Theme

Play and Stillness

Method

I made low poly Cherry blossom globe models using Blender. And I did the colour correction work on the video at After Effects.

Context

Coraline(2009)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp10NUAkLE0

In this movie, the parents of the main character Coraline are trapped inside the snow globe, which is pretty and beautiful on the outside, but the parents who are trapped inside look very cold. This inspired me to come up with the idea of complexity in silence.

Response

I made an animation that gives a sense of relief using the tree that is related to my studio project. Cherry blossoms flutter and the cherry blossom leaves end by falling to the floor. Cherry blossoms may signal the beginning of spring, but you can see the cherry blossoms falling and feel that spring is coming to an end. I made a short animation using a snow globe, thinking that snow globes are suitable for repeating beginning and end as well as confusion and stillness. If you shake it, the cherry blossoms will fly into it, and it will end up on the ground. Snow globes are calm and peaceful to look at from the outside, but inside they unfold a colourful and complex world. As snow globes shake, the silence continues as it breaks.
