METHOD
I tried to present my ideas from observation with at least two senses with the use of Adobe Illustrator, After Effect and Premiere Pro.
RESPONSES
I found the machines on the site somehow similar to the animals, eg giraffe, swan and flamingo, in a jungle. They perform their own functions in the environment and produce some sound occasionally. I recorded the basal noise and the occasional sound from the site to mimic the situation in a jungle. This project helped me to make use of metaphor in character design and gave me some inspiration on the sound effects of characters.
