2019 IOL Folio 1 PRESENTATION
1.Other work/ideas
BODY MEMORY, directed by Gyuri Cloe Lee
To intimate abstract exploration of the way we remember through the body. Not just focus on visual memories but also other senses like touch, smell, sound, and taste, she tried to represent those visually.
This animation use snapshots as the frame. I think give the audience lots of space to imagine what happened outside the frame, and also It attract people's attention effectively. Inspired by this. I want to use comics panels to show the movement in animation.
1. Project intention.
Project title: Deformed Beauty
Project statement:
This project is to explore the application of comic concepts in animation. Different from animation, the comic is a medium where the audience is a willing and conscious collaborator with static images.
The challenge is to figure out why comics allows the audience to interact with and what is the essence. Then How to apply this in animation.
The key impact of this project is to enhance the audience’s sense of participation and interactivity in animation.
2. Idea
1. Gutter and panel play an important role that let the audience connect the contents in different panels.
2. Animation consist of frames. The frame/cell in animation just like the panel in comic books because if treated separately, they are both static structures that have to be combined to simulate movement.
Application of gutter & panel
In the animation, through the application of gutter and panel concept, let the viewer conduct active construction of movement perception. This might include the use of different shape, color, characters.
5. Keep reiterating.
From here,
Research
I am going to do more research on the essence of reading comics. How to organize the panel and transitions.
1980YEN - Takoyaki Story, created by Sawako Kabuki.
For week 13
For the final work, I would like to do 3 to 4 mini animation. Each of them might be a few seconds. Presenting the transform and movement of my character.
May Consider
Type of animation: The point may need to consider, which is I was trying to do morphing animation before but until week 6, I found it doesn’t have to be morphing animation. It can be a simple movement of my character. (Like week 6 long neck test)
Overall style : Why I want to do body modification is because of people who get body modification for aesthetic purpose or physical vanity. They still imagine themselves in others perspective. Therefore, narcissism might be the word which can describe my animation style. Maybe use exaggerated color and character design to convey this word.
