Another optional workshop as part of Unit X, this time
hosted by Andy. This workshop was called ‘Digital Stream of Consciousness’
where we created short animations timed to a piece of music.
We used Adobe Flash and listened to music on one layer and
let our imaginations flow to create shapes that illustrate the sound. The music
I chose was called ‘firefly’ which had string instruments playing throughout
which was repetitive however I could visualise the movement of the stings as
the sound is made like a musician is playing a violin. There were also sounds
of a piano or drum in the background that would play every now again which I used
these shapes to appear and shrink.
This has reminded me about Flash and intend to use it in the
future, I particularly enjoy how the shapes would appear to the music which
then allowed for fluid and quickly producing an animation. I will use this
technique in the future as it does both revise the tools of Flash and develop
an understanding of timing.
