This animation will form the centre of a triptych. This means that there will be an animation which will be shown either side of this one. As the animations are intended to be shown in portrait format and not landscape you will either have to tilt your head or your screen (or just use your imagination!) so that some of the figures etc make sense.
Each week I will add my work and would like people to comment on how the animations make you feel and what you think they mean. Criticism is more valuable than praise so don't hold back. Please send feedback to:

Ego1: I felt sorry for the person struggling to survive on their own in an environment that keeps trying to crush them. When it ended with two people holding hands and they were no longer being crushed by the world around them. That made me feel all optimistic.
ReplyDeleteEgo2: It made think about reproduction lessons in biology at school. That made me feel slightly squeamish because I'd rather think that people are made of chocolate sponge cake than all that icky blood and stuff.
Ergo2: Relationships. Starting off as one and then splitting into two. Growth/Development.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I will keep adding the animations as I produce them. Hopefully each weeks work will be an improvement on the last.
ReplyDeleteWow, Julie, have had to watch at the second one a few times as I got lost in the aesthetics, beautiful. The two sides of self(but maybe I thought this because of the title too), growth, the harshness and loss of growing up, moving on, that all sounds a bit sad, just before the end it seemed to have a feeling of positivity and bringing those things together (about 1.16) .
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking , Look forward to seeing on the big screen!

ReplyDeleteIt made me think of birth - rebirth. I felt like the page was about to set on fire. It also made me think of something trying to escape.
It made me feel a bit scatty and nervous.
Ego 2
It made me think of the deterioration of the environment - the red made me think of murder - it made me feel slighty unconfortable.

ReplyDeleteI see your person fighting through life being knocked own and getting up a again I forgot to read the intro - on second viewing as a portrait orientation then it all made sense
ego2 - a bloodier version - I like hte continuiity of movement and the changing colours

ReplyDeleteI thought this started like a tree, blossoming, then when the little people emerged, I thought how clever, how on earth did you do that, then saw a relationship kind of develop, explode, come back together, then wrap itself within itself to its end

Started even more like a tree, but then the split made me think of a seed, and then fruit, then I thought of generations and parenting, passing on wisdom in a flow of experience, including the the idle swing of legs, as if this was a memory of a good time to share
