Assignment 1 submission - 1/5 - 50 words

My feeling about 'fence'

Fence is about orders and patterns of intervals. It forms when things come together in a particular orders and sequences and guide chaotic things into certain orders. It is dynamic and carries different rhythms, like music, depends on the speed of the movements next to it while in music, the rhythms was depends on how the people play the musical instruments.

Assignment 1 submission - 2/5 - The final movie

Please turn on the speaker as I have added music in it, the movie and the sences are working with the rhythm of the music. For detail, please check the storyboard below (in the older post)

The resolution is a bit low in youtube.. so some of the sences can not be seen clearly..i have also uploaded the movie to the submit area in emustore.

Experiment 1 - Spotlight

Experiment of spotlight movement

Experiment 2 - Smoke

It is the experiment that inspire me to do the 'blast of element' sence in the final movie.

Experiment 3 - Random flow of particle

Particles flow in different directions..

Experiment 4 - Experiment of human figure in 3dmax

it is the experiment of human figure movement in 3dmax animation..it is new to me and i found it interesting.

Experiment 5 - Movement of camera in 3dmax

It is the experiment about the movement of camera in 3dmax, i just want to explore it in order to provide a more smooth transition in my final movie.

Experiment 6 - Explosion in 3dmax

Experiment 7 - Create a elastic feeling

This is the experiment that i did to explore the function of 'noise'

Assignment 1 submission - 3/5 - Video with highlighted 3dmax skills

Experiment 8 - Blast of elements by particle system

This is the experiment about the 'blast' of the elements, in order to provide a chaotic feeling for the beginning of the final movie. i used particle system to make it..it was inspired from the 'smoke' animation which i made before..

Transition between order and chaos.

Assignment 1 submission - 5/5 - Inspiring images

Inspiring images part 3

Rhythms, intervals, patterns, orders and sequences. The crest is like the verticle elements of fence, e.g. columns, while the others are like the interval between columns in fences..the fenquency change will also change the outcome pattern.

'Order' in 'Chaos'

Contrast between 'order' and 'chaos', they are reciprocal to eachother, without chaos, there's no demand of order, things in the world are seemed to be chaotics, but in fact they were just arranged in different order, sometimes we can easily tell by looking at it, while sometimes we have to spend a long time to explore it.

Inspiring images part 2

It is another image about frequency like what i said before in the previous post.

'Order' exists in the nature too.

Mixture of different rhythms and patterns and colours.

Music is another type of 'order', different way to arrange the notes or the way to play the musical instrument will produce different pattern, hence the music...it consists of different rhythms, depends on how the musicians play the musical instrument, like how people look at the fence when they walk it..

Assignment 1 submission - 5/5 - Inspiring images

Inspiring images Part 1

Here are the inspirating images...most of them were actually posted before, this time I just rearranged them a bit and added some new images..

Fence is consist of ordered elements, the arrangement of the elements can be varied, depends on their purpose. E.g. a wider intervals will give a less control to the movement..

This diagram is about movement, about how the movement were guided and shaped by the dark area, i.e. the fence.
Rem KOOLHAAS, Conference centre, Agadir, 1990.

Rhythm, a faster frequency of the rhythm will give a higher density to the image.

This is another example of rhythm image, it is like we took a picture with a wrongly adjusted shutter..

Pattern, chaotic materials can be arranged in different order and form interest pattern.

I think it is the diagram of movement.

I think this diagram is about movement too, and about how the movement were guided and shaped by the dark area, i.e. the fence.

4.

Different patterns of movements.

5.

Different sequences and order would give different results.

Sequences and interaction

Chaos arrangement contains orders

Fence (edited)

Fence is about orders and patterns of intervals. It forms when things come together in a particular orders and sequences and guide chaotic things into certain orders. It is dynamic and carries different rhythms, like music, depends on the speed of the movements next to it while in music, the rhythms was depends on how the people play the musical instruments.

Fence

Fence

It is a freestanding structure to separate movement.

Fences can be built in different height according to different usage. The higher the fence is, the more degree of privacy will be provided. The material used for fences would also affect its function. For example, a low timber fences can be found in the playground to separate the soccer court and the public walk path and sometimes become a sitting area while a high concrete fence can be found around the private house.
Apart from separating movement, it can also be used for protection. The Great Wall in China was also a fence to against the attack of enemy.

Sometimes, fence can be invisible…
