presentation!!! almost there!!! decided how to present!

so i'm listening to a presentation right now
sorry jenna!!!

anways just wanted to say that i'm extremely nervous now!
i actually thought of and decided on a presentation style today on the drive here to uni!
i've bought a few small photoframes and i've printed and cut down my images to fit in those frames but also in a way so that is someone saw them, they would need to or would like to view the whole image to see and understand the feeling of the piece
they are also in black and white which is a good contrast to the coloured images.

anyways...
back to presentations......

presentations - i'm so nervous!

so today is presentation today
gah!

i'm so nervous!!!!

and i'm still thinking about a presentation concept.
i mean i've got some ideas in my mind but i haven't made up my mind which way i want to present yet
AND THERES LIKE 4 HOURS LEFT!

GAH!

some thoughts about music and copyright

well
it's almost the end of semester
hmm..... really? whoa.....
i can't believe it!

anyways....
i've been thinking about putting some music to my stop motion animation video
(if you haven't watched it yet you can view it along with my other possible artworks here)

anyways.....
after watching back again once a few days had past i had a thought that it might or i might add some music to it to emphasise the mood and feelings behind the piece.
for Snow White i was hoping to put some Evanescence music to it
they are a great band who use alot of "hard emotion" in their songs which is perfect
(i've seemed to use them alot this semester for inspiration haven't i?)
but i didn't/don't know if a song with lyrics (their more recent ones) would work or maybe an older song of theirs which is completely instrumental.
some of their songs have amazing lyrics which would fit perfectly to the video but they sound doesn't work as well, but an instrumental piece might be too overbearing and boring making people walk away without hearing/watching the whole thing.....

hmmmm.......
i asked Jenna about copyright of using music in a student piece.
i also did some of my own research after i got a response from Jenna
and because Evanescence music (which at the moment i don't know if i'll use or not) would be copyrighted i can't put it the animation with music on my blog.
i'm sorry about that
but here are a few options i'm thinking about:

  1. Imaginary from Origin
  2. Lies from Origin
  3. Even in Death from Origin
  4. Demise from Origin ** part of
  5. Eternal from Origin ** part of
  6. Where Will You Go from Origin
  7. Hello from Fallin
  8. My Immortal (band or accoustic version) from Fallin
  9. The Only One from The Open Door
  10. Like You from The Open Door
  11. Lose Control from The Open Door
  12. Snow White Queen from The Open Door --> --> chosen basically for title but lyrics also really relates to video!
  13. Weight of The World from The Open Door
yes that's quite a list but it's alot shorter than what i have in total.
hmmm....
it looks like i have alot of thinking to do between now and presentations...........................

update - after placement stuff!

well.....
haha....
i just figured out that i haven't posted anything relating to my digital art for almost about 4 weeks.....
whoa....
I apologise!

placement has been a mess, an experience, and an overall exhausting.
so i haven't had a chance to do much of my digital artwork apart from starting to plan what/where/how the photos i want to take and then just waiting for the weather to clear up for me to be able to take photos.

so i'm just checking in basically...
hope everyone had a happy, restful and reflective easter.
will post again soon!

very VERY interesting blogspot website i found......

This blog spot is done by someone else with a similar idea/concept
except the owner of this one has gone on a slightly different look and feel to her work or ideas:

check out her page:
http://vickysroom.blogspot.com/2010/08/naughty-fairytales.html
i do have to warn people that it isn't for younger eyes to view!!!

i love the first few images - the classic representations, but i love the little story the owner/publisher types underneath them which justifies the reason the images below that!
