This blog is dedicated to my Final Year Project which will be an Urban Installation created in an abandoned house, where the 4 seasons are unleashed. Within this blog, you will know how my project has progressed including the problems which I will encounter and also the development of my final piece - Hafiza :D

Changed idea of story outline

As weeks have gone by, and working on the special study I have been thinking of the main story outline of the piece. Based on how my piece will be displayed on the Degree Show I would like my animation to loop. Since my last updated idea, I have changed it once again. At the moment, I am thinking not to use the video footage of 'fake' break in into the house, this is because my piece will not loop.

Idea for Degree Show at The University of Huddersfield

For my Degree Show at the university, my piece will be based more on the construction side. For example, a stop-frame animation of the wallpaper-cutouts appearing on the walls. Next, a stop-frame animation of colour appearing onto the wallpaper-cutouts, which is then followed by short animations based on the seasons.

In the end of the construction piece, I will make a video footage of the urban installation which will be played after the construction piece.

One Day Viewing of Urban Installation at it's location

Because my actual installation is located in Halifax. I will invite everyone during one of the days of the Degree Show to come and view the installation itself. Viewers will then see my urban installation running constantly. Therefore, the idea of the break in footage would not work and also because I will not be able to display the construction piece as the construction of the walls will already be completed, i.e. stop-frame animation of wallpaper-cutouts and of colour. So then the viewers arrive to the location, they will walk into a room that is full of colour and cutouts. However, to make it interesting and last slightly longer, I will have the short animations looping. For example in Spring, birds flying will be a short animation. Another set of short animations will be displayed for the Summer, Autumn and Winter. When the projector rotates back to spring, a different animation will be played. This time it may be a squirrel after an acorn, etc. Same for the other seasons. So when the viewers are viewing the piece, they will not be looking at the same animation over and over again.
