Schools of Glasgow

This project utilised Adobe After Effects to blend disparate stock footage with original, personally shot source material. Through advanced compositing and asset integration, the objective was to synthesise these contrasting elements into a unified, otherworldly environment—creating a seamless digital landscape that feels entirely alien to both original sources.

Project Evolution & Adaptability

Schools of Glasgow originated from a distinct conceptual framework, initially designed to manipulate scale and perspective between everyday objects and human figures. However, as the project progressed, shifting technical challenges necessitated a critical pivot.

Embracing Constraints

Rather than compromising the project's integrity, I embraced these emerging time and technological constraints as creative parameters. By employing an agile design approach, I successfully reworked the assets and streamlined the scope, ensuring a high-fidelity execution that ultimately strengthened the core narrative of the final work.

Schools of Glasgow: A Study in Relationships

Schools of Glasgow is an exploration of juxtaposition, examining the visual and ecological dialogues between contrasting environments. The project navigates the tension and harmony between the rigid, linear geometry of Glasgow’s urban architecture and the fluid, organic movement of marine life.

Juxtaposition

The core narrative focuses on two distinct thematic relationships:

Architectural vs. Organic:

Intersecting the hard, structured contours of Glasgow’s urban alleyways with the flowing, unpredictable forms of the ocean.

Symbiotic Coexistence:

Depicting the city's inhabitants and marine life thriving in parallel. By presenting these ecosystems together without encroaching on one another, the work visualises a harmonious, speculative coexistence between urban and natural worlds.
