Exb_Bartlett Summer Show 2010

Each year the Bartlett summer show is always overwhelming and packed of people, overwhelming by the amount of students work and amazed by the quality of the presentation in the same time. I could say maybe its the biggest architecture school exhibition in London or UK.

Over 400 students from 1st year to diploma 5th year, and assumed more than 3000 drawings are shown in every single inches of space, the massive production and the energized creativity are always enjoyable in the event. The school is crossing over different disciplines which make it more attractive for all the people to evolve. Hand craft making, film and animation, digital fabrication, hand sketch drawings, CG graphics, 1:1 scale production, photos, interactive media...etc. I would rather say this is more like an architecture carnival than just a year show, you feel the passion, the ambition, the creativity all coming from the students work.

Golfer in the Bunker - Moving Camera

This is a moving camera version of the golfer, the camera is following the object, zoom in, rotate to capture the spatial quality of this landscape. The notation depicts the position of the moving points that are then become the location of the swirl object.

Mixing the footage of the original recording with the motion tracker in the After effect that pick up the position of the body to create another speed of interference that swirls in between the motion landscapes.

When the Golfer becomes the Dancer

I manage to mix the golf club with the dance motion, which combines the light, reflections, surfaces, particles, distorted surroundings, trails all in the bunker. It's only 400 frames, still 800 needs to be render out.

The Golfer In the Bunker

寄件者 MArch_Term 03

I try to construct the idea of the golfer in the bunker to get the traces of light, these are setup according to the model of the golf clubs, the surfaces that are bouncing the light coming from the embrasure and reflected around the bunker as interior. And the points that reveals the vectors on the swing motion. The distorted surroundings floating on the surface are also bring back into play. But the render time is a killer if I want to make it into animation. 12mins per frame with 300 frames as total. It will take more than 60hrs...

Test_Floating Landscape

This is testing of the idea of the surroundings floating on the surface, it is setup by using reflecting material that is picking up the lights and textures of the bunker. And the different speed of the floating is introduced as a landscape. But...it seems just a cool screen saver.

Test Render

寄件者 MArch_Term 03

After the whole day settings of growing the grass and the volume light. Computer becomes a render slave again. It's my first time trying to make this sort of fake-realistic render.
