Surrealism video

Hey hey :D This is the video that Raier and I made.


I think this task was pretty challenging. It took some time to figure out what story line we were going to do, but once we knew, we had to find appropraite pictures in the magazines provided to create surrealistic characters. I think the overall result is pretty good for a first time using iStopmotion.
This story line is meant to be based on the Cinderella story.It's about this man who got invited to go to a ball at a castle, but he lost his invitation on the way. Then this girl is walking by, and she see the invitation and goes to the ball in the castle. As she is in the courtyard, she sees the guy and she goes to give his invitation back and they fall in love. But then the clock ticks 12.00pm and it sways side to side and soon crashes on the girl and kills her. The guy then falls in love with the clock instead. (:
Hope you like it (:

Art Excursion to the Brisbane Gallery Of Modern Art- GOMA

Today, 22nd of February (Monday), we went to the Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art.

This gallery featured collections from Australian and international paintings, sculptures, decorative art objects and works on paper. As soon as we walked into the centre, it looked pretty amazing. The ceiling was covered with paper, which was clipped with the bull-dog clippers all the way across the ceiling. I thought that was pretty cool. (;

This was a sculpture of a taxidermied elk embedded withglass bubbles, by Kohei Nawa. I think this sculpture was very interesting and really shined out for me. (: The glass bubbles look really great, you can just see the elk under it. It looks as though the elk is trapped inside a fantasy world or something, becasue the glass bubbles make the texture and surface of the sculpture look like a fantasy.

Another great sculpture by, Subodh Gupta who created a large, nuclear explosion, which looks like a massive mushroom cloud and was made from household objects. I think this explosion is very unique and i really looove it. <3

This next one, was one of my favourite. <3> They are mutant guitar sculptures created by Rudi Mantofani. I think that this is a really creative thing to do with everyday guitars. I would've never thought of doing such a thing to guitars, but the overall results was really inspirational and juist amazing. (: The colours of the guitars make it eye popping, and that's another reason it really stodd out for me. The different colours just make it look fun and exciting.
One of the activities that you could take part in the Art Gallery was to go into a room and take off our shoes. The room was an amazing installation made by Shinji Ohmaki. The room consisted of 120, 000 of knotted thread that people can walk through. Shinji said that if you tie them all together, there will be 400km of thread. eg- from Tokyo to Osaka. This room was heaps of fun. Raier, Anna, Hartley and i all went in at once. As you get deeper into the room, you can't see anything but white threads hitting you in your face. :D Haha. I started getting really clostrophobic and i was attempting to get out, but instead rammed into a window. (really embarrassing). Hehe. This is a photo.

Great Photographerr

Terry Richardson is an American Photographer. He has a scandalous photography style as his portraits of celebrities are quirky and unusual. That is what i love most about Terry Richarson. I love the way he isn't scared to do something different and weird, he isn't afraid to work with different people, he can always make a portrait 'his own' by putting his own personality into it. The portraits always look like alot of fun and crazy. :D

This is his website; http://www.terrysdiary.com/

This is an image of Johnney Knoxville and someone else that i dont know.. hehe :D

This is a photograph of Barrack Obama, the head line was, 'Change is Here'.

Terry Richardson also works as a fashion photographer. In this image he is campaigning a Japanese fashion brand called ICB. Then title is called, 'ICB Girl Loves The Pink Panther.'

Terry Richardson takes amazing photographs of celebrities aswell, you may not know it, but he did the photoshoot of Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" album cover.

These are more celebrities; such as Amy Winehouse and Pamela Anderson.

The celebrity i most admire however, is Jared Leto, the frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars. He has been a close friend of Terry for many years,and a couple of days ago, he asked Terry to shave his head into a mohawk. Terry, (being a photographer), took photographs of the different stages of shaving his head. This is the final product. I looove the black and white, because black and white photographs are always so simple yet amazing.

I think that Jared Leto is a veryy atrractive guy, and he looks really amazing in this photo. (;
