Entrance to MOMO


Top image is by Gilsavage who creates her own feltidermy. The middle image is a piece designed by Kathy Temin. I was influenced by both these pieces when I created the entrance to my exhibition on taxidermy.I mimicked the panels that girlsavage used in the construction of her rabbit. I also used zippers, stuffing and fake fur to realistic mock-up of what the entry would look like at full size.

Typographic Video





For my text video I used the opening lyrics from Kasabian's track 'West Ryder Silver Bullet'. I thought the spoken lyrics by a woman at the beginning were quite evocative and poetic. I gained inspiration from many sources. Like Citizens Cope http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAuQmJzt_q0 along with a typographic digital rendition of Nina Simone's Feeling Good. I enjoyed the old school film technique used in the video clip. I tried to utilise this in my own work. I used other effects that were useful such as Wiggle, Mr Mercury and Drizzle. I used all these techniques to communicate a frenzied, insane mind, the flashing of the background indicating a badly lit room, something creepy like that from a mental asylum.

For this attempt at the brief, I wanted to create my 'clones'. I gained inspiration from attending David Harradines forum 'Photoshop on Fire' around 3-4 years ago where he went to explain the technique. I used masks and limited burning and dodging. As long as you take the photos on a tripod its very easy to blend to create an illusion that looks really convincing.
