OK, so an opportunity has arisen to do something slightly offbeat, but which will distract me further from the doll proposal until December…..
I have been inspired to create a video for Coldplay's Lost competition.
Coldplay are huge fans of A-ha, whose Take On Me video and comic book imagery formed my Degree Show installation The Unreal God And Aspects of His Non-Existent Universe.
Recently, Coldplay performed their cover of A-ha's Hunting High And Low onstage in Oslo with Magne F, and have collaborated with him in a band called Apparatjik.
So when I read about Coldplay's competition for fans to make a video for them, a vision of a Take On Me style rotoscoped video manifested itself in my mind and wouldn't go away!
Realistically I should probably make Coldplay dolls!
But my son wants to be a rock star, and so I filmed him singing along to Lost and plan to rotoscope him in the style of Take On Me.
I have made a storyboard and will be concentrating on this project for a while until the deadline in December.
