Collaborated with: Mary Mark

Concept

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZP_I6NkQb4

Inspired by how emotions are portrayed in our body, we wanted to tell a story of how emotions manifest in our body, specifically from fear → sadness → depression.

Art movement chosen: Kinetic Pointillism/ Kinetic art (neon particles)

Storyline

Fear: Sitting down, fear goes from the chest to the head

Sadness: Stands up, spreads to hands and whole body

Depression: Crouching, particles leave the body, shadow of human remains there as human walks away

Animations

I created the following animations in Cinema4D:

shoots up to head.mp4

blue explode.mp4

shoots out blue.mp4

fill torso red.mp4

red backup.mp4

crouch blue.mp4

center swirl_v.mp4

Demo

Then, Mary and I put it together in Touchdesigner and mapped it to the body with a Kinect.
