For my FMP I am going to do a rotoscope animation, projected over a portrait painting to bring the painting to life. the reason being is I like the idea of giving something still, some motion. The painting and rotoscope will be about what people chose to express and what their inner emotion really shows. I am planning on the paining/rotoscope to show feeling, imagination and emotional influence from what other people have experienced.

The reason that I have chosen to do this is because I have had a lot of troubles in my past that I have trouble talking about, and my only real way to express  the emotional pain I have been through is though my art. I want to show the stress and struggle that I had to hide and deal with every day to others in the form of an animated art piece. So rather than showing the stress and emotion that I had to deal with, I am trying to show how it was for me and how I dealt with it instead.

 

What I am trying to achieve with this, is for the viewers who have also had emotional trauma to see a sense of self reflection and hopefully a sense of knowing that they’re not alone. The reason I say hopefully is because there is no true way of knowing if someone gathers this feeling.

 

Method: to do a large scale painting with matte paint, so that it does not reflect the projection light. I will use canvas or paper – it depends on availability and finance.  After I will then proceed to do a rotoscope/animation on flash that will be projected over the painting to bring it all together, it will most likely consist of symbolic objects band creatures to represent different things via emotion and personality.

diffrent conditions which causes serious disorder in a person's behaviour or thinking.

 

  • Depression

In its mildest form, depression can mean just being in low spirits. It doesn’t stop you leading your normal life, but makes everything harder to do and seem less worthwhile. At its most severe, major depression (clinical depression) can be life-threatening, because it can make you feel suicidal or simply give up the will to live.

 

  • Bipoler

bipolar disorder you will experience extreme swings in mood – from periods of overactive, excited behaviour – known as ‘mania’ or ‘manic episodes’ – to deep depression. Between these severe highs and lows, you may have stable times.

Some people also see or hear things that others around them don't (known as having visual or auditory hallucinations) or have uncommon, unshared, beliefs.

 

  • anxiety

Anxiety is a word we use to describe feelings of unease, worry and fear. It incorporates both the emotions and the physical sensations we might experience when we are worried or nervous about something. Although we usually find it unpleasant, anxiety is related to the ‘fight or flight’ response

 

  • borderline personality disorder

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by severe, unstable mood swings, impulsivity and instability, poor self-image and stormy relationships.

 

  • paranoia

​if you are experiencing paranoia, you will feel a sense of threat and fear. For exsample there are different types of threat or harm that you may feel paranoid about. You may feel you are at risk of psychologicalharm, emotional harm, physical harm, financial harm or It could be one person you feel threatened by, or it may be a group of people, an organisation, an event or an object.

 

  • schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a diagnosis you may be given when people experience symptoms like a lack of interest in things, feeling disconnected from your feelings, difficulty concentrating, wanting to avoid people, hallucinations, hearing voices, delusions, feeling like you need to be protected. For some people these experiences or beliefs can start happening quite suddenly, but for others they can occur more gradually. You may become upset, anxious, confused andsuspicious of other people, particularly anyone who doesn’t agree with your perceptions. You may be unaware or reluctant to believe that you need help.

 

 What is the fight or flight response? 

Like all other animals, human beings have evolved ways to help us protect ourselves from dangerous, life-threatening situations. When you feel under threat your body releases hormones, such as adrenalin and cortisol, which help physically prepare you to either fight the danger or run away from it. These hormones can make you feel more alert, so you can act faster and/or make your heart beat faster to carry blood quickly to where it’s needed most. Then when you feel the danger has passed, your body releases other hormones to help your muscles relax, which may cause you to shake.

This is commonly called the ‘fight or flight’ response – it’s something that happens automatically in our bodies, and we have no control over it. In modern society we don’t usually face situations where we need to physically fight or flee from danger, but our biological response to feeling threatened is still the same.

Emotions are a strong feeling deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others and instinctive or intuitive feeling as distinguished from reasoning or knowledge.

 

When you view your mind as a pattern recognition network. Special organs within your limbic system recognize the patterns of events in your life and respond. Their signals trigger emotions, which instantly decide your attitudes and modify your behavior. Aroused emotions trigger restlessness, excitation, and agitation, preparing you for action.


Anger and fear are such emotions. Anger is blind to consequences and lashes out. Fear ignores successes and withdraws from confrontation. Despair envelops you in gloom, switching off pleasant avenues of thought. It is possible to still such negative emotions and be ruled by your common sense. Freed from fear, anger and despair, you can become calm and savor the positive emotions like joy and laughter. 

 

Quote: "An emotion is a complex psychological state that involves three distinct components: asubjective experience, a physiological response, and a behavioral or expressive response."(Hockenbury & Hockenbury, 2007)

Rotoscoping is a technique that allows you to create animation that mimics live action video. For example, a live actor may be filmed doing a series of actions, and the animatorwould have the digital character mimic the actions of the human actor for a realistic animated scene.  The rotoscoping technique was invented by Max Fleischer, who used it in his series "Out of the Inkwell" in 1915. Rotoscoping is an animation technique where animators will trace over footage they took, frame by frame, for use in andanimated films and shorts.

Max Fleischer, born july 19 Krakau, 1883 - September 11, 1972. was an ananimator, inventor, film director and producer. who invented the technique called rotoscopeing. he was most known for Superman [1941] and Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor [1936]. He was awarded U.S. "Method of Producing Moving Picture Cartoons," for the rotoscope, which allowed film footage of a live figure to be used as a guide for drawing an animated figure.His son Richard Fleischer was hired by Walt Disney [Max's main competitor] to direct Disney's blockbuster 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954).

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that has affected people throughout history. About 1 percent of Americans have this illness.

People with the disorder may hear voices other people don't hear. They may believe other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. This can terrify people with the illness and make them withdrawn or extremely agitated.

People with schizophrenia may not make sense when they talk. They may sit for hours without moving or talking. Sometimes people with schizophrenia seem perfectly fine until they talk about what they are really thinking.

Families and society are affected by schizophrenia too. Many people with schizophrenia have difficulty holding a job or caring for themselves, so they rely on others for help.

Treatment helps relieve many symptoms of schizophrenia, but most people who have the disorder cope with symptoms throughout their lives. However, many people with schizophrenia can lead rewarding and meaningful lives in their communities. Researchers are developing more effective medications and using new research tools to understand the causes of schizophrenia. In the years to come, this work may help prevent and better treat the illness.

Anmation is a way of making a movie by photograthing a series of drawings, computer graphics, or photographs of positioned objects (such as puppets or models from viruous matreials) that are slightly different from one another and that when viewed quickly one after another to create an illusion of movement when the film is shown as a sequence. makeing the anmation 

Skeptical:
wile i was talking to him, i broght up mulitple subjects and some things he was not sure on forceing him to be skeptical.

this faceal expression is simler to confusion but his smirk like smile give this away along with his over dramticly raised singler eyebrow whitch is hidden by his hair.

Pain:
in thease pictures i was pulling at his leg hairs causeing him a stinging like pain that only lasted a few seconds. 

he is showing his pain by automatic recation of his eybrows pressing down on his eyes, his eyes being close (can also look narrow), the nose wrkinling, his head curling up in pain and how upper lip raises clentching his theeth togther.
 

Confusion: 

wile i was talking to him i asked him meany odd qestions some that frustrated him, made him laught and some that made him confusied for exsample this picture shows his confusion.


You can tell he is confusied by his slightly glazed expression along with one eye brow being higher then the other with a sliglty wrinkeld nose, and a singler slightly raised conor of the mouth.

Here I have taken mulitple photos of this subject's face throughout a conversation to capture the fulll range of facial expressions that he used in that short span of time. The reason for me doing this was to see what dramtic changes there were within the face of a male in different situations. stimulateing the mind with different thoughts, emotions and actions. I drew over them in a bright coloure to capture the most dramatic changes in his face.

Animal symbolism can play huge role in our lives. They can aid in self-discovery and capture our imagination, giving us incredible avenues of self-expression and awareness. Animal symbolism is where each animal has different characteristics that can help define personality, for example stags can represent loyalty and leadership where foxes can indicate mystery, fire and trickery.

Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities and an artistic and poetic movement or style using symbolic images and indirect suggestion to express mystical ideas, emotions, and states of mind. But In most cases it is usually an object representing another to give it an entirely different meaning that is much deeper and more significant. But sometimes it can be an action, an event or a word spoken by someone that may have a form of symbolic value. For example, something as simple as “smile” can be a symbol of friendship, or memory, something deeper than for what it is. Alongside for an action of smiling it can symbolise the feeling of affection for someone. But one thing to remember is symbols of objects, etc can shift there meaning depending on the context that’s around them.

Along the trip, we made it too a few other muesems, one holding the 'Bite your tongue' whitch was themd on oppression, violence and the misues of power by Leon Golub.

 

the reason why i am showing only this picture is because of two reasons, its the only one i can link to my work on a psyical means and when i walked in my eyes were draw to this painting of brute realism.. it was in the center of the musem with 3 other paintings. but how he caught pure truth got to me, at first glance i grew a personal attachment to this painting.

On the 5th of May my class took a trip to the 'What is luxury' Event in the Victorian Alberts musesem. sadly nothing in the WIS Event was useful for my projects but  lucky there was a handfull of naked female body statues witch i took the time to setck. there are mulitple exsamples below. The reason i took time to draw thease suclptures is so i can improove my drawing skills on the human antatomy, mainly females.

 

hear is a collection of photos i took with my secktshs.

This painting is known as 'Interrogation III' it potrays a woman with her eyes and her mouth duck-taped closed, ropes tied around her wrists seeming to be tightend, possible her clouthing behind her indateing that she was forced to be naked, her legs widely spread and another man forceing her head down.  Her legs not being tied means she chould have been kicking them but she was not, why? her body languge shows she is terifyed with the highly raised sholders for self defences possible not wanting to be hurt agian. what makes this even more so dramtic, is that both the men are huge with mucel were as this one, singler defenceless female has almost no indatastion of mucel what so ever. not to mention one of the men in green has a gun and the other has his shirt unbttoned. it doesnt take alot to know what all this is indacateing sadly.

Bones:

Bones in general symbolism can be seen as mortality in the form of skeletons, but when a bone is seen separately they can be seen as permanence beyond death. Bones are usually the last object that we leave behind after death, as a mark of permanence, bones can also represent nature or earth even a form of our truest, barest self. They are lasting, and are the frame of our bodies. Bones in dream retaliated symbolism, they can be seen as someone figuratively being stripped or cut to the bone may signify a sudden insight or an attack on your/there personality. Fracture bones in dream symbolism can be represented to show threat to the foundations of life, and to personal power, symbolising that you may have discovered a fundamental weakness in your plans physical or on a psychology level.

 

Faceless:

General symbolism of a faceless person usually means unknown origins or mystery. But in dream based symbolism a faceless person has a bigger meaning altogether, as a dream symbol to see a faceless or featureless figures or people in your dreams indicate that you are still searching for your own identity and finding out who you are. But in a physical sense it could mean you are unsure of how to read people and their emotions
