-his works for Mcdonald’s have pleasant coloring, soft textures and subtle movements. I would like to do similar things but consider the time limit, I thought of another video: 

The Most Satisfying Video In The World
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjeKw0B8PG8
The loop animations are repeated movements, and this satisfying video has the same repetition which can make people relax.
 
Method
I would like to try different techniques and use objects I have around me, so I took photos and filming objects(from computer and food), then made them into a video.

Response
I try to find something interesting and make it move to create a loop, then I found the snack from Taiwan that looks like Fusilli, its spiral shape makes the loop have a sense of continuation. Then I found post-it on my desk. Because the small pieces of paper are connected to each other, when I grab on side of it and pull up, a zig-zag pattern was formed. When I type on the computer and delete the wrong words I typed, it reminds me of the gradually disappearing object in the video. Then I record the ‘movement’ of typing letters on computer and deleted them with pressing backspace.

Reflection
I enjoy this activity very much. Finding objects around meis fun, making and watching the video I made is satisfying. I think it would be great if I put sound in my piece, which will generate a different and more interesting feeling.
