Jonathan Lindley


This lecture was led by Jonathan Lindley- a former student at the University of Huddersfield. 
Who wanted to share his own experience of using graphics in combination with sound to create interesting outputs; the aim of this was to inspire our own studio work, as well as providing some contextual background which our own work would span from. 

An example of his work was for Geist (Drumcorps) in which he composed a "glitch" like animation for the music video of this song. The heavy metal sound of this track was written in relation to "unfairness" in society- so this too was the inspiration for the design. Statistical research was essential in order to denote this "unfairness". 

This was "centrifugal force" by The Fall Line- with an electric, folk, acoustic style. That was designed an made by sunbird records. He used after effects and cinema 4d to produce these cute animation graphics.

He also shared a music video in which he felt the track had been reflected thoroughly in the design of the visualisation that accompanied it.
