This assignment was to create an abstract video based on the theme transition using color or design principles. 

 Point of interest - changes with time

This video is about how choices change over time. Be it the change in career choices, made over time, or the change in food choices, lifestyle choices or even the way one chooses to behave with people. Choices change over time.

The choice here is represented with a ribbon which changes with each new frame and we tried to keep the ribbon as the point of interest through the entire video.

The transition in this video is shown from the point when choices are introduced i.e. when one realizes that they can make a choice. To the point when there is less fluctuation in the change of choice.

Color Music Video

This is a group project based on connecting emotions and colors with the help of a story. Music and background score are either made from general objects around us or generated through the software. The video is prepared using the abstract concept to avoid the direct link of any object/human/behavior. Assignment- Mini-Project in-group/ create a music video with all that you have learned about color. This video shows how a kid perceives color.

This story starts with a dream of a kid in which he visualizes how his favorite color yellow came into existence. 

The charming story of a Mr. Bubble searches for his color, who ends up finding his true color (Orange). Elephants are gray. Pigs are pink. Only the Bubble has no color of his own. He is transparent like the water. Then one day Mr. Bubble was very frustrated by seeing a world full of colors and suddenly he slipped into a slide which was full of colors. He was very excited and choose to slide on the yellow stripe, he started to enjoy the movement but he wouldn't know how long his happiness will last suddenly the slide drop him into a red aggressive volcano which was full of anger and want to eat his yellow color and want to turn him black but because of aggressive red, his yellow body turned into dirty orange. He loses all his hope after losing his shape and identity but he realizes no one will come to help him, only he has to fight against the situation to retain his color back. So he recollects all his hope and starts struggling to reform his shape. While reforming the shape he saw a door in front of him which gave him the hope to find his family. The door motivates him to move further in life no matter what will happen. So he crawled toward the door and entered a room which was filled with machines and it turned him into a new shape that the world named him as CRAYON. After getting a new shape he was very happy and walked out of the room where he saw his family was waiting to welcome him. Mr. Bubble realized that he was not the only one who came across this journey but many other bubbles had experienced the same. Now he stepped into a very family i.e COLOUR WHEEL and his family is known as secondary color which is a part of primary color. Now Mr. Bubble knows his identity that he has a DNA(mix ) of red and yellow parents.

In this group assignment, my part was to make the 2d & 3d animation and compiling all the video clips made by groupmates and adding various sounds to it.

Taking photographs of same object in different white balance.

Observation:

Exploring how same form behaves in different colors.

Observing Gestalt Principles in my surroundings

Color perception changes the way we look at the world. We connect things with colors like if a mango is green then it is not fully grown. Every color has a certain meaning and emotions attached to it and changing the color changes the whole concept. Here I have changed the color of ghost pepper found in  Northeast India to understand color perception.

When I have applied the color purple then it seems like a fruit

When turned to blue it gives the feel of poisonous fruit.

When turned to green it looks like it is not fully grown.

Color perception changes the way we look at the world. We connect things with colors like if a mango is green then it is not fully grown. Every color has a certain meaning and emotions attached to it and changing the color changes the whole concept.

Here I have changed the color of a soft drink to understand color perception.

When I have applied the color yellow then it seems like mango juice.

When turned to blue it gives the feel of blueberry juice.

When turned to red it looks like mixed fruit juice.
