Theme:
Play and Objects
Method:
Trying to use different texture (materials) on the same object to see what is the feeling I can bring out. There are much stuff, such as dough clay, polyester, cotton, tissue warp paper, rubber band, fairy floss, straw, and nylon.
Context:
There are so many different objects in one character. People can recognize they are the “same” but also “different.” Even there is only one character; the audience has a different big feeling from the visual which recalls the memories of haptic in everyone.
It is a small test of texture sense in the stop-motion character. When I was doing this test, I also shaped the character’s entire sense to the audience.
Response:
Fairy floss is yummy…
Also, the soft materials, like polyester and nylon line, are hard to control. The dough clay is natural to shape, but it will shrink after it dries. Paper is an easy to form, but only in one side camera. It is unsure that paper can be accessed using in a 3-dimensional environment.
