APD - Folio 2

By Wayne (Cao ZhuoWei)

Reflective Summary

Just like driving on a track, I explored my academic field through the APD course. During this 13-week lesson, I focus on "Play" with animation. This word can be understood in my opinion as an exploration of animation. My quest for this semester is movement. Through different materials for the animation test, I believe I have made fruitful progress. Although not every week's practice has achieved perfect success, it still provides an indispensable experience. Through "play" as a weekly focus, I explore the different theme each week. For example, stillness is like to find a balance of things and a harmony that highlights the interaction of character actions and the environment. Play & Audience explores the possibilities for interaction between animation and viewers. Material & Inmaterial is more like an experiment for animating with different materials. Light has given me a lot of inspiration as an animated material, which has made me more challenging for the future. As an animator, I hope to combine "Play" with animation to create new definitions of animation through different ways of playing.
