THEME
Play and Sound
CONTEXT
The experience of making animation and watching films let me know that sound is a really important things when people watching visual things. I can make animation follow the music or choose the suitable music for my animation even though I don't have lot talent of music. Here is a work we saw in class named Begone Dull Care by Norman McLaren. This work give me inspiration. I have thought about Plant VS Zombie, plants in this game are moving rhythmical.
METHOD
I record the screen shot in PvZ game of some plants I like and choose different music for them cause their moving rhythm is different. And cutting them together in one video.
RESPONSE / REFLECTION
At the start I have thought about put plants together in one screen with one background music, then I start erase the background of screenshot and find the circle of plants moving. However, I realized that every plant has different rhythm, so I stop erase background and just keep screen shot of plants and play the recording and lots of music together to find the most suitable music of each plant. It is a interesting process to find the music. Actually I was shake with these plants when I find the music for them, it is really funny that they shaking follow the suitable music. As I said, music is a very important thing of animation. For example, I will thought mushroom is happy when it shaking with happy music even it’s face is seriously. In Norman work, he use animation to explain music, I also want to explain music by animation at beginning, but I thought I have created a work that can explain two-way.
