The length of the original avi file of the animations were 10 seconds but when i uploaded them to youtube, it displayed the length as 11 seconds (which i think took into account of the last second where the end scene goes back to the beginning) , so i apologise for this.

Description of Production Methods, Materials of Artists' Work

Ricky Swallow. Everything is nothing.

This sculpture seems to have started out as a wooden block. In the early stages of production, Swallow may have used several tools such as chisels and scoops to carve out the eyes, nose, jaws, etc. Chucks of wood may have been carved out at the beginning of the process (eg. eyes) and gradually carving of more delicate parts (eg. the addidas hat and teeth) are completed. After a rough figure of the skull was produced, he may have used different levels of sandpaper to smooth out the wood until it became a finished sculpture as shown above. Finally, the Addidas logo was either painted or printed onto the finished sculpture for completion.

Sidney Nolan. The Slip.

Nolan may have started out this painting by painting the background landscape, beginning with the green horizon at the middle of the frame and then extending it to the bottom, adding the trees, etc. After the landscape was done, he may have painted the cliff on the right hand side of the frame. The blue sky, in my opinion, is added after the lanscape and cliff was painted. Shortly thereafter, the snapshot of the falling brown horse may have been added to the painting. It is extremely detailed compared to other parts (especially the soldiers on the cliff), which is parhaps done to draw the audience's focus. Therefore, Nolan may have spent considerable amount of time painting the horse. Finally, the soldiers with blue uniform are added to the painting and Nolan may have put last finishing touches to it.
