Creative process grows in imaginative minds

blog scan0153This message can be interpreted in many different ways. It could be an inspirational quote ‘Creative process grows in imaginative minds’ however in this video, the purpose is to show the reality about the education system. We will see two different perspective views throughout the view. Keeping more to the reality, ‘Creative process dies in confused minds’ will be a replacement at points.

Music

Music is possibly the most important element of this video because it is what withdraws the attention of viewers. A simple way to make sure the right to use an artist song is granted is by visiting free commercial websites.

I’ve tried to think about ways of adding interesting sounds, for example while type is moving or disappearing. I believe this will make the video more interesting and exciting visually. In my previous post there are some photos of type animation that I’ve created. As each letter appears and moves in the frame, a sound of a clock ticking will appear. The reason why the clock sound works for this is because it creates suspense and excitement about what will happen next.

After showing this video to my studio, I got really nice and useful feedback on how to push this idea further. One of the suggestions was to leave it outside for the rain to destroy the paper. I’ve gone a slightly different direction by using black watery block paint instead because after trying to spray the paper with water it would not show much results. The letters did get a little bit runny black ink but that was the most I could get out of them.

In the photo underneath, I experimented with spraying the poster black and then letting the ink drain on the floor. There was a little bit of black ink left in the container, so I had the idea of covering the words that are not important. ‘Creative minds’ were the only words left, creating a question mark around the words made it look interesting. At the same time the question mark looks like the head of someone which related to the words.
