APD week7 Xingfan Hu

Context:.

In response to this week's theme，The results of the user study show that the animated sound words can effectively and naturally visualize the dynamics of sound while clarifying the position of the sound source as well as contribute to making video-watching more enjoyable and increasing the visual impact of videos（Fangzhou Wang 2017）.I made a short animation film to link sound and animation to create a new story. I used the sound of drums and gongs instead of human voices to make the short animation film. I think this can make the sound and animation more closely linked.I think is Paidia play

Method:

First, I made the sound of drums and gongs on the GarageBand of the iPad. But in the process, I found that only two sounds were single, so I added the sound of wooden fish, so there were three animated characters. For the software I used, ToonBoom Harmony made a simple line animation.

Response:

I make different changes in the animated characters when different sounds sound, so that this simple animation can have a story. For example, when the drum makes a sound, the first character will change, and when the Gong makes a sound, the third character will change.

Reflection:

Inspired by the Japanese artist Arimurataishi, his animation is a short film made according to the rhythm generated by different musical instruments. Very interesting.
