Deadcrush by Alt-J



This is the Deadcrush music video and it is one of my favorites. Recently I've been planning and storyboarding another music video to create and I often watch other videos for inspiration. Although this video isn't the inspiration for the one I'm making, I still love the idea and resulting product of this one. The background in which they filmed is so interesting and really fits with the idea, as well as the camera angles and motions that really support the video. Also, I like that this video explains the song. The song is about the 3 band members' 'dead crushes' or 'DCs' from the past centuries: Elizabeth "Lee" Miller, Anne Boleyn, and Sylvia Plath. Only 2 of them made it into the lyrics but all 3 crushes show up in the video. So, when I first heard the song and I didn't understand it, watching the video made it all come together. I think the song and it's concept is so unique and I hope I can one day make a video just as interesting and original.

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
