Stop Motion Animation

This is my first attempt at stop motion animation. I put the images into iPhoto then used Garage Band to create the final product. The people in the photos are my sister and her boyfriend.

Video Artists

27/05/10
Video art came into existence during the 1960s and 1970s, is still widely practiced and has given rise to the widespread use of
video installations. Video art is a type of art which relies on moving pictures and comprises video and/or audio data.


David Hall
(born 1937) is a British video artist, whose pioneering work did much to establish video as an art form. During the 1960s he worked as a sculptor and showed his work internationally. He won first prize at the Biennale de Paris in 1965 and took part in other key shows including Primary Structures, New York in 1966 which marked the beginning of Minimalist art. Soon he began working with film and at the beginning of the 1970s turned to video as an art medium.

Lisa Steele (b. 1947 in Kansas City, Missouri) is a Canadian artist, a pioneer in video art, educator, curator and co-founder of V tape in Toronto. Born in the United States, Steele moved to Canada in 1968 and is now a Canadian citizen. She has collaborated exclusively with her partner Kim Tomczak since the early 1980s. An important pioneer of video art in Canada since the early 1970s, Steele has shown internationally at the Venice Biennale (1980), the Kunsthalle (Basel), the Museum of Modern Art (NYC), the National Gallery of Canada, the Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston), 49th Parallel Videoseries, the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Long Beach Museum.

Danny Matthys (Zottegem 1947) is a Flemish - Belgian visual artist, which was originally known as conceptual artist of international reputation. In the beginning of his career in the sixties of the 20th century, he was a pioneer in Polaroid art and Video art.

Documentary Makers

27/05/10
I have looked at different documentary makers to get a better idea about how to put together my segment of our project.

I found an Australian wildlife documentary maker named Malcolm Douglas who goes around Australia filming his adventures with the help of his mate and dog that accompany him. He is sometimes referred to as the barefoot bushman.

My lecturer suggested I should also look at Michel Moore and Anthony Q Artis.
I found some information about Michel Moore on Wikipedia which i found interesting to read.
