The Design

About Near Light Videoanimasjon Og Dans

Gjennom å fange bilder av flytende lys på gaten etter midnatt da den travle byen roet seg, ønsker denne videoanimasjonen å fremkalle en nostalgisk følsomhet for Macao, en rolig halvøy i Sør-Kina nær Hong Kong. Som et refleksjon og spørsmål til den velstående økonomiske utviklingen i en by som er kjent for reiselivsnæringen, provoserer dette arbeidet publikum til å søke den dypere meningen med liv og lykke.

Unique Properties
Through capturing imagery of floating lights on streets after midnight when the busy city was calming down, this video animation aspires to evoke a nostalgic sensibility for Macao, a tranquil peninsula in southern China near Hong Kong. As a reflection and questioning to the prosperous economic development in a city well-known for gambling industry, this work provokes the audiences into the search of the meaning of life.
Dimensions & Packaging
This work could be a video for a show/screening only or could include dance in a multimedia performance with LED panel on stage or within a museum/gallery installation.

Production Technology
Video footages filmed with a Canon 5DSR and edited in Adobe Premiere for the animation. This work could also include dancers in a multimedia performance.
Design Challenge
Capturing the floating lights on street and matching images/animation with music to creative the desired mood. The incorporation of dancers in the production is also a big challenge.
Research
This work is a multimedia video animation for screening and show, but it could also be part of a multimedia dance performance with a large LED panel on stage or within a gallery/museum installation. Through manipulation of the manual focus function during filming, a dreamy effect is captured to reveal a nostalgic sensation. The video footages will then be edited to match the musical texture. In the performance, dancers added another layer of meaning to the video animation and together created a touching performance on stage.
Inspiration
The inspiration of the project came from experiencing the transformation of Macao from a peaceful peninsula to a metropolitan city. As Reinsley Husson wrote in a review of Near Light: "Every life is heading towards an unknown destination - a journey of tragedies and triumphs that ultimately allows us to discover the world, and more importantly, ourselves."
