First Stop-motion Bezalel (fragmented reflection)

First year stop-motion animation made by Renana Aldor and I for Ariel Blinko's course.

A little robot trying to lit his path in a fractal-expressionist world. He sits to ponder near a pond and sees his reflection breaking apart.

האם מעגל במרחב שומר על צורה של אליפסה מושלמת בכל פרספקטיבה?

בעקבות ויכוח בשיעור של טל גדון, שנה ב':
בדיקה האם מעגל במרחב שומר על צורה אליפטית כשעדשת המצלמה הופכת לרחבה מאוד.

המצלמה משתנה מעדשה של 191 מ"מ לעדשה של 23 מ"מ וכל הזמן מכוונת למרכז המעגל.

ניתן לראות שלמרות שהפרספקטיבה מוקצנת הצורה האליפטית נשמרת בעוד מרכז המעגל מתקרב לצד הרחוק של המעגל.

בכחול המעגל ללא פרספקטיבה, עדשת 191מ"מ, באדום עם פרספקטיבה מוקצנת, עדשת 23מ"מ. בצד שמאל שדה הראייה של המצלמה בשני המצבים במבט על.

Screen-design course with Michael (Mysh) Rosanov

First semester in Bezalel, animation studies, a basic design course

Assignment 2 - was to create a color composition according to a cinematic scene of our choice. I chose the death of Hall9000 from "A Space Odyssey 2001" and those specific frames:

see it on you tube

I created those two renderings to depict it:

 

paper collage

gouache

Assignment 3 - was to create a short animation according to the Hanuka phrase: "נס גדול היה פה"   (Great Miracle Happened Here( and in addition we had to incorporate the elemet of Oil.
I only created the design without the animation:

Assignment 4 - was to create a short animation with a given section of the National Anthem.

Since it was so difficult to avoid banality I made something satirical.

first semester in Bezalel - Drawing class with Meni Salama

In contrast to my previous "Academic" teachers Meni is less concerned with correct proportions and construction of volume and more with quality of line.
