Week7
This work examines the idea of sound in animation. This topic means we could make the sound be the character and explore what happened based on the sound. Sound could give a huge imaginary space. When people hear a sound they will guess a lot. Where does the sound come from? What is the sound? Is this a good thing or dangerous?
The idea I had was “A little fox girl walking in the forest with her friend's little spirit. Suddenly, a shadow swiftly behind the tree. Wind blows, those leaves rustle.”
Story:
A little fox girl walking in the forest with her friend's little spirit. Suddenly, a shadow swiftly behind the tree. Wind blows, those leaves rustle. When they walk forward a little bit, the shadow moves between trees and follows them, with breath sound and step sound. However, when they stopped and found what happened. The shadow also stopped and with the breath sound. They feel scared! Suddenly, they heard “ howl~~~~~” from far in the forest. They watched each other and both of them got nervous and fearful. They start running. They are afraid that the shadow behind them is one of the wolves. They run for their life and try to escape from the forest. Their shadow is following them! “BOOM! BOOM!” The steps begin heavy and fast. “ Run! Run!” the spirit shouted. The shadow near to them, almost got them!
“Oh My God!!” They finally jump and run out of the forest. The shadow stopped and was still in the forest. They try to see the shadow clearly. So they walk back a little bit. The true features of the shadow shocked them. That’s not a wolf. That is a huge bear shaped thing that all animals combined. Rabbits, squirrels, birds and other animals. They are curious about the fox and her friend so they want to see what they're gonna do in the forest, so just keep following them. The fox girl and her friend finally relax and make friends with these animals.
I got inspiration from the animation "NIGHT PARADE"(https://vimeo.com/11414332).
The animation is about Haruki, an eleven-year-old boy who is also the prince of all insects. It is possible he can shrink himself to any size. This part of the animation shows them walking in the forest with light. The shadow, like a dangerous thing, always follows them and scares them with sounds.
