Week 8 The Play Of Metamorphosis
week 8 exercise video link >>click me!<<
꒰ method ꒱
-
I spent some time brainstorming any dualities or opposites that exist within my animation project and identified the following; bright/colourful visuals vs sad concept, solid vs fluid, flowers(growth/life) vs water(destruction/drown)
-
I then decided to animate clips of the character and water overflowing separately before combining them to show a metamorphosis of the girl transforming into water.
-
For the girl I animated a still shot of her slightly shaking as she cries, and for the water I tried to emulate the water overflowing I did for the cup and bathtub that I explored on the previous week.
-
Then I tried to combine them together by changing the girl into water in the middle.
꒰ result / discussion ꒱
-
It took several attempts to draw a water animation I was happy with, and that fit in with the girl animation. I initially considered having the girl fade into water and animating the water from that, and also considered having the water move around the girl in clockwise waves before having the body of water expand and collapse.
-
Instead, the final idea I iterated was the water appearing a small quantity on the girl and melding into a bigger body of water that drips down, seemingly melting the girl with it.
-
Doing this exercise made me realize connecting 2 separate animations wasn’t about slapping one at the end of the other but having both meld and conform to each other.
