Using a city built in SketchUp I took screen shots around the landscape.
I filmed myself and edited each frame to make myself look
a part of the surroundings by coating a sketch like layer onto my
frames which created a chaotic but calm atmosphere.
I also wanted to explore composition and how I could manipulate it.
I would like to thank Peter for modeling for me in my video.

“City Apart” – I’ve only looked at the first one so far – merits a similar comment to the one I made about “Be Surprised”: the illusion is spoilt by the foreground figure having head and shoulders cut off by a white edge at the start. I also think there’s a slight problem with the chair, which seems not to “belong” to the figure: it doesn’t have the same fluctuating roughness of tone to it as the animation progresses. I love the composition of this one, though: the blue of the sky, the firm horizon-line, the white space in the bottom half, and the space between the figure and the city.
I like the four pieces together- they make a nice narrative. I wasn’t sure if the character was going to jump from the roof in the last one.. especially after nipping on the flask in the previous ones.
Anyway, Nice juxtaposition of teh cityscape and the loose hatching lines on the figure.
a fine and understated serie. with a bit of ellaboration, somke of the above mentioned “glitches” can be corrected. or, indeed, even emphasized even more it the figure/ground belonging or not.
