Some friends and I went to the Wild Place Project in Bristol on January 2017, to have the first contact with action analysis as an aim of our module brief. Furthermore, I used this first travel to the wild to get into the practice of making my own research and see what I can do to have better video and photographic references in the future.
This time we only went with our phones and sketchbooks, however the next time I want to go with my DSLR camera and with some sort of slow motion recorder if possible. Although, making life drawing with animals was a marvelous experience, at the same time it was really frustrating because the animals are in constant movement. Because I was the one with the best camera, I combined all the interesting footage in a video so I can share it with my other classmates. |
This are my life drawing sketches from that day

Martha and I went to London in a fast trip to watch Kubo and the Two Strings with a Q&A with the director and one of the producers, as part of the Animated Women UK. There, we met Travis Knight, director of the film with who we had a short but interesting talk about animation, and a freelance editor lady that at the moment is working at ILLUMINATION MAC GUFF.
Furthermore, as I am always doing some research about new lighting and how the cities look like at different hours and with diverse illuminations, I took some pictures of London light. |
The next day, our bus was leaving at around 4,30pm, so we decided to go walking from the hostel we were staying (with a creepy small bunk bed in which I was almost touching the roof with my head) to the Victoria & Albert Museum through Green Park, this was amazing because it was full of different kind of dogs in this little green jungle.

Inside the museum, we discovered a little room with an old crinoline which we were allowed to use, so we start to do some action analysis of the movement in the cloth (and also play a little bit).
