MOTION GRAPHICS
Sea Angel
Sea Angel is a motion graphic film exploring the state of mind which is like waves of the sea. Visualization is based on a common human consciousness that we can feel but can't see.
Time Line
June 2020 - Oct 2020
Role
Motion Designer, Video Editor
Step 01
Concept Development
This is the starting point of my project. I have a rough idea in my head about consciousness visualization but I still had a hard time grasping them. After talking to my friends in the film-making program and some psychologists, I started documenting my feelings every day using words with images.
Step 01: Concept Development
A. Photo taken by Polaroid.
Everything that is real at the day.
Prism, light leak, imperfection.
B. Digital Image
A photo from somewhere in my dream that day, we trying to exaggerate and purify it to match the ideal model of my dream.
Repeat Step A and Step B.
At this point, I need a large volume of photos, digital images, and description words.
Mood Board
With all the preparing works done and plenty of research on human consciousness and emotion. I organized them and created this mood board.
Step 02
Motion Graphic Making
This is the part I work on motion graphic video clips in Cinema 4D and Touchdesigner.
Step 02: Motion Graphic Making
Cinema 4D
I created many short video clips using Cinema 4D and other plugins like X Particles, Realflow...
Music Composition in Ableton
I collaborated with Composer Holden King to create the audio for this motion-graph film.
TouchDesigner
After working on the audio with composer Holden King, I created an audio-reactive system in touch designer.
Step 03
Editing
This is the final step of this project to put everything together. Still include some adjustments on the music and single video back and forth if needed.
Step 03: Editing
Editing in Premiere and After Effects.
It was very fun on the last step since all the hard-working has already been done.
