Project Pixelation

Pixelation or "stop motion animation", is the project that I am encountering this week in animation class (just so you know, I have very little background in animation in any of it forms). When I was told that our next class would be on pixelation, I was informed that it might be best to do research on what exactly I would be doing. So I followed some links given by my fantastic teacher to a specific website of a company called PES, who do all their jobs (ads and such) strictly in animation.

I decided it would be best to share this fabulous company and their antics with.. well whoever wanted to know about it! So I am posting a website link that will bring you right to the website and right to one of my favorite sketches by them. But please don't be afraid to snoop around into any of their other projects. PS. I LOVE the sketch "Roof Sex", don't worry its not as crude as you might be thinking it is, however, it is not for the faint-of-heart.

A Simple Hello

Hi,

I just wanted to reach out to all the struggling, starving, and overworked student artists; I feel your pain! I am a student attending the Emily Carr University in Vancouver BC Canada.

I have been a practicing artist for most of my young life, "specializing" in nudes and human figures. I never started out in art, though I had always practiced it throughout high school.

I actually first went to school for fashion at Ryerson University in Toronto. However, after half a year of grueling nights slumped over an industrial sewing machine, multiple stab wounds in my fingers from the seam ripper, and tired of memorizing 80 types of cloth; I promptly dropped out and registered for Emily Carr the next year.

Though the workload has hardly decreased, I have truly re-found my first love and perhaps my secret love affair, art. I would not change one min of my experiences within fashion, Toronto, or Ryerson, but I am very glad to be in a better place.

I am hoping to reach out to all those with a deep love of art and perhaps post some of my own work. I look at this blog more as a continuing work-in-progress, a virtual sketchbook even.

Hope to hear from you internet,

Sydney M.
