Project 3 - Digital Surrealism

The objective this project is to create a surreal artwork in photoshop. Below are some examples of digital surrealism.




Process

My main idea is to use the first cyborg piece I made and put it into a cyberpunk city.

I used quick selection to cut out myself into this image, after using healing brush to remove some of the ninja character which was already in the image. Then it was color matched

I used the brush tool to add some glow from the pink sign onto my body in a new layer



Saturn image I want to add

Whale image I added to the sky, Inspired the the song Gojira - Flying Whales

Whales and Saturn added in

Next I brought it into Adobe after effects for animation. My main idea for animation is to add rain fall into the image. I started by adding the CC rainfall simulation in after effects and playing around with settings a bit. Next step adding the splashback of the rain to the edge of the building. For that I used the CC particle systems 2. I changed the color to white and decreased it in size so it resembles a splash back.

Masking out unwanted parts with pentool

After getting feedback, I was told I had the wrong size composition so I went ahead and changed it to the correct one, And then brought the fils into the same project and re arranged teh animations, also added some lighting.

 Project 1 For project 1 I chose to create audio for everyday life. I wrote a storyline for it and then started finding sounds for it. Figure 1 - Story Line Figure 2 - Workflow in Audition Figure 3 - Final Mixdown Favorite work Choo Jia Yi - I like this one because it gave a feeling of nostalgia and familiarity of when going out to the LRT and basically pre Covid life. Emma - I liked her one because the mixing was great with the use of pans and it gave me the feeling of the 2000's movies set in New York City. Xin Yi - I liked Xin Yi's one because it was different from everyone else daily routine or commute type audio. It was of the outdoor and nature so it felt nice to listen to and reminded me of a hike or camping trip.

Week 3 This weeks lecture was about the design principles Repetition & Movement. Repetition is the uses of repeated shapes or elements in a piece to create a composition. It can be symmetrical or not. Movement is a composition that shows the movement in an image. Although an image is still a lot of elements can be used to show movement including lines and actions and different parts of the composition to emphasize the subject to be moving. Hierarchy and alignment is basically how a design is used to lead the viewer into a text or a subject by using different elements in it. Exercise 3 This exercise required you to make 2 artworks based on each principle Repetition and Movement, while applying hierarchy and alignment into it. Repetition First exercise is on repetition and i decided to sketch out a row of buildings. The idea is to show repetition using the building aligned next to each other. I used color pencils as water color or pastels were not available. Repe...

Figure 1 - Expression sheet Figure 2 - Character lipsync video Reflection I struggled with this project a little more than the first one. I was having trouble getting the tween to work. But the consultation and feedback from Miss Jen helped immensely I managed to figure out how the symbols work and I was done in no time. Syncing the lips tp the speech was also a bit difficult but after playing around with a little bit, I got the hang of it.
