Play and materiality

Context

‘Freezelight Magic Forest’ (https://vimeo.com/8669028) by FREEZELIGHT.RU 

Light is a very valuable material, which is widely used by many artists in different fields. Inspired by the amazing work, we decided to work together and tried to make something interesting using light.

Method

We went to a near park at night, exposing the camera for at least 30 seconds. Then we get the photos of the trace of light.

Response

I made a short light animation about pac-man, which is my first time making this kind of animation. Using light as a material to make animation is quite an interesting experience, we can’t really utilize light in reality, but it is changed in the animation world.
