For my projection assignment, I created a moving animation of a a solar eclipse in celebration of the April 8th event. I animated this together in DaVinci Resolve using stock footage and photos, and simply used keyframes to animate the movement. The animation can be looped to have a continuous sequence.

“The Power of Darkness” is a short film create by Christine Ursiny that answers the question ‘what power does the dark hold over us?’ The honest answer I found when filming is that the dark holds our thoughts and emotions. Why do I say that? It’s the culture that surrounds the dark. When the street lamps comes on its the cue to go home, for some the dark represents peace for other it represents fear. The truthful answer is the power of being alone. Alone with our thoughts when the world quiets itself. The dark though beautiful as it may be it carries an air of self-reflection. The time of day when everyone returns from whence their day started.

For this project I decided to create an underwater animation. This animation is of a dolphin showing its tricks and of a jellyfish swimming up to the surface. The project was first made in illustrator and then was imported into adobe animate to animate it. In the next project, If I could change anything I would have added more to the background so that it wasn’t just the seaweed, the sand, and the water. Some aspects I will use on future projects would definitely be the programs I used to create the animation.

The light in this short video was an iPhone flashlight. I experimented with using a large spotlight, but the building was very blurry. There wasn’t a clear outline of anything. In the video, I used Jenga blocks to create a building with windows. The building fell down due to an earthquake. Shortly after, construction workers come up with ladders and build the structure back up. I took pictures of each movement and made it into a stop-motion video.
