For my Research
Methodology project, I looked into moths, a misunderstood type of creature with
many fascinating qualities. My main focus was the comparison between light and dark,
as whilst researching the moth I noticed that this was a common theme that kept
appearing, such as the way they mainly dwell in the night, but have a deadly
infatuation for light. I also discovered two moths that had an interesting contrast
with one another. One was the Luna Moth, a beautiful green insect with an
almost luminescent quality and delicate wings, the other, a Death’s Head Hawk Moth,
the subject of much hatred and a sign of a bad omen, with drab colours, a heavy
body, and of course, the infamous markings of a skull on it’s thorax. I then
started to investigate in to how I could portray this comparison, and
experimented with bleach and ink, black and white, and eventually came to the
art of shadow puppetry and theatre. This art form along with inspiration of the
surrealist film movement, led me to my final stop animation.
