Master Of Animation, Games & Interactivity
-Briefly discusses your choice of opposites/binaries in relation to your project.
Appear/ Disappear: the choice for these two opposites are suitable for the animation,
when a jenga tower shows up and disappear
-What route you chose A or B? and why?
I chose A because my work is about animation works. Making experiments could help me more.
-Describe your thinking behind your approach to the experiments you conducted

I would like to create an animation loop. therefore in this excercise I test how I can do the transition between an empty ground and a building. My concept is that a jenga piece flying out the building then disappear to the ground. There are two experiments for each actions, two for existing then disappear (A) and two for nothing then appear(B) .

For experiment A1, I tried to use smear frame simply be at the middle of two frames. For A2, I tried to make the deformation looks more interesting by bending the jenga piece and make it looks like being sucked by the ground. For B1, I let the brick tiles rushing down from the sky and form up the building, and for B2, there are streching rectangles from the bottom then grow up as a building.

-Reflect on the outcome pieces

The result for A2 is better, it looks more interesting and create a feeling that something would happen on the ground next. B2 works better and more reasonable as well compared to B1.The reason for that is the direction: after the brick disappear, the object grows back again from the same place.

-Is there any way your exercise might feed into your larger studio project or inspire an aspect of it?
In terms of the transition aspect, my excercise about constructing a building may apply to other animation peices when objects goes into an empty frame. The concept is building yet it could have variations of the movement.
