APD Week 2: Play and Time

Theme

Play and Time

Context
Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 20 years (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAIZ36GI4p8&t=2s)
Home Alone Flipbook: Every Booby Trap Compilation (surprise ending) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN64iCNlrdY)
Wildstyle - Sound Sync Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0inoQdaTVk)

Method
I set rules for this theme by taking a photo of myself every hour for a period of 3 days and make it a stop motion.

Response
Unfortunately, I wasn‘t able to take a picture every hour so I have to shift my idea a little bit by using stock of photos that I have very limit. I think it would be fun if I synchronised the photos with any song that would be easier to make a loop clip. I went to Soundcloud and searched for a song that is funny. I used Adobe After Effect to synchronised the photos to the song, import into TV Paint then draw on top of the clip. A short animation created according to the lyric of the song.

Reflection

This work was very fun to do. The obstacle that happened forced me to create something new within the limitation. I was told so many times that when I'm not smiling, I look angry all the time. I think it's strange that I can use those pictures that I look angry to make it funny for the other to laugh. I learnt from this work that I can use opposite element to create something fun.
