Revised Videos From Last Semester

Moving Abstractions

I make patterns in my everyday life because it calms and helps to organise the chaos in my mind. When creating patterns they are affected by my surroundings, mood, and available materials.

When listening to music, if I close my eyes and focus, I can imagine how the sounds might appear. The visual result being a moving abstraction.

I am currently making these videos so I can share with others what I see. Even though they are more for enjoyment and entertainment, they have the potential to be seen and used in many other ways.

This video is version #6 for this song. I have also decided to shorten the clips to between 30 seconds and 1 minute. Longer videos become more difficult to add variations and keep the viewer entertained.

Video progress

After taking a break from working on the video I ultimately decided that I was not happy with the original footage, so I reshot and replaced the original footage. The below video is the current result. It still needs a lot of work, transitions, a couple more layers, etc.

New Footage As Is:

Pages from sketchbook

I have been having some frustrations with the videos, so I worded in my sketch book the past couple days and will return to the video this weekend.

Here are some test pages in my sketchbook. In the first two images I am scraping the wet ink shapes with a card. In the third image I actually painted/drew with the round end of a mechanical pencil eraser. It was a fun exercise but overall I did not enjoy it as a process. The marks it made were very inconsistent and "messy". I originally tried to construct a pattern but became frustrated and turned them into flowers instead.

These are two drawings I've been working on this week. The first one is still in progress.

This is for another class but is related. This is a tiling etching design that I intend to print on fabric.

Video Draft #1

*in progress video, currently you just see rough placement, I have not edited the blending layers or added any transition effects*

New footage, (as taken)

Possible Tiles?

Some finished outlines I started over break. Possible tile designs, they do successfully repeat, but I am unsure if they are too straight forward.

Beginning New?

Here are sketches/plans for 4 visual layers that I will be creating for the instrumental song Shadows by Lindsey Stirling that I have cut from almost 4 minutes down to 2 minutes. I am not sure yet how I will be depicting the focal point of the song, the violin, I think this process will be a bit more tedious. I do know that I want it to feel like it's moving, floating, reaching and such.

Video Animation

1-27-20
Today I worked on a music video while thinking about what route I want to take next: 1. new stop motion library 2. make the patterns after picking the music 3. work with my existing library. This video is not finished, I would ideally like to add two more layers and adjust the current ones so the forming boxes are more noticeable. This particular song was also a little difficult to work with as all the sounds are very similar when listening at extremely slow speeds.
