This is my Helen Douglas project. The piece is called 'Tightly Coiled' and its my first animated project. You need to click on the image to view. The piece contains imagery of the downstairs corridor at Wilson Road and the spots refer to emotions. Any feedback is welcome. Danny Aldred

  2. The final piece is an animation - simple stop frame. I might make a small flick book aswell..

  4. the speed could be an interesting factor to explore - within the flick book several pages of the same image would slow the process down - the animation could be explored with transitions - an interesting start - the idea of the physical v the digital - is that a starting point for exploration?

  5. I think the speed could be interesting. Its a flip book without the hand. Also I like the fact you are forced through the sequence. With a flipbook you have control over the pace but here you don't. Would be nice to see it full screen.

  6. I love the apparent randomness of it. Sorry, I was not at Helen Douglas seminar. What was the pre-thinking behind it?

  7. I think that speed is an issue. A coil is a spiral. A spiral is visually condensed in the center relaxing outward. A coil's unwinding movement is parallel to the image-a release of tension that begins rapidly and gradually (gradual is not necessarily slow) loosens. Tension is the word that comes to mind.
