2a – Animation

First attempt at the animation study.
I began by taking the diagram and extracting a 3d version of each frame, then aligning them along the camera path. From there I created camera path equal the diagram line of eh film s camera but kept the focal point on the straight line representing the central object of the film space.

Finally My Film Analysis Diagram
The Film –
City of God, directed by Fernando Meirelles, scene - “The Beginning of the End”
The Process –
I started by creating the time scale twice. Both measure time in minutes:seconds:frames. The scale on the left is measuring the rate of filmic time, double where there is a scene in slow motion and shortened by ¼ where there is a fast-forward in filmic time. The second on the right marks the points of time the camera angle is changed.
I then placed a frame proportionate to the film frame between the camera change marks, deriving the differing scene sizes. Within each scene I took a still shot for every second and diagramed the main character, other moving characters and the background. Within each frame, depending on the duration of the sequence, there are a number of transparent layered still diagrams creating the differing saturation of the frames.
The red lines on the left are the position of the camera and its focal point relative to the central object of the filmic space. Behind that, the gray area depicts the intensity of the screen relative to the camera duration and the filmic time.
Overall I am interested in looking at the motion of the filmic space relative to the viewer’s static position over time.

Photos of my Tile -Final Constructs

Tile Evolution

In this iteration of the tile I wanted to take the rotational form of the original tile and extend it in the z direction in order to capture more space. I felt the first tile was somewhat flat in its physical construct.





This tile also evolved from the original tile but rather than extending along its central axis I scaled it, which created the nautilus like form. I then explored two different arrangements. The first simply just copying over the unit, forming a striping pattern, and the second that rotated the unit 90 degrees, creating a more sinuous and integrated pattern.

Pattern Patterns

For the tile pattern I began with a spoon like piece that I cut from the fender area of the car. I First began by trying to place the pieces in a next to each other but I wasn’t satisfied with the outcome so I tried other things. I finally just decided to revolve the spoon around one of its point to create this circular pattern.

This is one of my previous attempts.

Matrix2

Here is a second version of the matrix study.
In this attempt I took two different portions of the hood bumper area and played with reversing the direction of the curve.
