Year 3 Statement Collection.. Two looks based on one source incorporating cross referencing of details, styles, designers concepts that inspire my work. Source is Stanely Kubrick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey" considered to be one of the greatest films ever made. Mainly based around the Quantum Singularity / Temperal Vortex in the chapter "Jupiter and Beyond The Infinite" incorporating creative Japanese pattern cutting techniques, strapping and embroidered hardware elements.
Below are excerpts from the film, the first one is the unmistakable epic opening sequence from the film and the second is an "Orbital" music video for "Halcyon" incorporating imagery of the journey through the infinite. Both very much worth a look. They are followed by a video "Jupiter and Beyond The Infinite" set to "Echoes" by Pink Floyd.
Below are some test shots of my two looks which are to be photographed and styled appropriately at a later date.
Nominated for an Oscar and for a BAFTA award, Jasper Morello is a short feature made in a unique style of silhouette animation developed by director Anthony Lucas and inspired by the work of authors Edgar Alan Poe and Jules Verne. In the frontier city of Carpathia, Jasper Morello discovers that his former adversary Doctor Claude Belgon has returned from the grave. When Claude reveals that he knows the location of the ancient city of Alto Mea where the secrets of life have been discovered, Jasper cannot resist the temptation to bring his own dead wife Amelia back. But they are captured by Armand Forgette, leader of the radical Horizontalist anti-technology movement, who is determined to reanimate his terrorist father Vasco. As lightning energises the arcane machineries of life in the floating castle of Alto Mea, Jasper must choose between having his beloved restored or seeing the government of Gothia destroyed. Set in a world of iron dirigibles and steam powered computers, this gothic horror mystery tells the story of Jasper Morello, a disgraced aerial navigator who flees his Plague-ridden home on a desperate voyage to redeem himself.
Also winner of the Grand Prix award at the Annecy Animation Festival, Jasper has also won the top honours at the Canadian Film Centre's Worldwide Short Film Festival, Best Animation at Flickerfest 2005, Best Animation at the Sydney Film Festival Dendy awards and Best Animation at Toronto worldwide shorts.

My friend Mareaid bagged me this when she went to see Antony And The Johnsons the last time they played Dublin. Antony and Mareaid are cousins so ended up in conversation about me not being able to go to the show and that I should have gone despite it being sold out. Next time they play there'll be no stopping me.
Cheers Mareaid, you the bomb diggidy!!
