Music Genre

For my music genre i have chosen electronic, i wanted to choose electronic because i had the idea of doing a colourful and sparkly video with flashing images to skip to the beat. I am actually doing this song in the video above, i didn't actually know there was a video to it untill just researching then, but it is almost exactly like the idea i already had in mind. I like the idea of the sparkly flashy bits that dance around because they sort of represent the scratchy and high pitched notes of the voice.

Song choices

These are song lyrics from 2 of the songs we were given to choose from, it is between these two. I think i am going to choose Kate Rusby's, Stretched On Your Grave just because i like it a tiny bit more.

P J Harvey - Down By The Water

I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl
So much to me
And now I'm moan
And now I holler
She'll never know just what I found

That blue-eyed girl
She said no more
That blue-eyed girl
Became blue-eyed whore
Down by the water
I took her hand
Just like my daughter
See her again

Oh help me jesus
Come through the storm
I had to lose her
To do her harm
I heard her holler
I heard her moan
My lovely daughter
I took her home

Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter
Little fish, big fish swimming in the water
Come back here man gimme my daughter

Kate Rusby - Stretched On Your Grave

I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie here forever
If you hands were in mine
I'd be sure they would not sever
My apple tree, my brightness,
It's time we were together
For I smell by the Earth
And I'm worn by the weather.

When my family think
That I'm safely in my bed
Oh, from morn until night
I am stretched out at your head
Calling out unto the earth
With tears hot and wild
For the loss of a girl
That I loved as a child.

Do you remember the night
Oh, the night when we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the touch of the frost?
Oh, and thanks be to Jesus
We did all that was right
And your maidenhead still
Is your pillar of light.

Oh, the priests and the friars
They approach me in dread
Oh, for I love you still
Oh, my life, and you're dead
I still will be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm

I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie here forever
If you hands were in mine
I'd be sure they would not sever
My apple tree, my brightness,
It's time we were together
For I smell by the Earth
And I'm worn by the weather.

For my own song i have millions of ideas, i just cant choose, i think i will probably choose one of my favourite songs, Ragoo by kings of leon, jut because i already have a rough idea of what i can do

3D head

Eric Testroete has been working as a 3d artist in the Vancouver game industry for 9 years but has spent most of his career as a character artist.

This piece of work was inspired by video games and then he thought it would be a good thing for halloween.

Heres a link to see more photos and how he did it.

I found this by accident whilst looking for thing for an art nouveau mood boad, wierd seeing as this has nothing to do wih art nouveau. But anyway, i thought it was a really good idea and id share :)

Power animal - Composite image

We had to blend our faces together with the face of our power animal, well it diddnt have to be our power animal but i chose to stick with mine and did a cat.
Its really not good but its the best i can do.

Power animal - Mask

These are some images taken of me wearing my power animal mask.

We've had to edit 2 of our images with our masks on for part of our project, i have done one so far here it is :)

Cat Movements

We were asked to look at videos of our power animal and try and find one that could help us with our animation later on.

The video i have found, i think, sums up the playfulness and curiosity that cats have. With Its big eyes and dilated pupils following the ball like its about to pounce and grab it.

I am going to use the head movement into my animation to show its playfulness and curiosity

in everything.

I think i am like the cat in this way, i like enjoying myself and i am definitely curious about almost

everything, i want to try everything, almost everything anyway.

Alter ego rough draft's

I have taken a few photos for my alter ego's, hippie and business woman, they arnt great because my cameras rubish and i cant pose. Ive done a bit of editing on them so i can put a proper background to fit with them in it, but i havnt got that far yet.

I also noticed after i edited this that id just cut off the tip of my finger aha, ill sort it outt!

I took some business woman ones too but they really wernt good, so i'm going to put them on another time :)
