One Thing i would like to try and use is paper in my animation, and the possibility of making a stop motion through re-creating the food, and/or characters in my final animation to help better get the message i am trying to portray across.
I want to try and incorporate paper in some way to help experiment with techniques and i feel by using this type of medium it would be possible to over exaggerate messages in the animation and the use of materials could vairy from recycled materials like re, using packaging, found paper and objects and also a good way to make a striking animation with colours.
This may change as making such things out of paper may be very difficult to make and also animate depending what it is make from so although i would like to do 3D stop motion i may move towards 2D or a mix, trying to understand after effects more also to push the messages and story further.
I liked this piece as it has a direct interpretation of the food it is re-creating next to it, using relatively simple 3D shapes but yet using very striking colours giving it such a hand made appeal.
I found this advertisement very striking, with the use of colours and simple photography. I wold like to play around with colours when representing the vegetables as i want to focus my animation around the pro's of eating local organic food. This could possibly help me visually show the difference when it comes to how it is grown, the chemicals in some exported food and the nutritional differences.
I want to experiment with making the shapes of the fruit out the paper but not sure how to go about making a paper template so it will take some experimentation of different techniques in making them look real enough to identify with.
This is a relatively simple advert, mixing 2D and 3D paper crafts to take the photo and advertise this particular food festival.
Zim and Zou are huge influences for me in paper animation at the moment creating such beautiful objects out of paper. The way the colours have been played around with by this artist really appeal to me, each thing is still easily to identify but adds a very fantasy style to them. I would like to play with colour in this way maybe to help show how the veg shipped are pumped with chemicals to make them look so big and delicious but through that loosing a lot of there nutritious value.
These piece of work by zim and zou were for a magazine about vitamins, which in a way is very relevant to what im doing, they created two pills with the first having natural veg falling out of it to show all the vitamins in it for medicine and the second a more darker side with all the money made in cosmetic medication.
There style very much carries through making alot of it very easily recognisable as there work, like this paper BBQ, which has a very graphic feel to it, but also being beautifully 3 diminutional.
The colours in a lot of the work is very bold and in your face with this futuristic burger full of so many different elements and pieces to put it together, representing well how everything is being pumped into it for flavour.

What appeals to me a lot about these pieces of work is the simplicity in shapes and colour to very clearly represent different food items. The crafting is a lot simpler then work by zim and zou but still very clear with nice composition, it shows to me that it doesn't have to be over complicated making the idea of crafting things like this a lot more realistic to visualise how to go about it.
The artist Polly created 3 sliced vegetables here (i think an avocado is a vegetable) by layering the card to create these very simple but beautiful layered drawings, using a contour like effect for depth. im still now sure how i am going to animate it but i feel it may be a mixture of techniques in the end once i have more of a narrative and story board together.
