I showed Stephen the plan I have for my final project and we discussed which shoot should be in what animation area.
Trojan Horse - should be in the Zoetrope as it related to Muybridge’s work
Icarus melting wings - in the projection or even on a screen if possible
Pandora’s Box - Box with a flip box on the inside that will show the animation when you open the box.
We also discussed that wax may not melt as well as I was hoping and not as quickly, so it may be better/ easier to use butter or lard instead to help speed up the process.
It was really helpful to have this tutorial as I needed that little bit of reassurance that it can be done in time and how I can execute the projects.
Stephen asked me why I had the prints on the wall as well as the installations, to which I explained that, I feel that Greek Mythology comes into everyday life and even though it is moving all around us and is evolving as we evolve, it is still there as a still in our everyday’s, so I feel that having that animation and the stills will help to represent this.
