The book ive chosen to make a title sequence for is " Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig. Its a book featuring two journeys, one of which is with his son on a motorbike, the 'physical' journey, and the other, a mental journey, through the authors mind, about the meaning of 'Quality'. The reason i chose this book, is firstly because its an amazing read, but also because i thought it would be a bit of a challenge, since its a philosophical book.
My interests lie mainly in 3D animation, but for this project im trying to try out different things and play around with some 2D animation in After Effects.
Pirsig’s influence is still current, if you read Richard Sennett’s ‘the Craftsman’ the life of virtue is seen as adhering to our simple ‘uncorrupted’ nature. Robert Persig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance being a precursor of this, his idea of ‘quality’ being very similar to Sennett’s craftsmanship.
