Portrait of myself 2007
black and white DVD, sound
2 min 43 sec
Upper Yarra Secondary College, Yarra Junction
My aim was to produce a self-portrait through capturing movement and mood, and to create a cohesive emotional state. Animation was the most appropriate form to express this artistically as it gives different takes on the subject, providing a more complex insight than a still, momentary portrait. I used Macromedia Flash and a Wacom graphics tablet, drawing each individual frame directly into the computer, which saved time in not having to scan pre-drawn cells. I utilised Rotoscoping combined with my own expressive line. I created my own music, playing acoustic guitar and recording on Digidesign.
