A Day Outside
About The project that I am doing is mainly concerned with visuals, but audio selection has also played a big part in it. The idea of what I am researching is how audio blends along with motion visuals. This is why most of the videos that I produce are related more to motion graphics. The concept of this project involves trying to experiment with sounds that we hear daily, no matter whether obvious or not, as a medium for my motion graphic. I am trying to mix abstract shapes as visuals to work together with the audios that I have collected. Besides that, the abstract shapes that I created are mainly on the theme of impact, collision, reaction and transformation. There will a number of different subjects in the project. For instance, I did some experimental visuals on ambient songs, sounds that can be heard in daily life and natural sounds. In the end, I will try to compile the audios that I have collected and make it into a short clip. I might not even know what the outcome will be, but it will be interesting to step back from the creative process and let the motion take over control.

Outside Sound consists of shopping mall, restaurant, street traffic and back alley. The shape that I used here is a shape of a cylinder with 3 different layers on it. The reaction to the waveform is made with dots to show how the reaction of the sound made.

Room Sound consist of white board marker, home heater, transformer, phone, typewriter and sewing machine. The shape that I used here is a shape of a octagon with 3 different layers on it. The purpose octagon was used because it is to show how the shape interact with all the sounds that can be heard in a normal room. The result from it is really abstractive and shows the reaction that I was expecting.

Seaside Sound consist of ocean wave and raindrops. The shape that I used here is a shape of a few dots that are combine with lines to make a triangle shapes. This is to show the likeness by the seaside for example sand. Some of the triangle is being colored blue to show the link between the subject matter.
Vehicle Sound consist of airplane, bus, crowd and train. The shape that I used here is a shape of 2 different cylinder with different layers on it. The reaction to the waveform is made with dots to show how the reaction of the sound made. The one on the left is slightly showing less reaction than the right object. This is because the high frequency from the audio.

Water Sound consist of rippling water, river, waterfall and stream. The shape that I used here is a shape of 3 round shape with 2 different layers on it. The reaction is different from
others as when then audio changes, the shapes changes into something more dynamic.
