Hi….
I’m Daniel Cody, and while that name has nothing at face value, this visual essay will show what I’d like it to mean in the future.
I am currently rotating through the first year carousel of multimedia areas, animation, moving image and interactive space, or web. This visual essay should express my passion for, and hopefully my prowess in moving image, by way of my projects, influences and inspirations. The essay will also display the reasons I have for choosing the moving image pathway, as well as my reasons for rejecting the others.
I will call upon example of work from three different practitioners in the field of moving image, to display my influences and inspirations, and to show how their work reflects my own. Two of these practitioners are the film writer/director/producer Quentin Tarantino, and the film writing/directing duo the Coen brothers. Their work is both masterful thought provoking and I will show how so in this essay.
So in short this essay combines the work of me, the works of others and the reasons combined, that all in all lead to my choice down the moving image pathway. Let’s begin.
