Today I explored into the latest sequence that was inspired from recent experience seeing decorative lights on trees near the seating area outside of Westfield shopping mall. Even though it’s not a park, I still considered it a part of my ‘nature’ experience and decided to investigate into it. My concept of the project might become more of ‘exploration of sight and sound of nature in London city’
This sequence is about how we sometimes ignore the sound when the sight becomes more attractive to us. I wanted to visualise the shining bits of the light here and there on the tree and so chose to cut out coloured papers onto circles to represent it.
Then I also found a way of utilising my found object of a transparent paper and used it as a medium to draw my character as a foreground onto the coloured circle shapes. I animated her with only two actions and kept messing around with the circles for each shot to create movement between each frame.
I’m thinking of using a recording of the train noise nearby the trees area as a mean to explore contrast between beautiful visual and noisy sound.
