Theme

Play and Nature

Method

This week, I used procreate to create two short animations, and I used Aftereffect to compose and add effects.

Context

This week, I was confused about how to play with Nature. Searching for Nature on the Internet, you can see many videos about natural sounds and beautiful natural scenery. Such as Forest Waterfall Nature Sounds (johnnielawson: https://www.youtube.com/c/johnnielawson). In these videos, we can appreciate that nature is able to calm, relax and heal.

In this creation, I was inspired by the video 'Switzerland AMAZING Beautiful Nature with Soothing Relaxing Music, 4k Ultra HD by Tim Janis' (Tim Janis, 2021). There are many pictures of flowers and grass being blown by the wind in the video.

It looks calm and beautiful and makes one feel very relaxed inside.

So I locked the keywords for this creation:

1. "Relax" "Nature"
2. Wind and grass and flowers
3. Soft music

Reflection

In this creation, I found that nature is always awe-inspiring and makes people feel great. People may be away from nature for too long, causing people in cities to be always in a hurry. Most people's entertainment products in cities are electronic devices such as computers, TVs and mobile phones. Plants, sweeping vistas, water, and wildlife Even just a vegetable garden or a row of houseplants can be relaxing (Coyne 2014). But the truth is, thinking rationally about our current state of life, we cannot leave our electronic devices. Then you need to find a way to use electronic devices to relax yourself. Digital photography, nature documentaries, meditation software are all digital Interventions (Coyne 2014)). This is also the original intention of my creation this time, to let people relax on electronic devices.
