A video of my complete final composition for stop-motion demonstrating a “euphoric-breaking free”
Project Description
In this design I aim to create a stop-motion video that takes the viewer on an otherworldly journey through space, conveying the sensation of breaking free from the limitations of daily life through music. Using paper mechanics and stop-motion techniques, I will create a visual experience that captures the excitement and exhilaration of embarking on a transformative adventure. Inspired by the beat switch in the music and the instrumental version of Frank Ocean’s song “Nights” from 3:35 to 3:45, the video’s protagonist will venture through space towards a portal that will serve as the gateway to the climactic experience.
To achieve this vision, I will employ various concept-building strategies, experimenting with different models and prototypes to refine the design. I will prioritize material sensitivity and functionality, thoughtfully constructing the interactive image to ensure an engaging and seamless experience for the viewer. Ultimately, my goal is to create a dynamic and captivating stop-motion video that captures the essence of the ethereal and transports the viewer to a world beyond our own. This musical interlude serves as a pivotal moment in the narrative, marking the character’s departure from the earthly realm (along with the inversion from white to black paper) and then the journey is concluded after falling through the portal back to Earth.
