IOL Week 3 Animate An Adjective

Keyword: mysterious

My keyword is mysterious, it is related to the theme of my project because my project is all about the unknown and mysterious, so I think this adjective might help me explore more possibilities about my project.

The method that I use for all these three experiments is to partly show the character in it instead of showing the whole thing. In the first one, I choose to hide the triangle behind the edge of the screen, it is a pretty basic way to partly hide it in order to make it mysterious. In the second one, I played with the transparency and the position of the triangle, to make it more unstable and unpredictable, which increase the feeling of my keyword. For the third one, I was trying to make some change of the triangle's outline, to give the audience a hint that this is not a regular geometric shape, it is shape-shifting all the time, which also serve the feeling of mysterious.

The second outcome works the best among these three because the rhythm and time of this one are doing the right thing, it should be slow and steady, and this is also the reason why the rest two are a bit of creepy because they move way too fast.

So in the coming project, I should be focusing on the slow movement to give the unknown, mysterious and dreamy feeling.
