Research stage 1



Gathering and Exploring

  • The second piece I looked up was another animation piece called "Thought of You". This animation piece is a series of gestural drawings which are placed one after another making the figures look like they are dancing and moving. The quick sharp marks of the figures moving is very interesting but the way in which the mans outline is a different color to the girls makes you question the reason why this is done. The backing track for this video has lyrics which was different to the other animation pieces I viewed. This makes it easier to understand the meaning behind the animation of what is going on. 
  • The person who did this piece was "Ryan Woodward". Ryan Woodward began his career as a designer and storyboard artist in 1995. 
  • He worked for Warner Brothers Feature Animation ,Sony Pictures, Marvel Entertainment and Dreamworks Pictures. 
  • In 2009 Ryan created 9 animated sequences, he is an assistant professor of the animation program at Brigham Young University. He has a BFA from brigham Young University and an MFA from the Academy of Art University. He is currently a member of IATSE Local 800, the art directors guild.
