Group work II progress

This is the first original idea we start on monday. We draw these on the white board and make it in the stop motion animation.

Milk audio progress

DSDN101 Group Work 2

“Milk Audio” is a sound recording company and the aim of our flash animation was to both correlate effectively and efficiently with our poster we had made in task 1. We hoped to reiterate the branding of our company by simply adding animation to the current features of our poster. This was to establish ‘milk audio’ as an easily recognizable recording company synonymous with great music production. Again we used the slogan “Get On The Milky Way” as it talks to the audience and gives instruction while still remaining current with the company’s name “Milk Audio.” Although we both inverted the colour scheme to slightly differentiate from our original poster and introduced music to play alongside the animation. The music we chose was a remix of French musician Sophie Marceau featuring  Humming Urban Studio, a South Korean electro-pop band, to emphasis subtly the company’s international audience and influence in international pop culture. Not to mention to highlight the possibilities of artist collaborations and remixing while signed and recording with “Milk Audio.” Our animation hopes to incorporate efficient “Milk Audio” branding and appeal to a greater international audience.

Draft storyboard

Here is my pencil draft idea i have plan for my vedio concept about. 'A new media connect people to virtual world.'(But i will change it in the future and make the sentence more sense) The story is around the virtual and reality. The stick man has come out the drawing paper. Then it starts a new life. However it just make things worse, it  make trouble on the creater's table. Then when the creater come back try to catch it, it start escaping. Finally the creater make it into a roll of wire.

Elbow for the DSDN111

Here is several research i have made for the DSDN111. I have receive the Elbow for the precedent work.

From the bottom of the picture: the human elbow range of motion is typically 150°. But that just the some representive to our work. My model will be a abstract joint model.

Stop motion sample

Here is one of sample individual work i made for the DSDN101

I intend my clip to base around the idea - 'a new way of seeing', the inspiration is from my brainstorm around 'Media design' the feature of the post-production.


The relationship between the reality and virtual.  The stick man is on the paper from that sample vedio.  But later for my final work and storyboard, my idea is trying to make it into real one. The sample vedio is 24fps for 6s so actually i take nearly 120 pictures for this short vedio, probably later for the stop motion i need to consider about several points to improve.

• Make the vedio more clearly, this one become 480p during export time.
• More lightness for the work space. 
• Give more interesting sound.

Some inspiration for the project

Up two of storyboards is coming from the Chinese film name is Nanjing! Nanjing!

The imdb link is tt112405. 

That would be every good impression storyboard for the film. The black and white color show the striking contrast for the story. It also represent different camera angel.Really good example!

For the bottom of the storyboard. It also emphasis on the same idea from the first one. Using arrow probably for the good movement.The text on the right-hand side give the self-explanation. And the capital letter for the storyboard text and that kind of lay-out gives a nice, clean, and catch audience's eyes feeling.

Stop motion inspiration :)

This is really good animation in the real 3D space.

 

 Good drawing stop motion work

 

 T-shirt War, choose some material you have and make it into your great work!

Brainstorm

This is our group brainstorm

 

Media is support by the technology, without it we could not do anything for that part of design.

Individual work

I want to apply my skills in my discipline to the development of post production. I came to New Zealand because of when i first time watch The Lord of Ring. I start to think about digital for the future when i was a middle school student. So i love that effect and some visualisation and impression when it come to our eyes. Here are several ideas when the "Post Production" first come in to my mind.
Our clip work just like the Flim making what i have done on the brainstorm, we should give the strong feeling or impression to an audience, then has struck a responsive chord in the hearts of them.
 I want my stop motion clip to show media design to be a new way of seeing and show some different expression from reality to fiction.

Curatorial

“Modernism would not have happened without the Rococo” – American ceramicist Adrian Saxe

The first precedent image is the Burnham Pavilion by Zaha Hadid Architects. The pavilion is composed of an intricate curved aluminium structure, with each element shaped and welded in order to create its unique fluid form. “Fabric is both a traditional and a high-tech material whose form is directly related to the forces applied to it – creating beautiful geometries that are never arbitrary. I find this very exciting.” explained Hadid. She uses multiple perspective points and fragmented geometry to create the chaotic fluidity.

The second precedent image is the B32 designed by Marcel Breuer. It was an innovative design in several respects. The significant parts of the chair are the long length of chromed tubular steel. Which provide both the chair’s structure and much of its look. Like the chair, the modern movement in architecture also eliminated moulding and ornament in favour of emphasising the surface finish of materials.

Fluid Forms are everywhere around our environment. This work try to incorporate the main precedent (Burnham Pavilion) and B32. The plastic paper is the project main material, and secondary material is wire and plastic tubing. The plastic paper slice into several parts and make them hold together on straight steel, the black circle switch could change the level. The wire is use to hold the curve but at the same time its hold on the surface. Each curve from the top of plastic is just like the Burnham Pavilion top view, there are separate but at the same time work with together.

Brainstorm and Storyboard

Magma/Coffee/Incision

The word "magma" coming at first, then it melt by each letters.
The word “Coffee” is six coffee beans represent coffee letters. And the coffee powder appear the word mix with the milk lattle art. Then its become the leaf shape.
The word "incision" coming up with several blade trace on each letters.

Gum/Insomia

Gum word show at the first, as very normal bubble font style, then show its feature: stickness Then it turns back again.
'Insomia' at the first of the animation the invisible circle in the middle, it also represents 'head on the pillow' Then the invisible head turn to the left and right, so during the frame 2 and frame 3 we cannot see the letter S and M, but in the end of the story, is the insomia person hear the alarm clock noise, then wake up, so the word shows to audience at the end of animation.

Vortex/Barcode/Lighter

'Vortex' start with the each letters come through the screen as large, bold letter. Then its start to rotate into a point. and then the word smaller than before. in the end of the stage, 'vortex' in a point and cannot see.
'Barcode' The inspiration from the Matrix style, the Barcode is the digital text layout coming on the stage, then on the top of each letters, the barcode lines come through the screen and extend much more longer. But on the Frame 4 the barcode lines disappeared only the word left in the end.
'Lighter' That words is personate the action of the smoker try to get the fire on their cigarette, the circle point means the swith on the fire in the each action, then the other 5 words 'ghter' come into the screen, the i became smaller, When the L letter show to audience in the end, its get fire.

The next three storyboards are my favourite three words where more detail can be shown from longer storyboards.And my favourite and best one storyboard is Magma.

Magma

Coffee

Gum

I have chosen to use Magma because at the first of my inspiration, i try to get some letter is the laser beam. And i found the text layout is kind of rock or earth style, so the magma come in to my mind. Probably magma one is more interesting than the gum and coffee because of these two words might be really common style for the audience. Try to show some different experience to them, the hardest part in the magma one probably is the melt process.

Fluid v.s. Straight line

Here is what i have done so far for the DSDN111 project 2. Before that model, i am also have some several sketch model made by A4 paper.And several ideas will be mix them up and later try to get some new material when i asked my tutor, listen to her suggestion about it.

heliciform sketch model

Origin form

Vedio submission

 For the interim presentation vedio i want to show on the 3/5/2012. That one is my idea coming from the last work - laser effect. The Magma probably later need to add some sound effect into it. Try to make more interesting. Look more realistic sound from the magma or rock.
