APD_Week3_Play and object

Theme:

Play and Object

Context:

When I face to the theme, choosing objects as my subjects become a difficult thing to do. I browsed the objects around me and can’t come up with anything. I face my computer with my blank mind. While the icons of software fall into my sight. Then I remember the example of using memory as an object. Thus, the objects do not have to be physical objects. Eventually, I choose software that I use for most of my projects as my subject to make an animation.

Method:

I think all the software I use could be my magic button, once I click it, it shows the result I wanted. Thus, I draw a thumbnail about the animation first and choose software icons I want to demonstrate. Then model the icons in C4D. I use Photoshop to draw a sketch and record the process of the sketch. Then use Illustration to smooth the line and add colour for it. In the end, I export all the elements I created into After effects and animate them.

Reflection:

After I finished this project, I reckon any object could be as my material for creation.No matter whether it is physical materials or not, as long as I can use it probably. Besides, I found the colour of recording process doesn’t match the final work, even though I did a little bit colour grading, it still looks a little bit jumpy when I editing them together.I’ll find a better way to solve this problem.
