animation inspiration

Google - Martha Graham from Ryan J Woodward on Vimeo.


The animation video was by Ryan J Woodward, the video is called Google-Martha Graham. The  animation was advertise by Google, the idea behind the animation video was the contemporary skills and techniques of the dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham. I selected this animation video because it related to the theme of the animation video that I am creating. The video is inspiring by how the artist creates different movements of the dancers in the animation video and started to create words which makes into one word. The animation that was created in this animation was cartoon animation. The techniques that was included in the animation was Flash and Photoshop and sketching of the dancers in the animation. The ideas that I can try from the video is to include movements in the dancers and the skateboarders and include colours that contrast the elements towards the video such as the skateboarding scenes will include bright colours and interesting graphics for the skateboards and possibly graffiti. The dancing scenes will include light settle tonal colours with a blend of darker tones especially when it comes to the silhouettes of the dancers.
