FMP Proposal

for my FMP I plan to make a animation, however rather than making it with software such as aftereffects and cinema 4D I intend to take a much more hand rendered approach and compile a flicker book with illustrations to form my animation. In theory the animation will be thirty seconds long, and I assume (for the moment) that the animation will be roughly 10 pages every second, making the book roughly 300 pages long, considering that all of these need to be hand rendered, I will have to make the images simple in order to complete it on time. Because of the time consternate, the drawings will have to be simple line, if I feel that I have time to color in the images I will in all likely hood opt to use simple ink washes. For this project to work I will need to find and buy (or make) a book that has good quality paper and has the potential to absorb and handle ink well, I'm not sure how easy such a thing will be to come by but I can possibly use the collage facilities to make my own book.

The project is based on the theme of DNA and to follow this I will study evolution, the reason for this choice is because I feel that this particular theme will translate well into an animated format, looking at evolution will help me easily tell a narrative, which is what I want to achieve with this project. My initial idea around the concept of evolution was to produce a animated time line of human evolution, I want to make this somewhat comedic and thus will not study the actual human evolution history. I will need to do some research of past animals in order to form a basis for my design work, however I will make my own designs rather than illustrate them in as they really are.

This is a illustrated cabinet that was at the exhibition, I noted this image because of variation and liveness of the illustrations, it has nothing to do with DNA really but i think it is a really nice design. 
This is a slate, which describes the DNA books, it states there are some parts that even modern tech cant read properly.

This is a mosquito, a blood sucking insect which can transmit many forms of blood related decease, the image above is a enlarged model of one,I believe it was in the exhibition beacuse of the nature of its feeding, and how it can process human or animal blood effectively within its body, also because of the amount of harm full parasites, bacterial and viral infections.   
This is a image of a skeleton, I included this image because of the ascetic look of it. The way the image  has a good contrast within the frame, the image contains negative space, the image looks very natural almost plant like, i like the way its positioning creates a sense of flow. 
This is a picture of a book that contains the letters of a human DNA sequence, there are multiple books that have this small text over a thousand pages, and tat is only the sequence contained in one cell.
I noted this image because i liked the look and form of it, the Florissant tubbing coiled in a double helix. The image has a very profound sense of movement within the shape and the light ands a very warm artistic natural glow to the image. 

This is a full picture of all the books within the book case, rmember this makes up one cell!
