For my studio project, I decided to create a short music video-like visual poetry using Son Lux - Alternate World.
The title of the project is called 'Fleeting'
The video will be telling a story about the many emotions that a couple is feeling while trapped in their apartments
Feelings such as :
- Happiness
- Sadness
- Anger
- Insanity
- Hope
The narrative flow will be based on the melody of the song. Starting with slow and somber (happiness and content) to fast and powerful (Anger and Stoic).
The concept of the project is to shoot a live-footage video at home using a Sony A7s with a 35mm lens, wide enough to capture a whole frame and then using Blender to composite the two characters as black and white mannequin. Black and white to differentiate each other and their personalities.
Aside from shooting everything live, I will be animating the characters by IK rigging the mannequin and creating an "Alternate World" in Blender.
The "Alternate World" is a place where the two characters can visually expresses their emotions more than the can in real life. It's kind of like their head space and we get to see what's going on inside.
But throughout the many emotions and feelings they've felt and dealt, everything is fleeting and they will always return to each other no matter how hard it gets.
