Animation 'Subliminal SMOKING' by Echo Prescott

 

Subliminal SMOKING by Echo Prescott




Artist Statement:     


    The animation I created for Digital Media taught by Blanka Roundtree, is centered around the smoking/vaping epidemic that I have witnessed as a young adult and even in the teenage years. Even though I smoke, I really think that addiction is a serious topic that is not talked about enough, even though we are constantly seeing advertisements and public service announcements everywhere. This is why I took it upon myself to create something that young adults/ teenagers would actually find appealing to watch. However, I catch them off guard in the end when my subject, the man in the top hat, dies. I was heavily inspired by a cutaway in the show Family Guy, specifically in Season 7, episode 12, titled "420," when Brain gets Marijuana legalized, but Stewie reminds him of the anti-pot advertisements, which is when the cutaway happens. I really liked the limited illustrating that kept the subject simple, yet it still had a humorous approach.

Her portrait from Platon is immensely powerful in a way that influences me to continue to not only work hard, but to reach those goals I have set for myself in the future. The portrait also makes me feel as if I can see the struggle and success in her eyes, not just the raw-ness of emotion, but also seeing the past, present, and future in one singular take done by Platon. I think that for me this would be my most re...

The Finale... ECHOS PORTFOLIO

 The art:  The artist statement:  The portfolio you just seen above is all my work I have created with much grace and sweat, and then curated together to become "professionally" presentable. I used Adobe's color palette on custom mode to perfectly pick out the correct colors that represented who I am as the artist which was turquoise (#7ADFCE) (a popular mineral used in Indigenous jewelry and regalia), dark green (#025000) for nature, then red (#DF3E3E), yellow (#E1D656), white (paper) from the medicine wheel, and dark brown (#7C4300) for a neutral color to match the rest of the color theme. The Adobe font "Superior Title" was my best friend in accomplishing a groovy, sophisticated look I wanted to show style but also professionalism. My body text is all Adobe's font of "Khmer MN" which isn't the original font I want ("Bebas Neue") but it did an alright job of a being a good body text since it is still readable and stylized to fit the...
