For Unit 56 we looked into making animations to fit the Discovery, not only being appropriate for any kind of audience, but something that would make sense being in the Discovery Museum. There for I looked into the things the Museum shows year round, and some of the installations they have occasionally.  Such as the Fenwick’s window, where they show different props from the window over the years, and some of the most popular toys available over time. I decided that my favourite idea of mine was the history of science, because it can fit anyone’s style and is easy to work with.

However we were then presented with an opportunity to make an installation for Adidas instead, and thought that would be a better opportunity. The brief with Adidas was to make a projection onto a three-stripe model that relates to Tokyo, Japan and around the years 1988 to early 1990.

Out of my first few ideas I decided on making 3 different short animations of an 8bit flat environment that resembled an 80’s arcade game, but for it to better fit the colour palette we were asked to follow I got inspiration from the popular anime Sailor Moon, with washed out colours. I put together a few mood boards to follow this idea, and a quick illustration of an environment like a Tokyo cityscape.

When watching music videos at home I decided to change my idea to something simpler, that looked nice and would take less time. I got inspiration from the music video Harder, Better, Louder by Galantis, where subjects are rotascoped and looped while talking, dancing, etc. Doing this and changing the colours to match the colour palette left me with a decent looking animation that took less time to make.
