the presentation

CHARLES AND RAY EAMES
THE PRESENTATION

- start with quick photos (1 second each slide) of the things they made, furniture, toys, photos, sculpture, film screenshots, plants, sculptures, exhibitions, textiles, paintings, clown faces
- include music similar to their films (Elmer Bernstein was the conductor of many films)
- stop-motion movie software
- our slides flow like their movies
- stop-motion of us drafting
- include clips of their movies (kaleidoscope jazz chairs)
- no more than titles, keep words at a minimum, simple bridges
- original brief vs final design
- full frame information
- how are we going to display all of our information (what we’ve answered in the key questions)?
- The objects make the house, the house encloses them and shelters them
→ draw a sketch of the objects first and then the house slowly forms around it (end slide?)
→ stop motion of them and then the house
