BA GMD Year 2 - Five Frame Sequence



















A lot of teaching has been going on over the last couple of months in my new role as a senior lecturer on the BA Graphic Media Design course at LCC.

I wrote a project several years back because something had been drawing me to explore narrative meaning in the abstract. I'm glad to say that I delivered Five Frame Sequence workshop to a group of 20 BA GMD students on Thursday 20 November and with a few exceptions the project was a success. I will deliver the project again next week and then publish some of the results on here.

Here's the blurb for the workshop:


FIVE FRAME SEQUENCE (25 students)
“The ‘infinite canvas’ is a challenge to think big; a series of design strategies based on treating the screen as a window rather than a page”

Scott McCloud cartoonist and theorist

We will be looking at the infinite canvas that allows the designer to control the elements needed for producing time-based outputs. Through the investigation of the works of Hitchcock, Kubrick and Campion you will combine a range of elements to create a compelling story.

You will need a notebook and a camera

New role at LCC from September 2014


Hello I am gearing up for a summer that will see me complete my project 'A Personal Apocalypse.' This work is to be shown in an exhibition at Preston, Lancashire as part of Black History Month 2014. Many hours are ahead of me where I shall begin to resemble Jeff 'The Dude' Bridges from The Big Lebowski (1998 Joel & Ethan Coen) but my work will get done and my moving image skills improved.

After this work is completed and I've revised my '100 DATES' Animated Trailer it will be time to focus on academia once more. The opportunity I have ahead of me is to help shape the direction of the famous BA Graphic Media Design course at LCC. I will be the Year 2 Coordinator responsible probably for everything that happens good or bad. I have no fear and am looking forward to this work. It is my hope that this new role will help me to achieve one of my long held ambitions.

In September I'll be back with an update and links to my new project.

Have a great summer everyone no matter what you are doing.

Karl
