Final Ideas - Link to birds, emotion and soul

I've decided the "final image" showing my understanding of my seed and dynamic communication in the form of...a stop-motion video, using photos and Photoshop.

But first, I needed to investigate some unique birds to create some original birds...

Afew sketches of "Birds of Paradise":

And, drawing some birds based on fantasy, and the birds above:

Anyway, I've started looking into how birds and people can communicate on a different level; emotions and soul. I've looked at old photos I've taken of friends and people, and gave them a bird I felt best suited their personality, with colours that suit them. I created a new layer and using Photoshop CS4, edited in these "soul birds":






Tanya - "Cute Bird"










Ceren & Steph - "Friendship"







Gabby - "Strength/Defense/Will"












These are just ideas and sketches from the last month, so I plan to do something better for the final image.
