My interpetation:
Flowers, blooming, changing, life, movement.
It reminded me of flowers
What?
It was an assignment on time and how you perceive time. And it was about internal time. She showed the calm part. And she wanted to make it bloom naturally and artificial. When you are upset, you live in the past. When you are calm, time goes slower.
How?
She bought some tulips. 1 fried. And made stop-motion of opening the leaves. 2 boiled a flower and 3 flower in the vase. She put it in photoshop and color graded them. Some of them she put it on after effect and the other parts she added it on iMovie with dubble expositor. Most of it on photoshop.
How long did it take you? There were a couple of hundred photos in the artificial way and the normal blooming less.
She created the music on Ableton and also experimented with synthesizer to know which notes to use.
why?
Why did you choose the flower? She had struggles with the assignment and found that flowers had a clear timeline. And it was clear to her that the flower was a beautiful way to capture the time.
Why did you choose animation? She couldn't think of anything, and it felt like a spiral. Meanwhile, she learned about stage light and was thinking about using that. Most of the time she has big idea's, but she did not want to overcomplicate it.
She saw a video in school, a music video, all made out of stop-motion. That is what attracted her. She liked the movement.
Why did you choice boiling and frying? When you are upset, the time goes slower. Is connected to the frying and the boiling. She starts with experimenting, and after she starts doing it.
Choises?
Music: She is inspired by music of Nicholas Jar. He makes interesting music/ soundscape. The music has different textures to it, visually. She makes the texture hearable. Making more sound music. She uses the basics to create her music.
What came before?
Before this project she created more abstract project. She likes to connect it to the music.
What will follow?
There is a relation with what she is doing right now. It is about internal struggles and subconscious. She likes to focus it on time and the effect of it. This in combination with animation and sub subconscious.
3 questions from the question generator:
What would you change?
She would change the proportions in the video. She would change the aspect rations. Furthermore, she also didn't know that the frame had a bigger outline. And make it a bit more clean.
What are its limits?
She finds this a heart question. One thing is that it does not have a clear narrative and not easy to understand.
How can it be translated?
A book. One that reads fast and another one that reads slow. The fast one might be less boring and more fun and slow might be more pages and difficult to read.
