Reform|sneak_preview

A sneaky preview as to where I'm up to with my animation and poster for this brief. Don't want to give too much away at the moment as designs may change in these last few days, although the snippet of the poster on the right wouldn't look too bad as a banner...

Reform|the_science_behind_After_Effects

I've started to animate projectile lilies, which head towards a circle - the circle being the casing of the conker. Taking this almost violent movement towards the conker, I thought about what would happen after impact. Then thinking about impact, I thought about what reactions, forces and explosions would be involved once the lilies join with the conker.

Going down this path of impacts and reactions, I started to treat the conker as an atom, rather than a conker. Using inspiration from the 'origami cranes' legend (Fold 1000 origami cranes and your hearts desires will come true - Hiroshima survivor folds 1000 cranes in the hope to heal her radiation poisoning, notices everyone around her is dying, so instead wishes for world peace) I had a look at Imi's images of conkers, and noticed how when bundled together, they formed the basis of an atomic nucleus.

I now plan to pair this idea with noises around the theme of 'war'. Watch this space...
