Visual abstraction

After our seminar on visual abstraction, I started looking into the website folksonomy.co for ideas for my spot motion animation. I wanted a colourful and textured piece of work so that it could stand apart from the rest of my blog. Also using different colours will give me the freedom to experiment with colour field, what looks good next to certain colours/textures. http://folksonomy.co/index.php?search=animation

               Animator Miguel Jiron unleashes an abstract storm of paint in the colourful      animated short, “Paint Showers.” Jiron created the 2011 stop motion animation by applying paint to a pane of glass.

This colourful animation has influenced me even more so into using paint as a medium. For my development I will use paper as my background at first and then move onto different materials (wood,glass,etc) when I have a strong idea of exactly what will happen in my storyline.
