Design For Media:Animation Project

Statement

The story came up in my mind with one curiosity about my everyday action from sleeping to running, and my interest is attracted by the natural flow and the connection of the behaviors of our daily actions. Every action appears as a natural behavior. There is no doubt when we see someone’s actions from walking on the street to going into some restaurants. There must be the moment that can be called the connection between actions e.g., the moment when a person goes from the street to inside a door. Those actions including the connection make up one main storyline. Those ambient actions are just as important as main storyline. If I lose something, the storyline can’t have a meaning to exist. From this perspective, I do not focus on the specific action like walking or sleeping, but start imaging the flow of the sequence movements, considering how natural our action is, and getting the meaning that those ambient actions equal to creating a storyline. Actions that we are doing everyday don’t have specific reasons, but flows naturally because it’s going to be a story. We tend to believe in the importance of scene changing like movies, but I need to re-think the idea.

Practice compositing 2d with 3d animation. I needed to change the main story, especially scene 3 because of the matter of time consuming and my technical limit of animating animals.
