The last breif for the semester was lights and shadow. We have to create an animatic based on the principal of lights and shadow. There are several ways to creates stories on this and the most common one would be to use light and shadow in their literal interpretation. However, I think it should be used as a metaphor e.g. light being good and shadow being evil.
While attempting the assignment I took inspiration from the paintings of enlighment era. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the writings of influential philosophers and scientists formed the Enlightenment, a philosophical movement centered on rationalism, tolerance and liberty. Its influence was strongly felt in the art of the period, in work such as British artist Joseph Wright of Derby’s A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery, 1764-66. Its dramatic use of light was intended to show how inquiry and learning are profound and deeply solemn.
It was during this period that artist tackled real world problems and used dramatic lighting to highlight the situation. Hence Lights and shadows were used as metaphors.
