe integrity, style, emphasis, meaning, and unity that any other single ingredient.
In the battle scene, where has a battle between the dragon (maleficent) and the prince, the music is really loud, the idea was to represent the scene with no dance or sing, but the music put emphasis in the all battle. This scene influence myself, because is a good example of represent a music but with out gesture, just the drawings, couldn't stop. They have to move, mainly the prince, he had to flows with the sounds. And also we can see a climax when the lightrin make the same sound of the music.
Maleficent was designed to be softy, elegant, do gestures with calm. Making a connection with the dragon, who the design was made like a snake , with the intentional to be almost a dance.
So I can reflect, each character has different design, thinking with the music. Connecting two worlds. the hearing and the vision.
The music influences, in the concept also, which was design inspired in the France churches, and the colours

Fantasia 2000

clara_costa — 2019-03-21 17:52:02 UTC

Fantasia is a exemple of representation of music, using animation as skill. The studio has created different narratives, with unusual characters and contexts, just been inspired for the musics. This piece influence me, because is a classic which I have watched my all life, and didn’t know why causes me the feeling of relaxing and reflecting, the classics styles, could be always used, and can creates new concepts inside, is a diversity world. Creativity don’t have limitation in this piece.

And I can analysed how they explore the sound to make emphasis scenes, for example, when the music has a big sound, which created attention to the hears, they put some big gestures to flows with it, and the visual has the same intensity.
Analysing those narratives:
The Nutcracker, by Russian Tchaikovsky. For the film, the designers decided to depart from the obvious and created a representation of the seasons using fairies, flowers, mushrooms, fish - it's one of the parties visually beautiful film, and more like a choreography.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice, created by Paul Dukas and inspired by a poem by Goethe, the excerpt shows Mickey in the role of a sorcerer's apprentice who wants to learn the tricks of his master ahead of time.
Curiosity:

was the first movie ever to be released in surround sound, because Walt Disney was keen that the movie audience could feel like there was a movie orchestra playing live

Psycho

clara_costa — 2019-03-21 18:33:16 UTC

In the bathroom scene, where Norman Bates, kill the probably mainly character , inspired to me accomplish how the music made the public be more scary about the killer. Also the camera shoots, was reflective to take angles, where we can feel we are in the character eyes, even with fast shots, and no details part, we can understand
what's the goal, a murder.
The music, is not really a music, is more repetitive sounds, like screams. This movies had revolt the history of cinema, which, a experimentation, where Hitchcook liked to manipulate the audience using not just the sounds - what causes more intensity with the viewers - but also, the mini details, like, the water from the showers, going to the camera, but the camera still dry. Or the blood, the movies is a black and withe aesthetic, he didn't need to show, but for put more emphasis, the black colour, it's possible understand more the scene.

Ty-ETÊ

clara_costa — 2019-03-21 19:42:53 UTC

This animation is about the river em Sao Paulo, which is really polluted river. And the musicality is predominately, and I have talk with the screenwriter's students, he told me, the screenwriter wrote this history in homage to river, and he believes in ancient history, where he made a ritual with the Indian tribes, who have told him, that in his previous life, he was being drowned by the river. All sounds used in the animation came from the rituals, the river mixed with city's sounds. He make a piece not just for him and the connection with the river, but also to Sao Paulo be more careful with the river. This animation was created by the sounds, and has the connection with the screenwriter history. Made me reflect what connection I have to do in my outcome, how they will be connected, sound and vision, and about me.

Moon

clara_costa — 2019-03-21 20:31:56 UTC

This animation was made by paper, the methods was with layers, and took the lines to pretend be the subway window, and gave the idea the landscape is passing. I liked how they created this landscape, using paper and shapes, really easy to, I like because represent the minimalism, and showed a narrative. A random narrative, where someone could be travelling to somewhere, and has a context with the music. The video was asked to the music compositor, so is representation where we can list the music, and reflect about our narrative. The directions we are chosen.

Moonlight

clara_costa — 2019-03-21 21:27:50 UTC

Moonlight is a classic example of a good perspective about sound and angles. The director always think about the idea he wants to transmits with the images. In the swimming scene, is my favourite one, where the mainly character is swimming with his friend. At that scene, the camera is to close, almost in the water, gave the idea we are inside of the water looking at them, and the classic music is used to represent is a self moment to the character, where he's growing up to next chapter, as baptism in the water. This scene influence me, because the actors are representing the music, just acting, no dancings. They are putting us, into the scene, feeling ready to next scene.

Whiplash

clara_costa — 2019-03-24 21:55:36 UTC

Whiplash is a unusual and agonizing movie, where the viewers can´t stop to look at, addictive, we wish to know what´s gonna happen, and why the music is so strong in this film.
First at all, is about a musician student who wish to be the best musicain , he and his tutor are looking at to the perfection. At figth not just with the tutor, but him. The film is about music, and how can be demanfding, mainly jazz, a style who has huges rules. And the all films is passing with in round of 3 music, but is exploring it, in details bits, like in the link scene, where the drummers aren´t find the perfect timming with music, and the music is loud and repetitive, putting emphasis in the tension and pressure from the teatcher. Almost madness, and breaking, bleeding the hands.
This movie tells about not just the music, put the artist pressure. We are always try to find the perfection, the comfort zone, but is almost crazy to look at this.
About the music, which is more instrumental, but so penetrating in the audience, stimulating the viewers anxiety but also desire.

Cavalo Serpente Cd

clara_costa — 2019-03-25 02:19:52 UTC

I had talk with Bruno, a musican from one group who plays with music and space. But i did this personal primary research, whichi he showed at me this CD, when he was experiments strigns instruments, and he started to produce music and inveted a friend to help to finish the composition and record this to tranforme into a CD. Their process is really experimental, they liked to analyze which instrument is best to the music, and what sound could improve the all compostion. They took sounds from Cicada insents, flutes from vietnam, and sounds from places. In the end of the project, invented two illustrators to make the cd design, and they listened the music when produced the drawings.
Now a student from theater had listened, and he´s producing a play for try to transalate the musics.
This cd influenced me because tells about the process of music maker, and how music touch the people, with sounds from animals, rains, nature. Inspiring what could I experimet.

Norman McLaren

clara_costa — 2019-03-25 02:47:19 UTC

Norman was a famous animator, a icon to the animation world. He played with ilusion, shapes, and mostly with music. In this videos he´s representing sounds, creating shapes with textures, and put connection with the sounds. Creating unusual narratives, where the audience can create the context, for example to me, is about a ball who learned to walk, and lines who learned to dance.

Reator

clara_costa — 2019-03-25 03:00:56 UTC

The reator, a experience suggested by Carlos, in VAO, a cultural space, and also artists studio. The reator promotes a experience with instrumental music - a already experimental process, sounds mix, from places, people, talks, and unusual instruments - where i list the music, when I'm drawing something, also experimenting a different material, exploring a new skill. Something interest, is how in the experience we are detach from drawings, collages, paints we made, because another person can arrive doing something inside the previous drawings. Also the range of material, material which are almost finishing, and we enjoy this end part.
This project, made me realise what I was doing, was primary research, because I'm listening to a music and the same time paint something, even if I do not want to represent the music, the music go to my mind using my movements unconscious, and representing what I feel or intepreted.

MIS - Quadrinhos exhibition

clara_costa — 2019-03-25 19:01:47 UTC

I went to MIS - Museu da imagem e do som. The exhibition is about the comics, how their influence our life, and reports our contexts we are living.
The exhibition itself, is really full by comics informations, but the more interest is how was the curator, amazing thinking and intereactive with the public. Made the public always not just read what is about which comic, but how is the process, and the beauty inside the produce parts. It´s like a homage to the artists and writers. But for me, a reader of comics, the best part is to read the comics and appreciates the drawings. I think, the exhibition is amazing for those who don´t know the comics so well, for me was really nice, but I wished see more about process, how they were inspired to produce thte storytellings, character desing.
Sometime we have this part, but is more interest if we read every comic in the place.
But in thermes of hanging or how was displaied, is to good, and causing us more desire to read more and know another writers.

The therapist talk

clara_costa — 2019-03-25 19:44:11 UTC

I have to talk with a therapist who work with music therapy and explained to me how is .
The Muci therapy study the relation between the humans and music. Since long time ago, for example the egyptians, used sounds waves to help woman in the baby birth.
The musisc effects the mood in humans, how they gonna think or see the life. Is to hill the humans, changes their mood.
Represeting or reporting people lifes, the culture, with movements.
What made me reflect about how animation is connected, because the animation history star when humans were curious about humans movements, where we are always doing something, walking, the animation is also a movement study.
The hearing was the first sense be developed and also is the last to turn off and we die.
The therapy start when doctor took attentions to sick soldiers hilling more fast with music. No just changing and improve the body, but also the mind and mood.
The music helps people to have a better abnormal heartbeat.
The therapy is used sounds to help the client to hill some part form the brain.

LeitMotiv

clara_costa — 2019-03-26 01:01:50 UTC

Leitmotiv, in music, consists of the use of one or more themes that are repeated whenever an opera passage related to a character or subject is staged.
Is used in films to regularize the mood when the character shows.
In films muscic are manipulated to have a audience answer. Helping what sensation or feeling wants to transmits.
Exists two sounds,
The greater mode and minor mode, which is used to know what feeling wants to transmits.
The films borned by the music.

Autumn Chiu

clara_costa — 2019-03-26 01:11:53 UTC

She an artist who use water colour to make her pieces. She creates many character with different narratives, misterious and darkness, but also so attractive. I think is because the way she plays with the gradient, with more cold colours, what made me be more relax, the creatures or character she creates with out face, made me be inspired and ask to me, what she try to transmits with? Also my favourits part is when she play with layers, water colours layers, exploring deep the water colour skill. She inspire me, to understand doens´t matter if the mood is dark, the viewers has their interpretation and the mine is calm and peaceful,
So I was so curious than I needed to talk with her, where she got inspirations. She told me her ideas come from her emotions/dayle life. She work at home and spend a lot of time alone, what made to her has a time just know more herself. Loneliness play a big role in her art. As does relationships between people space and darkness. She use water colours because flows and how she transparent it can be.
What I realise, loneliness can be useful for me and my knowledge

Olivier Tossan

clara_costa — 2019-03-26 01:52:18 UTC

Olivier is an visual and concepts artist, who works developing ideas and aesthetic to films.
He work at Draemworlds and Blue Sky.
The Olivier's lectures guides me to understand how work and what responsibilities we have to consider in the concept process from animations, or anything. 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.

Man in the frame

clara_costa — 2019-03-26 19:22:22 UTC

this animation about capitalism life style. Represented by man in frames, how life works based on our work.
But this animations has a unusual skill for the time, a mix with collages, but what draws my attention is how the animation with no dialogue can express feelings or actions for example when the character is moving the arms and the head with the mouth, but don't have any world, we can assumed he's making a speech. Also how the music influences this process.
Influence me because music can represent/express, but I have to consider how I'll do with no dialogue or words.

Studio Visit - Arthur

clara_costa — 2019-03-26 19:33:07 UTC

I went to this studio of 4 artists, a not big space, but amazing how the artist resolved this space problem well.
Arthur Ranold decided to leave for abstract experiences after a curious fact in his atelier.
In addition to the human agglomerations, the "masses" of the title also gained a translation in Arnold's own technique, which left aside the brush to create images full of oil paint overlays.
I liked how he play with city context and try to represent it with oil, but not painting, but with the shapes and ink mass. What I liked more, is how he resolves problems, for example he made a little example with not to much ink, for not wast the ink, since he work a lot with It.
And his table represent how we make the mixing colour.

Malaria

clara_costa — 2019-03-26 20:00:27 UTC

I think this animation is really important in my influences, which inspired me, I can work with animation and explore different techniques, using different skills.
Malaria is Brazilian animation about the death, using drawings - like story board drawings - with sounds and effects, the fire, the zoom, the dialogue. The all animation is how another material can be explored.
And the animation is not frame by frame, but catch the viewers attentions

Birdo is one of the most prolific creative studios in Brazil. They produce many animation exploring different skills. For example this one, the like to mix real backgrounds with digital character, what I'm kind interest, because I like to create a connection between the place and the narrative, it's mean I develop a context inside somewhere. Creating a narrative, when I look to places, I think this give a new concept for lonely places, and brings values to me.

The exposition at IMS(sp), it’s about the photographer Claudia Andujar, who was dedicated to the people of Yanomami. In the exposition we can see a lot of portraits represents the people life, and she take pictures with no artificial light what’s make he work more interesting because which photo she has student different lights, and angles to represent them in the best way. She’s a activist photographer, her intentional was to shows how is this people make to survive, telling about Brazil problem, the demarcation and the military’s problems. Who don’t respect this people.
The photos are amazing, the way the exposition in displayed looks like screen, like tv. And the mostly photo are in Black and White, but those wich are colourful, are great, because the landscape is already beautiful and she got the perfect light and colour.
In the end, has a big room where has displayed some screen where the photos pass with the same rhythm of the sound, as a show. This is a good reference to take attention, like to think about the music and the photos with the music. Also the screen and how was projected, how they did to have the perfect size.

Tito And the birds

clara_costa — 2019-03-27 21:41:09 UTC

This a Brazilian animation which inspire myself, first because is Brazilian and make me think which studio I could visit someday, and how is their aesthetic and all they work with. If I want continue living in Brazil doing animations, and this movie is really experimental with acrylic and the aesthetic is unusual where they are not really worried if is realistic, but with is harmonic with the aesthetic of work with acrylic. The idea of the movie is not about be realistic but take values to another styles. Like me, I want to work with coar textures.
Also the story, about fear and desires. The animation has a critique about the politic in Brazil, but more fantasy for the kids. Is sad how the Brazilians
don't go watch this piece.

Lava Lamp Playlist

clara_costa — 2019-03-27 21:43:35 UTC

This Playlist I have used 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.

Inside Out

clara_costa — 2019-04-01 20:39:51 UTC

This movie was impacting in this time, when the mainly topic in my homeland was depression and how this is a desire. Inside out is about a young girl who is obligated to move out from her city to a new one, where she don't have friends or establishment . The climax start when she can't express herself or speak about her, because she is to sad but don't wanna disturb her parents. This movie touch me because we say is kid movie, but is more Than this, is about depression and whats happened when we don't express ourself, losing our mind. This movie inspired me to understand about my emotions and why is so important to express myself somehow, for example using art. Also this movie represent the emotions in character what became more amazing.

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.

Luciana´s Studio

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.

Sen to Oto

clara_costa — 2019-04-13 17:50:40 UTC

This animation made by a Brazilian friend of a tutor, who did this animation with chine Ink and string´s sounds, he creates this graphics, lines, shapes, to represent the music. What inspire me to create my own system with my own language, creating my formula. Because we can note in the animation, depeding the sound, or corde, the graphic changes, for example, if the chorde is major, the line is more black and bold. If the sound continues, the line creates a differents graphics together.

How does music affect yout brains

clara_costa — 2019-04-13 18:12:39 UTC

This video explore more scientific part how music affect us, and our lifes.
In resume, this videos explain the music is so important to us, because explore more than one part of the brain, at least 6 parts, just when we are hearing, what make the humans develop and practice differents areas of brain structures, changing everytime when we listen to a music. They made research with musicians, and how they are moving this structures when they creates somehting new. Or a kid, how that kid change, I mean the behavior in the future, the brain.

Synesthesia is a rare neurological condition that leads stimulation in one sensory pathway to trigger an experience in another. Basically, a short-circuiting in the brain that enables such strange phenomena like perceiving letters and numbers as inherently colored (color-graphemic synesthesia) or hearing sounds in response to visual motion. More than 60 types of synesthesia have been identified, with one of the most common being the cross-sensory experience of color and sound — “hearing” color or “seeing” music.

These neurological eccentricities, however, can often be a source of tremendous artistic inspiration. Today, we look at three mesmerizing near-synesthetic ways of experiencing sound and color.

This artist creats the animation to represent how she sees music and sounds, because she tells when she´s listen to a music, she see this shapews and differents colours, a synesthesia experience. What inspire me more in her work is how she creats her own system to identify the music, in the site we can see the sketchs, how se has planned to represent, and how she resolve this gaphics resulting in a narrative, what I really intend to do.
I can see in the process she has calculate the music, listening the pauses, timing, a good method to understand, with out sound waves.What could helps me to manage my time, to my process flows.

Stephen created this software to produce graphic from musics, he has a system which explain the music and whats happens in the music by the graphics, for this it has subtitles to identify. This helped me to understand what could I do transalate music into visually, if I can creat my own system. Inspired by humans movements.

The sound of Taste

clara_costa — 2019-04-13 19:02:56 UTC

This amazing video is an evidence of synesthesia, when we mix not just the hearing but also the flavour, a connection, is an example of nostalgic moments, when the music remebers a moments where can remeber the taste of this day. I
At this video, the intentional was to transalate how is the sound of the music, means the what types of waves sounds the taste can give. This is inspire me, how can I put the public more inside of my outcome, as an experience, I can explore not just the visual and hearing, but also the mood.

Arctic Monkeys

clara_costa — 2019-04-13 19:12:55 UTC

This is a classic video for animators who wish to work with music, I never catch the attentio how this video influeces me, of course is really harmonic and beautifull, because everythinh flows so well, for example the colours, black and white, and when the sounds change or add new voices, more colours are added also. But the thing which is more hipynoses the public is when aren´t more the string doing the waves sounds, but is when the shorts and random animations starts and don´t stop, because need to flows and follow the music. Inspire to me to reflect about my timing, and hot can I take tottaly attention, with no stops.

Daniel Palacios waves

clara_costa — 2019-04-13 19:23:25 UTC

The installation reacts to those who watch it. When the audience moves around it they influence the movements of the rope, generating visual and acoustic sound waves from harmonic patterns to complex ones.The installation uses two motors to oscillate a length of rope creating a visual reminiscent of a digital waveform while creating it’s own whipping hum from the motion of the rope cutting through the air.

This installation made me reflect how could I take attention for the public, to reflect about my own space in the exibhition. Also how important is the process to look at the waves

Metal pipe experiment

clara_costa — 2019-04-22 17:56:31 UTC

This pipe was really long and my father was inside of bathroom, where I could put this pipe in the tinny window, and I could heard him far, and the sound from the pipes was better than with out, I think because when the sound propagates from everywhere is more difficult to hear deep the music, and when propagates from one place, I can listen with more clearly. Like a headphone but is a pipe.

PVC pipe experiment

clara_costa — 2019-04-22 18:02:13 UTC

At this video I could listen better the sound of the foot, and the music isn’t clearly, but this means the if the music is record from somewhere, like a box, I can hear better the sound, than if the music is playing in another place no to close to the pipe.
Also I have this attention in the foot, because is the foot who helps the musicians to count the music, the pauses and sounds, the timing. What could help me to understand more the music. Also this contributes with the theory I want to study, the human body is a graphic machine, producing differents graphics.

At this part, is a range of videos, differents videos from the concert, where I could see how the musicians works in the stage, how they are connected, and more interest is how they have fun, but a fun which the public can´t understand because is how they play the music, I think just the players know, this part made me be more curious about this relationship, how they integrate and how the music connecting them.
So I have the recording audio, in the testin day, where they talk and discuss about how the music will flows, what style they want follow. Knowing my father, he likes to creates new styles, mixing jazz, blues, with Brazilian styles, but at this concert he tottally changes to rock, with beatles, mixing with differents bites.
What was interest in the testing is how they don´t read the cordes, they just heard and try to combine the instruments into harmony, a really intuitive process. This videos will help to undertand how each intruments works, and when each one will be more loud, how works. When I was recording this, I could see the musicians kicking the foot to the floow, and I talked to my father who explained to me, the foot is a guide to the musicians to perceive the sounds and counting the pauses. Also in the video just with my father, there were I could talk with him about music and how does work. He gave me a lot of teatching about brazilian styles, how the music had changed here, and how complex is our music.
This all process helped me to be in contact with music and the musicians. To acomplish the big fact and combine with my animation and exhibiton

clara_costa — 2019-04-22 18:55:16 UTC

The theory I would like to defend is the human body is machine to produce graphics. I could have this conclusion doing my owns graphics when I hear differents music with out look at the paper.
So I could se more of theses translation in dances, in steps, and also in the musicians, when they are plaiyng the made this movements with the feets, what guides them to count the music.
What influeces me because, when I talk about translate the music into visually, I think the feet is a parth to help me in this process, couting the sounds and produce a differents graphic.

Prototype box

In my exhibition proposal I will have a box made by wood, and inside will have a music boz, where the sound will go to the pipes, and the pipes transmit this sound to the public.
So I did this box with plastic pipes and it´s a small box where I could put music from my iphone inside, than I test the sound, what I could hear more loud, because of the box and the pipes. It´s means will work.

Zaira’s crying

Zadar Sea Organ

clara_costa — 2019-05-26 21:19:57 UTC

Zadar’s incredible Sea Organ, designed by local architect Nikola Bašić, is unique. Set within the perforated stone stairs that descend into the sea is a system of pipes and whistles that exudes wistful sighs when the movement of the sea pushes air through it. The effect is hypnotic, the mellifluous tones increasing in volume when a boat or ferry passes by. You can swim from the steps off the promenade while listening to the sounds.

This design are relate to my project because the architect planned with pipes transforming into music, and represent how the music changes when the waves shocks to the organ. This represent a differents style of music production.

Take on Me

clara_costa — 2019-05-28 15:00:30 UTC

When I watched this video, I realized is an atypical method to produce an animation, using just animatics, or key frames to demostrate the scene. In some scene we can see the drawings moving. This a different and more funny way to use animation as a source to represent music, mostly this music where the bits are more emphatic. I never ever watchet the animation, just listed, and today I could undertant more the music and how the animation helps the public to acomplish the video.

This´s the first desing I have made, inspired on me and another girlswitht he same hair cut. We can see the diference between this one and the one in the animation. But this helped me as a guide to look at when I was drawing thye frames.

Raúl Ariño

clara_costa — 2019-09-09 19:02:06 UTC

O This illustration is my favouriste by Raúl Ariño.
Raul used to mix different skills and drawn ordinary scenes. What draws attetions is because of this mix of skills ( water colour, ink, pastel and acrylic) and his unusual drawings with no proportion, give the scene another mood.
For example at this one, the paper is not white, and Raul used black ink do produce the scenography and fines traces to the characters, what is not so precise to produce ordinary scene . In the bottom is not really visible to understand what happen, but we can understand is out of the window and is city because of the colour of the paste. Also the red water color producing the light and shadow is fantastic, and shows using less can gives the mood, a minimalist way somehow. This shows how this contrasts of usual scenes with different techniques can be useful to produce a concept.

Jilian tamaki

clara_costa — 2019-09-09 19:27:01 UTC

Jilian is an famous illustratos who works with differetns concepts but my favourist one is that in "this one summer" where I feel that Jilian work really well with the digital and is amazing. The way she use a simple pallets and work with gradients, tell how monochamatics colours can be useful for differents perpesctives.
For example in this one page of the comic, she mixed differents movements from the same character, giving the idea of character are smmings. The body are really unique.
