Signs - Audio/Visual assignment

The brief was to capture and collect images of signs around Lincoln and create 5 different 5 second videos.

I decided to combine all 5 of my sign video sequences and add a layer of music to give the video an extra edge. With the help of digital effects and editing, I think I managed to construct something exciting and keep the viewers attention throughout. I focused on the shapes the signs created when distorted and tried to let the beats of the song become the narration and timing of the video.

Dynamic type animation - Typography assignment

The brief for this Typography assignment was to animate a passage of text from the book Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.

"I lie in the round clearing
and let the sun wash over me
my ears tuned into the wind,
whipping through the treetops
I’m freed from the gravity and float up
open my eyes and it’s gone."

We were asked to use our skills as a typographer to
express the “feel” of the text through motion, transition and stylish composition.

Recent Portrait photography

Below are a selection of Portraits captured by myself on a recent photo shoot for my girlfriend Amy Sayles. I am a huge fan of black and white photography, I also decided to shoot all the images using only one spot light and a clean white backdrop. The purpose of this was to bring out the shadows and highlights of the subject as well as add a vintage look to the images.
