1st Session - Architecture in Motion



Frames:


The above two pictures shows my attempt to combine a drawing element into a photo. The approach in my case is just to outline the plastic bag (the protagonist in my film) and add complexity to the drawing to produce a 3-dimentional effect. Face expression and and other effects are produced by sticking the appropriate part right onto the photo. This is my approach for the modelling aspect for this session and I personally think the outcome is very satisfying.

These few sketches are attempts to outline a photo to produce a full drawing of the scene, so that modelling mentioned above can be omitted in this case as effects can be drawn directly onto the paper. Comparing this group to the previous pictures, I would have prefered producing my video using the full sketch method. This is because the full sketches provide a real cartoony effect which suits the theme for my video and it also exhibits a consistancy where both the environment and the protagonist are handdrawn.



Video:





Above is the final video produced for the Architecture in Motion session. The story of my video is about a plastic bag which routinely cleans up trash in my bedroom, and I call it the "Garbage Dog".

In regards to the exploration of the architectural space, I have tried to give understanding of this space to the viewer in the perspective of the plastic bag. Most part of the video only captured the floor of the space so to give the viewer a rough estimation of the area of the space throughout the exploration/journey of the plastic bag. It is also a nice way to picture how a pet or a small creature would venture through a environment of a much larger scale.
