Production Technology

The series of motion graphics were made for projection mapping on stage and four parts of the performances. Part 1 showcases the brief 136 years history of the university. Part 2 projects opening sequences of the event. Part 3 covers the motion graphics screening for Mahidol University Choir performances. And Part 4 presents projection mapping graphics for live concert performances.

Design Challenge

Knowledge transfer from multidisciplines is the main challenge of this design project integrating actual projects into studio class environment as project-based learning, Experiential Learning Theory, ELT. Working for the actual project with the big scale scope of work is not only help students to acquire professional skills in creative, design, and production fields, but also in teamwork, collaboration, and communication skills with problem solving and lifelong learning development.

Research

This project was integrated in the curriculum of the program. The course called Communication Design Practicum and New Media with the main objectives is for students to apply skills they have learned in these studio courses to work on the actual projects through collaborations. Students and faculty were working together with outside parties through the design process from start to finish, executing the final product to be displayed in the hall for performances. Research methodology included literature review of the insights of target audiences and the content for motion graphics storytelling. Followed by the review of best practice design works, the in-depth interviews of all parties involved in the project for design execution directions. The design process also covers the series of revisions of the works from rehearsals of the performances. Students experienced the professional working process as individuals and as a team replying to the strategy of the university to have students experience the SDG 17, Partnership for the Goal, of working together to create impact for themselves and others in the society (https://www.sdgmove.com/intro-to-sdgs/).

Inspiration

The theme of this year Mahidol University Orientation event is Be Your Own Fireworks implying that each student can be lit up as firework when coming to study at the university. Applying the theme into opening sequences, seven types and characters of fireworks were created representing core values of the university, the seven characters cover all letters of the name of the university, Mahidol, as follows, Mastery, Altruism, Harmony, Integrity, Determination, Originality, and Leadership.
