Sketchbook Post #6 - Tarin Gessert
I was looking at different animations on YouTube to help me get ideas for my animation (and I'm still not sure where I'm going with it). However, I do want to incorporate a few ideas seen below in mine. First, I really like the idea of a continous loop, but I don't want it to be just one thing over and over. Rather, I would just have the end of the animation connect to the beginning. I also like the idea of things morphing into other things. I'm not sure how abstract I want to get with that though.
The only real idea I've come up with is the animation beginning with the sun shining, a flower or plant growing and then turnining into something (not sure what), and that thing then turns into the sun shining and it starts again. It's kind of a typical illustration (how many times have you seen a flower/tree growing) but I want to make it different and intersting, and I will.

I think the first animation is really interesting. Good inspiration for helping you to get creative when using the idea of having something morph into another. Could use this to morph the flower into something totally unexpected.

I think the flower/tree should morph into a man-made object, probably machine like, since they are like complete opposites, and you can even connect it to the environmental issues and going green.

There's nothing wrong with recycling ideas...all artists do it. The trick is to give it a different perspective that will make yours different than the ones before. Have you developed your idea further?
