CPS Week #5 - Object Oriented Ontology

In response to the theme of Object Oriented Ontology, I made a video of rain on a window by creating rainy effects and window simulation in AE.

By creating rain drips with different curves, shapes, sizes, dropping velocities and sounds, I showed that besides human’s need on rain to water plants and decrease temperature, or humans try to control the weather or shelter from the rain, Rain has its verbal and body language while they interacting with each other or other objects.

Similar work is Rain Room produced by rAndom International, it explores this theme by setting up cameras on the ceiling to detect visitor’s movements to keep raindrops away from them. Wherever visitors go, they will not get wet just like they are in a separate world from the rain. This provides them with a chance to breathe the moisture in the air, observe states and hear raining sounds without touching water drops. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkvazIZx-F0)
