Assignment 0.5 | motion mapping + force inflection

Part I [motion mapping]

This assignment will focus on mapping body movement and researching
ergonomic spatial possibilities. We will document how kinetics can be utilized to inscribe
spatial conditions through a series of studies. The process will be to take a series of time
lapse photographs documenting three different movements. I would suggest taking a
minimum of 10 photos of each kinetic exercise. We will then utilize Flash to create
vector animations documenting motion flow of each event. Utilizing the onion skin tool
we will then produce a series of motion capsules that will be digital modeled.

1. Document three different kinetic body movements (minimum of ten photos each event)
2. Create an animated vector animation [640 x 480 quicktime]
3. Produce onion skin motion capsules [3 collaged time-lapsed images]

Part II [force inflection]

Create at least three animations that expand on your motion mapping and inflect spatial responses on material surfaces.

Output should be quicktime (640 x480 resolution) or other median (with consultation of instructor).
