Digital Stream of Consciousness Workshop

Thursday 14th April 2016

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.
