APD Week 7 - Play and Body

Theme

Play and Body

Context

Play with my body, my inspiration is from Tik Tok. I saw people playing with their bodies on video. The person shooting the video as a commander, and the person being filmed as a role to be played. The person in the video should make right movements according to the gestures and commands of the commander.

Method

I first chose an interesting song and designed the movements according to its melody and content. Based on the funny feelings I wanted to express, I chose the graffiti wall as the shooting site. After shooting, I edited in premiere. Finally, I drew an animation and added it to the video.

Response

In the process of making this video, I saw myself as a character, an actor, like a clown, a puppet man. All the action is controlled by the hand in the video. But when some movements and gestures do not match, it will become very funny, just like the game has a bug.

Reflection

I find a lot of interesting ideas in life, which is deeply encourage me to do something out of my field. At the end of the video I added a short animation that shows me colliding with other objects as I run off the screen. I think the combination of animation and video is a very interesting visual affect.
