Drafts

I started experimenting with the idea of an animation, using as a material source Muybridge's stills.
The idea is one of a creature moving while going through several metamorphoses.
As i started i was more concerned about the overall movement, i wanted the movement to have a sense of flow, to be organic in a way, even if it does not constitute of too many frames. I sense that the metamorphoses should be as slow as possible, and should be driven by analogies (similarities) in the appearance of two figures.
In a while, i got also concerned in finding a way to combine the aesthetics of these old photographs with other elements more colorful which would give me more freedom in creating shapes and creatures. I also tried to use some photoshop's drawing tools but i am not so satisfied with the result. Maybe photoshop's collaging combined with hand drawing would be a better thought.

I consider the following collages just quick drafts.





I believe that the most important thing among all is the movement that this creature would have, something that someone is not easy to understand just from one frame.
