PROJECT 2 place in mind

the test combines two kinds of aesthetics. photo texture and motion graphic. as teacher's suggestion, I blur the camera side to let view point be clear.

Daily research_human perception of image is not" flat"

This video is a fun-making music video from koji Morimoto's animation work

I picked up the video is to proof the evidence that audience can get the huge information by 2d image. even the music, melody,rhythm, and kinesthesia. I just image the human perception as a searching unit, it will extend and  filled with the main subject in animation.and enjoy the each  feeling of the property.

Simply speaking, how much feeling the audience got is depended on how much properties of the subject.I think thinking in the way can develop the quality of 2d animation.

Inspired by the article"Herder’s treatment of our response to three-dimensional sculpture with a kind of ‘inner

sense.’ His goal is to explain how audiences experience certain felt qualities of movementduring dance performances, with implications for how other art forms such as architecture

also can activate non-visual responses, including a haptic sense of engagement with space." "Movement for Movement’s Sake? On the Relationship between Kinaesthesia and Aesthetics” surveys a vast sweep of historical and contemporary views on the so-called “inner” senses, including in particular kinaesthesia"."“sensory fluidity. This is a basic ability, exploited by artists and evoking appropriate responses from audiences, to integrate experiences from different perceptual origins. It employs embodied patterns of memory to move across time periods, and draws upon intersubjective patterns to promote sharing of affective experience.".  "there is a very real sense in which an expressive bodily gesture can look like music sounds." "filmmaker Gus Van Sant. His films, including Elephant and Gerry, explore relationships among camera movement, narrative, character identity, and audience emotions in complex ways. Rocha describes the neural and physiological evidence relevant to explaining how images and sounds can provide us with access to the multisensory realm"." artists can

explore and communicate imagination through a variety of media such as literature and music." 

Above all , one word is supposed to be"cross-moda perception"!

Daily research_Body language

it is a music video by the Chemical Brothers performing Swoon
It s beautiful body image and perfect acting is depth moving. I just readed the article <What makes motion meaningful? Affective properties of abstract motion>  the sentense is"We differentiate motion from movement. Movementcomprises two semantic elements: what the moving objectimplies or affords (a waving hand is aesthetically andcommunicatively different than a waving flag, for example),and what the motion of the object suggests (e.g. waving asopposed to pointing or stabbing, bouncing as opposed tojittering). Isolating the motion from the object begs thequestion of how communicative the motion alone may be.Humans can perceive and identify emotions from sparse,abstracted animations of point-light displays" it is really good point of abstract motion graphic affect our feeling and emotion.

 I want to make some meaningful abstract motion graphic , and combines the traditional animation movement with new media aesthetics. the viewpoint in the article is what I am looking for.

Media discourse_ Some thoughts

(1)_The practice , process of image delivery. I got a very strong impression on this game we made on class. two people , one back to blackboard, he need draw; the other one watched what teacher drawing ,and make sure what you get is correct information telling to the drawer. the teacher drawing.chat1. the final result ,chat 2.  

chart 1

                                      chart 2

What I thinking is the process of information delivery is quit hard. "The information is changed by the media form", I am the teller, may because the language missing and noise, the result is difficult to relavent to the original picture.the result remind me the one original pure information is delivery and spread in many different channel, this situation lead to the different vision of one simple concept. 

The class is media discourse, understand media, writer is Macluhan. 

Project 1 Red Chase Blue Feed back

Today’s tuition for the "30 sec practice animation/one week". Our Martin pointed that "in the shot 04,the running charactors locked in that shot".This situation breaked the attention of audience. and the action in shot 04 is shit! hahaha, yes ,I should make the movement more exaggerate to show the strong emotion and feeling in shot 04. and Martin pointed that "shot 05 is good contact with shot 06 with the color turnning ". I quit like shot 05 the fish eye,and shot 07 may add color on the character body .

Martin said the shot 08 need animate the foot , and the blue guy should not floating on the camera. the abstract door is a kind of confusion.I need more reference and research on Graphic design .in the end , shot 09 and shot 10 unfinished because the time no left.

shot 08

Above all, the project 1 is successful on those shots I focus on . and "What I gonna to do" is do more research on Graphic Aesthetics, Exaggerate figure movement,and the audience"feeling" , their emotion changing , and "attention" in storyboard design.

I will soon upload the project 1 Gif vision.
