Future Fantasteek! in Motion
What?
This project is funded by a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from The Arts Council UK. The project is called Future Fanasteek! in Motion and will run between August 2021 and March 2022
Why?
I want to explore the space between animation and the still-image on the printed zine,
to develop aspects of motion, digitally and through AR. I propose digital interventions
in sound, animation & sequence to make the unfolding of pages (real & virtual)
a multi-layered experience
This grant provides dedicated time to learn to record, edit and place sound/image in harmony so that I can enhance the experience when viewing zines online and in-print using AR. I see this as mixing elements in unexpected ways that will be an exciting
step-change in my practice.
What will I do?
Arts Council support will support me to learn AfterEffects/PremierPro and other digital software, but also to explore additional elements such as AR content and emerging apps. I will use this time to experiment with software to lift my images from printed pages and combine them with sound and motion to create a new and unexpected reader experience.
I have confidence and lots of experience working with static digital images but I will work with two mentors that will support the development and refinement of my technical skills in adding sound and motion to my drawings.
This website will be a space to record work-in-progress and share my journey and the things I discover along the way
