Play and Forces

Method

I made a short animation with sound by using puppet tool and parenting function in AE. I was thinking about some forces come from sound in this practice. And I tried to explore different ways to make animation.

Context

Here is a source which inspired me to make this animation. I use puppet as a character to practice using puppet tool in AE.

In my mind, soundwave could be able to make something move even though it is invisible. Some people already exploring the science of visualizing audio frequencies.

Animating the movement from reacting with sound make audience feel the invisible things.

Response

A short animatic video which shows how the sound make the puppet move. The movement of the puppet finished with the help of puppet tool and parenting function in AE, which may be an option to make some movement in my studio project.
