Project 1"How many people live on earth?"

• Topic: How many people live on earth?

Difficult point:

How to convey the impression of a large number of people.

Art style:

Paper cut.

Project 2"Mountain and river"

• Topic: Dürfen wir uns alle als Opfer dunkler Mächte fühlen, liebe Leserinnen und Leser? Genügt das wirklich als Erklärung für das Versagen der Menschheit vor einer existenziellen Bedrohung? Und hätten klare, ungefilterte und umfassende Informationen (Klima-Fakten eben!) alle Menschen soweit aufgerüttelt, dass wir längst in einer klimafreundlichen Gesellschaft lebten? Oder zumindest deutlich und unumkehrbar auf dem Weg dorthin wären?

  Die Antwort ist leider dreimal nein.

Difficult point:

Translate the meaning of the text into animation in order to make it easier for the audience to understand the meaning.

Creative idea:

Use ancient Chinese poem to express the meaning of the text, and then deconstruct the shapes in the Chinese font and combine them into landscape compositions to create a relaxed and freehand mood. Let the audience think about the environment and personal thinking in the text.

Original ancient Chinese poem:

 舟重则覆，弓太满则折。--《易经》

Art style:

Chinese font painting.

Conclusion

I am very grateful to the responsible and enthusiastic teacher. I gained a lot of knowledge from the short project and I also saw animation details that I didn't notice before. Most of the time I use Adobe illustrator, After effect, and Resolume for animation creation. Thanks for all kind classmates!!!
