Final Project Proposal

1.Concept (what and why)

Visual concept: person with wings in a fantasy-scape/dream scene, possibly a transformation of a drawn character into photo-realistic subject

Psychological concept: human identity, physical reality

A progression of series in a line- as the world deteriorates, the person becomes more complete then the reverse

Experimental visual techniques:
black and local color
multitude vs solitude
bending cliché/ darker themes


2.Production Process (how, where, when)

Some images taken from the internet, hopefully most taken by me with the digital camera. Most images of nature scenes, maybe some city-scapes and people.

3.Post-Production Process (what kind of editing)
Mostly color, blending, smoothing and blurring of different images to hopefully form seamless and somewhat believable scenes with a focus on atmosphere, perhaps w/ a cinematic effect

4.Final Output (number of images, size they will be printed at)

total of about 4 photos, no bigger than 7 ½ X 10, possibly making changing the size as they progress from picture to picture

5.Influences ( Historical and Contemporary- who else has done this and how can you expand on that)

These artists create either visually stunning, fantastical images or focus on atmosphere and mood.

William Kentridge, Jerry Uelsmann, Patricia Van Lubeck, Andreas Gursky, Matthew Ritchie, Gregory Crewdson, Kim Keever, Yoshitoshi ABe

Composite Ideas

I'd like to try something where I compile images of nature, such as flowers or trees in unexpected places, such as in an indoor room on a roof. I'm really fascinated with the contrast between combining the exterior world with the interior, rather than trying to make a political-type statement, although this idea is not set in stone as of yet. My other idea would probably be a kind of statement about identity as well, as this also fascinates me. My goal is really just to create something aesthetically interesting.
