Further Development/ Evaluation
I started on storyboard a character similar to Morph. This character was shown with Kids television presenter Tony Hart. This little character of mine was going to pull play dough off his body to create something to entertain himself with so he didn’t feel lonely.
I didn’t like the idea and looked to do more research to get inspired.
I came across this video called Muto done by somebody called Blu and i love the idea and the style and very much reminds my of the dark humour of Banksy. Something like this would of taken ages so much time and each frame he does parts have to be repainted able to move onto the next frame.
He has a website with more of this work and a blog of what he is doing.

Banksy is the pseudonym of a British graffiti artist, political activist and painter, whose identity is unconfirmed. His street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilled technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.
It really got me thinking how could i do a stop motion like Muto with out trying to get permission and not as messy also even how much i would like to do something as big as that i do not have that much time. So got me thinking what is easy to draw on and clear to start drawing the next frame. I thought of paper and have the camera over my shoulder like its watching me draw.
I then had an idea of showing life out of my window by drawing on the window so i first drew a bird shaking on a tree branch looking out the window in my room, then flying away. I late on tried to draw a fox and it did not work at all. i tryed and owl, squirrel and all did not work at all.
so i went through a few ideas still sticking to drawing on the window.
So i thought i take a break form this and have a think of it whilst i was sorting out my room as i have only just moved and i came across some old work which was a speech/ poem close to my heart. so i decide to do a stop motion to that still drawing on the window but the images will not tell the story will make you understand the story more so u have the best of both worlds which is speech and images in stop motion.
