Been kinda sick for this project, and have been a bit overloaded with compiling last terms Ex. Type Videos, making posters for the event, planning the sophomore party and making invitations...
...still a bit sick.
...still a bit overloaded.
...yes I posted this right before class...get over it.
ok, whining over. On to Flash.
#1 Abstract Animation
-Content limitation 1 = Dots an abstract line shape arranged in two concentric rings.
-Content limitation 2 = Baby Sounds (Objects move to baby coos)
-The baby's sounds are distorted and sped up, being that they are erratic so is the shape movement.
-Media Limitation = Shapes abstracted from the visual language of Roads (Asphalt and lines.)
#2 Type-based Animation
-Content limitation 1 = Typeface: Alba
-The wavelength of the sound is even and large, reflecting the roundness/sleekness of Alba.
-People shouting "GO!" in unison and filling the ears with the sound=filling screen w/color.
-Media Limitation= Two Colors
#3 Referential Animation (CAUTION...LOUD!!)
-Content limitation 1 = Images all recognizable
-Content limitation 2 = All things found in nature
-Content limitation 3 (for fun) = One Color
-Abstract beats with distortion, images move based on beat structure.

Hi Jake,
ReplyDeleteI seem to be missing much (close to all?) of your process book.
This should include all of the elements that you did for the process. It would include:
Formal Analysis of sound (from list of questions)
List of 20 adjectives for each sound
Mind maps of sounds and limitations
Visual Explorations and Animation Concepts
Where did they go?
Animations
ReplyDeleteAbstract:
Movement works really well with the sound. I'm not sure about the initial decision for the visual language. Can you tell me what you were thinking? I think the idea of multiple works well - the shapes are feeling arbitrary.
Type based:
composition is good. visually appealing - the alpha and the overlapping work well to show the accumulation of the sound. Totally missing the micro qualities of the sound. The sound is much more modulated while the animation feels much more smooth.
referential:
i think the idea of image breakdown could work really well with your sound. It does get across some of the formal qualities. I do think this could have been pushed way further. Perhaps play with scale and movement more to get across more of the syntactic qualities rather than dealing with them in a very general way
