Extended Practice: Rationale

Blog Address
Where are you documenting the development of Extended Practice online?

http://g-narbutaityte256048-sp.blogspot.co.uk/


Broadly speaking what are you interested in exploring and why?

I am interested in exploring dance animation and the production of music videos because I have been fascinated by contemporary dance for years and wanted to produce a proper dance animation for as long as I have been interested in animation.


What you want to do during this module? Be as specific as you can at this moment in time.
If you plan on working on multiple briefs to demonstrate your practice, identify clearly each brief.



I would like to create a ~3 minute music video, which would be part animated, part live action. With this project I would like to demonstrate how animation can push movement and dance further than live I action, as well as demonstrating my knowledge of human anatomy in movement and animating skills. Basically, I would set the brief myself and It would be an individual project.


Explain how this will be developing your Specialist Practice?

It would be a great piece of work for my portfolio and would demonstrate exactly what I am interested in as a practitioner in the animation industry, which is animating movement and developing character animation. It would also be a piece of work I could present to animation festivals and competitions.


What do you need and by When?

I would require a camera for filming the live action part of the project and a studio space, like the one in the photography course space. I am pretty sure everything I will require is accessible at the college and we have already had inductions on the equipment and how to book a studio space.

Will you be working on a group project or brief? 
( If YES explain )

This project will be more individual than a group brief. I will be collaborating with dancers and I may require to take some people on board if I need help with editing footage. However I do not believe I will not require collaboration on the animating part.


Are there any stakeholders in your project?
If YES, explain who they are and what their responsibilities are? - This is essential if you've got a Live Brief from a client

There will be no stakeholdres.


What, where and when do you need to research. Begin to identify and artists, practitioners, companies or organisations that you will need to talk to. This could include getting to speak to people at conferences, events and other organisations. 


I will need to reach out to dance schools. As for animating dance, I have researched this subject for years now, so I believe I am at a stage where I am ready to start working on it. I might need to research the festivals I would like to submit the finished project to.

Please identify at least 6 books, periodicals, websites or other media that may be informing your rationale. Please use Harvard referencing.
