Music Video Final Kaley Rohanna

This video was created by combining different videos that I didn’t originally intend to go together. I used claymation, stop motion, and sprite animation to interact with the old videos. By recreating some of the dances in stop motion, it appeared that the animations were dancing with the people in the live video. I put the claymation behind green paper and added it in as a green screen effect. For some of the shots, there was more light on the paper, making the effect stronger. To do this, I projected light through a paper towel roll, creating a spotlight on the clay people.

The claymation and music created a bizarre experience, making the video seem like a weird fever dream about myself. Self reflectance can be a trippy experience and if my life were to flash before my eyes, this is what I think it would feel like.

Kaley Rohanna: Light Show Experiment

Using a phone flashlight, paper towel roll, and various materials to cover one end of the roll, I experimented with how objects interact with light and how those interactions affect an audience’s experience. The light was projected onto the ceiling. The materials that changed the light the most created the biggest reactions out of the viewers. Neither myself or the two friends who were watching had seen the light interactions beforehand, and while I expected the light to change, I did not anticipate it to change as drastically as some did. It created a few interesting visual effects that were surprising.  

Having audio of the live reactions helped to convey what it was like. My friend can even  be heard saying at one point, “It looks better in person.” It also allows those watching the video to be immersed with the original audience and brings them into the time when we were experiencing it. Even though the reactions are already recorded and can’t directly be interacted with, you can still watch the light show with them and compare your experience.
