Exploration 3

Exploration 3, which is to be 10 to 15 seconds long, will be a short animation based on a meaningful movement. The movement is to be based on a video taken personally and the animation should start out being "chaotic."The video is used for reference only and should not be in the animation. Interpreting the movement in an abstract way is a must. Any materials maybe used along with any kind of colored/textured background. Audio will also be added to this animation but only from killer tracks. 

1. First thing I did was I thought of the kind of movement ideas I could interpret. Like always many ideas came to mind. My favorite was the movement of a flower blooming but there's no way I could video tape that myself. So I used my next idea, the movement of rush hour traffic. 

2. I then searched through my room for a creative material to use for cars. I looked up and down then I came across different colored/patterned hair clips. For the background I used colored pink paper. 

3. I set up my station for shooting while I thought of a story line for my animation to make it a little more fun. I began to shoot for my first attempt and I wound up messing up the speed. I had to redo it and the second time it came out perfect.

4. My storyline was fast moving traffic with cars switching lanes and passing each other. An accident then occurs because of a typical nuisance at rush hour. The accident causes a back up in traffic and then a tow truck comes and clears out the whole scene.

5. I got my audio from killer tracks and I found a more chaotic song to fit the rush hour craziness.

This assignment was actually very easy and I enjoyed it. It was fun, quick and I didn't have any troubles shooting it.
