Entering the Space

This is the first in the series of animations from EIAS Animator, that I used in the creation of the final video.

Surface Continued...

This was my attempt at smoothing the surface created from the previous diagram analysis. By rebuilding the surface, it ultimately became smoother and will be easier to work with in my animation intentions. The last image where the surfaces are triangulated shows the main points of focus, and ironically makes a circle around these points, much like the original point placement in the diagram...in the center of a circle.

Creation Of A Surface from the Diagram

This is the first attempt at a surface creation from the diagram created of still frames. The surface is too jagged, another rendition with smoother deformations may possibly be the type of surface I am attempting to create.

Circles in Frames

I felt like the last diagrams were not exactly successful, and I was going to completely abandon this concept, but for some reason I could not let it go. There were two things in this film that I found intriguing one was the way in which the camera was used to disorient the viewer through the changing angles. The second of which was the way in which the circle was used. Every two seconds the circle moves in the frame and no matter what it is alway present. The orange circles are exterior circles, black are the dancers who are located outside of the central circle of main characters, and blue is the faces of the main characters.



















I connected the horizontals and verticals of the centers to attempt to trace the movement further.




















Ultimately this image has begun to look like a possible surface. My next step will be to bring this into a modeling program to create a surface from the lines and points created by their intersections.

Layers

This was an attempt to see if there was a correlation to the panning of the camera and the relationship of the camera to the inner circle. I was initially using colors directly from the images, but I dont really think this study was overly successful, and I think it is not as effective as Kira's similar study, Kiras study appears to be more effective because of the colors in the film, especially because this video is one about the movement and the relationship of the camera to the circles of the image.
