I have been focussing on the Amen Brother piece as my central focus for the unit and this is my primary objective for the mid January deadline and the piece that I will concentrate on.
As far as content, character and narrative for Anonymous goes I have been researching and looking for the right anonymous subject. I have been in touch with a few famed graffiti artist and one of these looks very possible. Also chasing up through a friend at Greenpeace a notorious direct action campaigner. Lastly someone I know who served time as an armed bank robber and is now out and successfully rebuilding his life. I will keep researching this and developing these contacts and see if there is a goer in amongst them.
However in the background I have been developing some stylistic ideas for the Anonymous idea. I have been looking into double exposure photos and live action double exposure also as techniques I could employ in the piece. I have also been researching animation styles and techniques and also playing around with roto-scoping. Currently this is just to increase my skill level but I did want to make sure that when the time came I have an appreciation of how these techniques work creatively so i can explore the possibilities. Alongside this I wanted to have a good degree of understanding of the technicalities of these areas to give me an appreciation of what is possible, best software and techniques. This would mean I entered into using them with a good degree of knowledge to make sure I maximised the potential of them and the processes as well as all important timescales that these will involve.
