(Above) Is my first shoot, due to it being a success I have chosen to approach this sort of theme which is Rituals. Involving the masked individuals and the symbols created by their hand expressions and composition. These images were by-products of the first shoot, I have included them due to the potential the…
Mocap Research Production Process
Due to the inability to use the Motion Capture Room to record my own data and recordings I have simply shifted my idea to a more basic one such as a character walk whilst retaining certain elements from my main idea. Onto the main idea, my idea was to create a lava illustration, in which…
Shoot #4 | Stop Motion #3 |
This is a recent shoot I’ve taken. I’ve gone back to the first shoot and taken a similar composition but this time, incorporating the skull and also a book (which I hope to replace) to start the link between all my shoots. I hope to develop a more ritual idea by using this composition, though…

I tried experimenting with light manipulation to explore a new surreal idea involving my theme of Rituals….

In the first image, we can see the chopping of a two people’s hand with two people holding each one down whilst it is bleeding. One on a stump and another on the ground, both screaming. With a ‘executioner’ present holding an axe. This evokes…
Initial Theme
Identity: I want my viewers to feel bewildered by what they’re looking at, to make them question the identity of the subjects. Like a kind of ritual/occult way. I want to make them question who people really are and what they really stand for/the background and history of those people. What makes us so different…
