Not only does Julian Opie use his style to show movement in people, he also has created some beautifully simple landscape timelapse pieces as shown below:

Julian Opie In The Guardian
I found this article about Julian Opie on The Guardian online website. It is one of the few articles I could find on him. The rest of his work and interviews are mainly in Youtube format. I suppose it is better for him that way as he is much more visual than vocal with his methods
'The highlight is Wayne McGregor's Infra, created in 2008 and looking just as compelling second time around. It's staged with a dazzling simplicity: Julian Opie's neon figures track briskly across a city walkway while the dancers beneath evoke an inner world of mystery and turmoil. The choreography confirms McGregor as a master of contemporary ballet. There is a meticulousness in his approach that gives every split-second twist and torque of the body a burnished clarity. And he elicits transforming performances from his dancers. Eric Underwood is stretched and curved to an iridescent fluency. Sarah Lamb, as a woman approaching emotional meltdown, articulates her state through an infinitely subtle quality of dyspraxic, unhinged slipperiness.'

It's been a while sinec my last blog, which leaves me not a lot of time to finish my research and development. Mainly due to having to focus my time on my animation project. Looking into Juilian Opie as an artist, there isn't a lot of reading material. However, there are a few posts on Youtube regarding his work, talking about his experiences etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KP7X9049m4 (A London Conversation with Julian Opie) This film talks about the origins of his work, starting out etc) Julian Opie, like every artist, found it daunting when he was first starting out in the industry and struggled to make money.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8c1HFMp3T0 (Julian Opie, titled This is Shahnoza in 3 Parts) Julian Opie preparing an exhibition of his work. He talks about some of the processes behind his work, for instance, finding a model who is supple bodied for more animated movements in rotoscoping.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk8VgGhxOVU&feature=related (Julian Opie - "Walking Along O'Connell Street") One of Julian Opie's street art pieces in action. It shows how simple the piece is with the bold lines looped, yet it is still mesmerising.

Decision
Today I made the decision to hone in my research and look solely at the work of Julian Opie as an artist and animator and develop his style to produce my animation clips. I believe I would be more comfortable with this because I have already worked at creating many different portraits in his style. These will be shown on my next post when I have my laptop at hand.
