Red of Dead: scratch on film animation

For our 'red or dead' project we have decided to just choose a whole selection of experimental animation techniques that we haven't tried yet and let them shape the film.

Ive started with some scratching straight on film animation, i've been reading about norman mclaren for my dissertation work and watching a few of his films and I think this technique could look quite nice, perhaps as a background or night sky, but ive decided to keep it abstract.

Red or Dead: the 70s

We have a new brief with a new group this semester, we are creating a short film based on bicycles for the fashion brand Red or Dead. We have been working on ideas and have been mood boarding some of these ideas, here are a couple of mood boards i did focusing on fashion in the 70s.

Ive also been working on a quick concept piece based on old penny slot machines.
