Within the Abyss (Movie Poster Project)

Homework #6 Part 1 (Movie Plot for Project)

Within the Abyss The ethereal realm is on the brink of collapse due to the influx of ghosts overcrowding the area. The reason they cannot move on is due to the grudge and regret they have had in their previous lives, their violent behavior if they were evil in those past lives, or an unpaid debt keeping them bound to the ethereal realm. Some of the ghosts have seeped into the physical world, and if this keeps up, both versions of the world will collapse in on each other due to both worlds cancelling each other out if they interact too much. The only person who can reconcile with the dead is a 23-year old college student named Ian. Ian was born with the ability to sense spirits, but never learned to hone his ESP ability. In fact, most people call him a schizophrenic or delusional, so he lived his life dismissing his abilities. He lives a bland and broken life: he suffers from an alcohol addiction, is unemployed, and tends not to have many friends to relate with. His parents pay for

Dustin Stanton Interview Response

There's a lot to break down with this article. First off, an internship at a local place relative to one's major is a good thing to consider, especially for an art major. It gives a person hands on experience on the functionality and aesthetics of the interconnected workings of design. It also allows for the development of a wider network of a career. In the case of Mr. Stanton, he not only understanding how a movie poster should be designed, but he also formed lasting relationships, particularly with Paul Anderson, and was hired by PTA. I suppose one's success depends on the amount of contacts one has. The real heart of the matter in this article was Mr. Stanton's creative process. I always thought a lot of the images in a movie poster was hand drawn. However, it's mostly going out and finding ordinary objects and using them for symbolic purposes. Another aspect to look at is not being rash and taking a break if something does not seem to fit, such as Mr. Stanton&#

Dave Perillo Interview Response

To be honest, I was taken back by the mention of Mr. Perillo using DeviantART and getting his work noticed on the website. As a matter of fact, it was interesting to hear that he started off doing fan art. I too own an account, so maybe there was something I'm able to do here. The topic of developing one's on style also heavily interested me. I had to talk to my younger brother, since he has gain a decent following with his art through Tumblr. He didn't read it, so I was interested in seeing what a novice on the subject had to say and compare it to a professional. He mentioned that DeviantART was a decent start and that an artist's style is actually an amalgam of different art styles. His idea in developing one's style is to keep drawing and always use the inspiration of what other artists are doing to help propel one forward. The information was identical. So I now have a clearer outline in how I want to improve. I might also want to apply this to my writing.
