DSDN101 Project 3 Standpoint

Nowadays, the world has been changing quickly accompanying with rapid technology development. Especially by the development of the new technology, new product and new function. It is very important for students to keep pace with the technology and fully understand the changeable of digital era. And I believe media design, as ‘a new way of seeing’,transfer our visual sense between virtual and real freely.

The success of Avatar is a digital media innovation milestone. It directed by American famous director James Cameron, he used virtual camera system to direct the motion-capture filmmaking. He described the system as a “form of pure creation where if you want to move a tree or a mountain or the sky or change the time of day, you have complete control over the elements.” (Warren, 2005) People like sensational and visual impact. Although wire is strong, useless and ugly are the first thing come into people mind. The wireman is my main character. It was given life in my 30-40 seconds animation. The performance of the animation technique tried to though different actions such as emotion, jumping, running and any other personification actions to express it also flexible. It represents that by the digital technology we can change things features if we want. 

Film making should give the strong feeling or impression to an audience, then has struck a responsive chord in the hearts of them. Although avatar is an epic science fiction film, it cannot success without the plot. No matter how virtual it is, its plot constitutes a picture of life of human beings. All illusory come from reality. Similar to the wire restored it essence in the end of my animation, it cannot disconnected from reality. Therefore, Wireman is not just the main character. It is a symbol which organic combination of virtual world and real world.
