My look at water and rhythms and movement in nature led me also to think about architecture and how that changes and has rhythm and movement too. As a child I was always very fascinated by architecture, and even now when I go to a new place I often trace the lines of the room, wanting to know how it was built and figure it out.
Looking at 'The Third & The Seventh' was a good place to start as it was something Simon showed the class before we took on this project fully and it shows the capabilities of CGI, and also shows a lot of interesting shapes and architecture. Obviously I don't have the time or the knowledge to achieve anything like this for this project, but it is something to aspire to and has an aesthetic that perhaps could be applied to my work in some way.
The next piece of work I looked at was this one, and it was very interesting in the time it must have taken to make, and the perspective it gives of architecture, old and new. It was made using carefully taken still images and then the rest was done in post. The effort of this is remarkable, and it creates a very time lapse effect/illusion which I find remarkable. It also gives me a few good ideas on how I could play with still images, along with the after effects tutorial I did recently. Take something very simple and make it more complex as it were.
The last thing I really looked at that involved some architecture, but was more about pace and style was this film, again by someone I knew at college. It's a heavily stylized piece which does look at architecture around London at some interesting angles, but the use of split screen and the music and the visual style creates something very dynamic and gives me something to think about in terms of colour and pacing.
