Week 7
AIM:
I want to explore how to combine the two stages of life,
through deformation or other visual techniques.
My animation project has two components: the
protagonist's childhood memories and the story of his
adulthood, which form a contrast. When he was young,
he showed a lively and lovely side on the ferry, but
when he grows up, he is no longer as lively as before.
When he sees some complicated and bad information,
his lively mood had disappeared, and I would connect
them by looking at the mobile phone screen.
Method:
The first two short films depict the opposite behavior of
the hero in different age groups. In order to connect
them, I used the flash effect in the third video to switch
between photos and videos. The hero was happy to see
the previous photos, but the bad news displayed on his
mobile phone made him return to the heavy burden.
Reflection：
That key photo has become an important clue to connect
the two ages. I also think the visual retention effect of
the photo can well express the difference between the
previous scene and the current scene. This scheme is
cost-effective and does not require very high production
requirements. Later, I will try other ways to connect
stories between different ages.
