The Design

About Near Light Animația Și Dansul Video

Prin surprinderea imaginilor cu lumini plutitoare pe stradă, după miezul nopții, când orașul ocupat s-a liniștit, această animație video aspiră să evocă o sensibilitate nostalgică pentru Macao, o peninsulă liniștită din sudul Chinei, lângă Hong Kong. Ca o reflecție și punerea la îndoială a dezvoltării economice prospere într-un oraș binecunoscut pentru industria turismului, această lucrare provoacă publicul în căutarea sensului mai profund al vieții și al fericirii.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
Tags: art video, music video, video animation, multimedia show, synthesis of video animation and dance
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."
