Just to show an example of colour splits. If i print them both off digitally and expose them both on one screen I can create a two colour print. The bigger the screen the better because that way I would print all designs at once then cut them out myself instead of continuously re-exposing screens.
These are the smaller (A5) screenprint ideas i've been working on. Note these are only digital tests designed to give me some scope on what the end product may end up looking like. They're a little bit cleaner than I'd like, doesn't feel like my usual practice at all. It's good to try new things but i'm still shaky on the outcome
Choose 4-6 smaller characters to go around the print (2 colour print)
Use photoshop to scale everything properly then print it off digitally
Expose screens and start screen printing them.
1 A2 two colour screenprint
4-6 A5 two colour print
M.P
Keep it very simple
Choose mundane 'breaking points'
minimal movement
focus more on sound
find shortcuts for yourself

Animator currently looking at:
Felix Colgrave, I think is my favorite animator ever. Which is a big thing to say considering he's not exactly well known or even really out of collage (America) everything he does just really resonates with me, It's just the right mix of weird but skillful that hits home with me. It's strange I find myself most drawn to digital animators when that's not at all like my practice, nor do I want it too be.
Text, how can it be used? Text can be used as an image, not with an image. It should help create the image however it's not really relevant for you, and the amount of ideas you've already got going you're going to over complicated things for yourself.
Over-Complicating things for myself? The scope of what you want to do is doable but there's still a lot to do. You're worry too much about the contextual side of things and constantly tweeking too much. You've already got a large body of work to go from, don't add more choices to that.
Colours? Colours are important in this and your idea for having welcoming colours to a unwelcoming scene work well but it's something you're just going to have to do in order to see how it all works out
Questions - Moving Pictures
How refined does it have to be? Refined as a finished product, fully. Don't think of that as it has to be a super crisy and clean animation. Just running with the very basic you can. Make it easy for yourself. Super
How relevant to the author? basic/minimal; almost abstract in a sense will work well with the ideas you're working with. As long as you show the journey you've made and why you've got there; as long as it was directly inspired by an authors text then it will be fine.
Literal or inspired by? Inspired by
Summary: Ideas are there, almost too many. Over thinking the concepts behind it all. You've got lots of ideas and you're trying to add too much too it. It can always be something you can come back too but as of now you're running out of time and the best thing for you to do now it make a plan and then just go do it.
