The slide show

For the first pitch we had to put together a small presentation with what we had at the moment and what we could show to the rest of the year and basically sell our idea to see if anyone would be interested in joining.

So heres the show =]

                                                                                                                                                  

1.

Introduction.

For my project it is an exploration into the 3 art forms.

MUSIC

DANCE

and

ART

It will be in collaboration with students from dartington who study within the music and dance courses. The animation will be up to 1:50 minutes at most 2 minutes.

Throughout this piece it will show different art forms which help depict the human body in movement. The art style would be mostly based around different forms of life drawing but due to it being an experimental piece, more art forms can be included providing it works and flows.

                                                                                                                                                   

2.

Life drawing art style.

Here are a few examples of life drawings which i have created to help understand the style i would like the piece to look like. The human forms will be displayed in fluid lines and over exagereated line work depending on the movement of the dancer(s)

The animation will be created mostly in 2D but I am willing for any 3D pieces providing they look organic and flow easily with the rest of the piece.

                                                                                                                                                   

3.

Classic art styles.

Other examples of art styles which flow the life drawing effect are Dali, Egon Sheile, Botticelli and Kathe Kallowitz who relay a lot on the human body. As you can see these figures show a lot of emotion and character and would work well in an animation piece. baring in mind these are only guide lines to the art styles i am looking for. 

                                                                                                                                                   

4.

Modern art

If the classic style isnt what you are looking for I also have modern artists who bare this in mind such as Amos, Iemza and San, who display their human figures in ever moving formations. Again the line work on these examples are free flowing which is vital in this project. Again these artists are only guide lines of what you can do.

                                                                                                                                                   

5.

Dance video

Here is a short video of what the dancers are currently up too. The dancers contain 2 females and 2 males and will collaborate and work with each other. The composer attends these rehearsals to get an understanding of the movement and will be influenced with this whilst creating the music. 

The music will be an electric classical containing piano, violin and cello. A good example is Escalla, who are a string quartet. 

At the moment both the dancers and composer are working to 4 tracks which i have chosen so that they can understand the music they will be working with.

                                                                                                                                                   

6.

Final words.

During the early stages the animators working on this project will be attending some of these rehearsals and will need to bring drawing equipment to get a better understanding of the dancers and once they start animating, will have plenty of reference to work with.

The project will contain 3 main emotions which will be shown through all 3 mediums in a collaboration of disciplines  These will be 'joy' which will be at the beginning leading into 'fear' then finally 'hope'. Which will be a grand finale of how powerful all 3 mediums can be. 

The story between the 3 emotions will be shown through the use of the dance whilst the music and art hold it up and present it.

In conclusion to this pitch, Infinitus Artificium will show beauty behind music, dance and art.
