Stop-motion Rotation 2022, Week 2 Research

I started out working through the medium of paper exhaustively through primitive shapes, complex shapes and paper cutouts of personal and collage artwork. I was trying to get a sense of how to create a stop-motion style of visual interest in a continued narrative that could possibly capture the feeling or sensation of movement in blank space, similar to the one I was imagining in my brainstorming. Here are samples of the records I kept of the research and experimentation with traditional materials that seemed interesting to me when I was researching the texture of interests that could be created as backgrounds and layers to be used on the multiplane. I was more focused on the emotion and action that I could collage into a single master board piece to emphasise movement as a coherent energy from using inspiration from magazines, zines or newspaper cutouts. I found myself really engaged with learning the possibilities that could be done with just stop-motion and the multi-plane set-up as animation tools.
