Project 1 Image

This image is trying to provoke curiosity and give an introduction to the project. Compositionally the image is made up of parts that were created from the virtual model, along with frames that were taken from the original motion.

Project 1 Video Compolation

Basically this is a compilation of my work and explorations to date. I think possibly this edit could be better explained with added process and analysis, to understand the relationship between the physical motion of the tennis stroke, and the virtual motion of the computer generated model. I think what lacked in the work and my review presentation was the tangential relation tying the two together.



- Feel free to crit and comment, I would like to know what others think about how this first study and how successful, or not these explorations where.

Project 1c (1st attempt)

Well, here I tried to confine this iteration to the representation of frame, and the organizing factors which create the modules of this composition. To try and represent the sectional qualities of the "compositional displacement". I first took away the linear strip that confined the two sides of the construct to unveil the space in between each of the surfaces, in hopes this would give the animation more depth, and stronger spacial qualities. Also by giving the composition a transparency, this hopefully would add to the factor of "time", because as the viewer visualizes one surface at the present point in time, he/she is able to look back and reflect at where the animation was at an early point and time. One could also argue the fact that the viewer is able to catch a glimpse of the future, being able to visualize in a transparent form, of whats to be framed later in the animation. Since this is a first iteration, I will further explore the past animations and develop them, hopefully adding to the re-presenting qualities of the construct, in terms expressed during classes, in readings, and on the blogs.

The Motion

Here was a video splice test, were I was experimenting with overlaying video. I was trying to look at the difference between the front and side motions of the body, and the relation between the two.
