Identifying Market through My Past Works

'How to Apply for Grants' is an article by The Creative Independent, a website by crowdfunding company Kickstarter. The website contains a plethora of resources, such as interviews, guides, articles, which introduces and delves deep into professional practice of an independent creator.

Through reading the article I have found out that to define the directions I will be considering in terms of finding directions in my artistic career, I need to determine my passion by looking at my interests in content and aesthetic and how it influences the animations I have done so far.

Below is the break down of content and aesthetic, and how they distill into my vision as a maker and my artist statement.

Running themes in my animations
  • Socio-political and cultural context
  • Based on personal experience
  • Anthropomorphic characters
  • Playful, funny with satire and dark twist
  • Character narrative; simple ideas with unconventional telling
Aesthetic
  • Illustration Animation
  • Entertainment value: heavy subject matter told in simple and sarcastic visual
  • Flat 2D, abstract composition
  • collage, paper cutouts and other quick & low-budget medium
  • work from simple shapes
  • doodle, quite messy and textured
  • happy accidents a.k.a don't think about the outcome
  • video montage editing

Artist Statement

An animator and illustrator interested in depicting socio-cultural issues. I am passionate about experimenting new methods and ideas of creating animation. As a recent graduate in Animation, I am looking for opportunities to develop new skills and gain experience in low-budget 2D traditional animation techniques.

Identifying market
  • independent filmmaking: apply for residencies and grants to make short films
  • freelance: Form a collective with Galuh Indri Wiyarti from Illustration
  • studio job
